Station tuning with the numeric buttons
(Direct frequency entry)
For this, the frequency of the station you wish to tune to must
be known. You can find these frequencies in station tables or
radio guides.
You can enter the frequency in MHz or kHz, or as meter band
on SW.
Confirm the entries with the FREQU./METER button.
On FM: MHz indication
On AM: kHz indication
Examples:
Desired frequency Entry order
99.00 MHz 99. –> FREQU./METER button
99.00 MHz 99.0 –> FREQU./METER button
99.00 MHz 99.00 –> FREQU./METER button
99.10 MHz 99.1 –> FREQU./METER button
99.10 MHz 99.10 –> FREQU./METER button
99.10 MHz 99.100 –> FREQU./METER button
7000 kHz 7000 –> FREQU./METER button
It is absolutely necessary to enter the decimal point, even if no
further figures follow. The decimal point is the indication that
the entry is made in MHz. Without decimal point, the entry is
interpreted as kHz entry.
ENTERING A METER BAND
Entering a meter band on SW
Entered numbers below 100 with subsequent confirmation by
the FREQU./METER button are interpreted as wavelength in
meter for SW.
If the entry is valid, a frequency next to the band centre will be
tuned to in the case of radio bands, and the beginning of the
respective SW band in the case of amateur bands.
See tabel on the right of this page.
It is possible to enter the following meter bands:
10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 25, 30, 31, 40, 41, 49,
60, 75, 80, 90.
Entry example for the 49-m band:
Numeric buttons 4 9, button FREQU.METER –> 6075 kHz
(= Deutsche welle).
Indication of the current band on SW
In the case of direct frequency entry or SW frequency scanning
(within a m-band):
The selected band is permanently indicated.
In the case of direct frequency entry or manual tuning:

signal that the 'automatic switch-off function' is activated.
• Repeated pressures on the SLEEP button will reduce the
switch-on period in steps of 10 minutes.
Each time the SLEEP button is pressed, the display indi-
cates for approx. 5 seconds the remaining switch-on time.
When the switch-on period has been reduced to 0 seconds,
the unit switches off.
• A further pressure on the SLEEP button switches the radio
on again and the initial switch-on time of 60 minutes is
selected.
• Repeated pressures on the SLEEP button give the following
order: 60 -> 50 -> 40 -> 30 -> 20 -> 10 -> off -> 60 -> 50 ->....
The numbers indicate the minutes left till the automatic
switch-off.
– When the programmed switch-on period has elapsed, the
unit is switched off and the SLEEP indication goes out.
Checking the switch-on time
• Briefly press the SLEEP button
– The display indicates the time left till the automatic switch-
off.
Clearing the switch-on period prematurely:
• Switch off the unit with the POWER button or press the
SNOOZE button.
CLOCK
Also here, each entry step (button pressure) must be
completed within a period of 5 seconds.
You can enter clock times no matter whether the unit is
switched on or off.
There are several possible methods for entering clock and
switching times.
Examples:
Clock time Possible entries
1st example: Clock time 6.30 6.30
06.30
2nd example: Clock time 15.00 15.
15.00
3rd example: Clock time 0.15 .15
0.15
00.15
Setting the clock time (TIME I)
Setting TIME I with the help of a reference clock.
Example TIME I : 6.30 h
The display must indicate TIME I
• Enter the clock time with the numeric buttons immediate-
ly before the reference clock changes from 6.29.59 to
6.30.00. The period between the last entry and 6.30.00 must
not exceed 5 seconds.
• Press the TIME 1/2 button at the moment when the
reference clock jumps from 6.29.59 to 6.30.00. When
pressing the TIME 1/2 button, the clock is started exactly
to the second and the minutes indication will flash.
Setting the clock (TIME II / clock time II)
• For setting TIME II follow the same steps, except that the
display must indicate TIME II.
• As the seconds of TIME II are running synchronously with
the seconds of TIME I it is not necessary to wait until the
minute changes.
Clock time indication (TIME I/II)
• You can switch
between the
indications of the
two clock times by
pressing the TIME
1/2 button (no
numeric entry beforehand.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH-ON
Your radio allows you to enter a wake-up time (switch-on time).
When selecting the function 'Wake-up with radio', you will hear
the last received station.
The switching times refer to the clock time (TIME I or TIME II)
indicated in the display.
Example:
You have entered the local time (e.g. CET or CEST) as TIME I.
TIME II stands for a second time zone (e.g. Greenwich Mean
Time/GMT).
You have entered 14.00 h as switch-on (wake-up) time and
activated the wake-up function.
– If the display indicates TIME I, the unit will be switched on
at 14.00 h local time.
– If the display indicates TIME II, the unit will be switched on
at 14.00 h of the second time zone.
Entering a switch-on time
• Switch on the radio.
• Enter the desired switch-on (wake-up) time with the
numeric buttons 0…9.
• Press the ON TIME button to store the entered switch-on
time in the memory.
• The switch-off time is automatically set to one hour after the
switch-on time.
• Select the desired wake-up mode by repeated pressures on
the AUTO button
–ɷ= Wake-up with radio programme.
You hear the station last tuned to.
–ʍ= Wake-up with sound signal.
The radio is muted and you hear a sound signal
instead. This function is also possible with the radio
switched on, e.g. to remind you at a date.
– -:-- = Wake-up function switched off.
Checking the entered switch-on time
When the radio is switched off, the display indicates the
switch-on time and the wake-up mode.
Wake-up with radio / automatic switch-on
