SAFETY AND SET-UP____________________________
7 This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use
is expressly prohibited.
7 Protect the device from moisture (water drops or splashes). Do not
place any vessels such as vases on the device. These may be knocked
over and spill fluid on the electrical components, thus presenting a
safety risk.
7 Do not place any naked flames such as candles on the device.
7 Make sure the device is adequately ventilated. Do not cover the ventila-
tion slots with newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc.
7 When deciding where to place the device, please note that furniture
surfaces are covered by various types of varnish and plastic, most of
which contain chemical additives. These additives can corrode the
device supports, leaving residues on the furniture surfaces which can be
difficult or impossible to remove.
7 Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may damage the casing. Clean
the device with a clean, moist leather cloth.
7 Note, prolonged listening at loud volumes with the earphones can
damage your hearing.
7 Do not expose the back-up battery to extreme heat, caused for example
by direct sunlight, heaters or fire.
7 Never open the device casing. No warranty claims are accepted for
damage caused by incorrect handling.
7 The type plate is located on the bottom of the device.

POWER SUPPLY ________________________________
Mains operation
Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the bottom of the device)
corresponds to your local mains supply. If this is not the case, contact your
specialist dealer.
1Plug the mains cable into the socket (230V~, 50/60 Hz).
Caution:
The device is connected to the mains with the power plug. To fully
disconnect the device from the mains, pull out the plug.
The mains plug is used to disconnect the device. It shall remain readily
operable and should not be obstructed during intended use.
Inserting the back-up battery
During mains operation, the back-up battery ensures that stored settings
are not lost in the case of a power failure or when the device is briefly
disconnected from the mains.
1Open the battery compartment lid by pressing on the arrow and pushing
down the lid.
2When inserting the battery (9 V, 6LF 22), observe the polarity marked on
the base of the battery compartment.
Note:
Remove the back-up battery when it is flat or when you know that the
device will not be used for a long period of time.
Batteries, including those which do not contain heavy metal, should not
be disposed of with household waste. Always dispose of used batteries
in accordance with local environmental regulations.

ENGLISH 21
SETTINGS________________________________________
Radio-controlled clock
With your built-in radio-controlled clock, you are in possession of an
absolutely precise alarm and meeting clock which is automatically set to
the radio-transmitted time signals of the most precise clock in the world:
the atomic clock of the Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB – the
German national metrology institute). This clock is so precise that in 1 million
years a deviation of 1 second can be expected.
Your radio-controlled alarm clock receives “time telegrams” via long wave
77.5 kHz from the time signal transmitter DCF 77, located in Mainflingen
(24 km south-east of Frankfurt/Main). This time signal transmitter has a range
of 1500 km.
The device receives the station DCF 77 free of charge via the connected DCF
77 antenna everywhere, where a sufficient long wave reception is possible
with a good portable radio. In many cases, your radio clock receives the
time telegrams from a considerable distance from the station; however, the
local reception quality plays a significant role here.
The installed microprocessor of the radio-controlled clock processes the
received time telegrams and controls the quartz clock fully automatically.
After the clock is first activated, the DCF synchronisation is performed
immediately and subsequently every day at 2 am and 3 am. Depending
on the point of reception, synchronisation can take several minutes. During
this process, the » « display flashes, if the signal is strong enough, in a 1
second rhythm of the received time telegram. After synchronization has taken
place, the » « display begins to light up. If the » « display disappear,
the synchronization was not successful.
In addition to the advantages of the time precision and the exact, to-the-second
wake-up and alarm signal, your radio clock sets itself fully automatically from
winter time to summer time.

22 ENGLISH
Setting time and day of the week
If the device has been switched on for the first time – if no time signal has
been received – »0:00« appears in the display as a sign that the time has
to be set. The same applies after a power failure or if the device has been
disconnected from the mains supply and no back-up battery has been
inserted.
1Press »SET«.
– Display: »:« flashes.
2Press »HOUR/VOL+« briefly to set the hours step-by-step or hold down
to run through the hours continuously.
3Press »MIN/VOL-« briefly to set the minutes step-by-step or hold down
to run through the minutes continuously.
Notes:
When the minute display changes from »59« to »00«, this does not affect
the hour display.
The device saves the set time automatically after 10 seconds.
4To set the day of the week, press »TIME ZONE/WEC« and »SET« at the
same time.
– Display: for example, the day of the week »1« = Monday.
5Set the day of the week (»1« = Monday, »2«, »3«, »4«, »5«, »6« or »7« =
Sunday) using »HOUR/VOL+« or »MIN/VOL-«.
– The device saves the selected day of the week automatically after 5
seconds.
Note:
Display the selected day of the week and press »SNOOZE« longer than
3 seconds and hold it pressed.

»01«, »02«, »-02« and »-01«).
– Display: e.g. »02«.
Note:
If a back-up battery has not been inserted, the time is automatically reset
by DCF time synchronisation as long as the DCF reception is strong
enough. Alarm time and time zone synchronisation are each reset to
the values »00:00« and »00«. Please note that, in this case, you may be
wakened at the wrong time.
Setting alarm time 1
1Press »SET« twice.
