Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change
a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI
approved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and
an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5 Amp.
Note:
The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue =
neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
2Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
3Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E
(or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped
over the sheath oft the lead – not simply over the two wires.

Attaching the loudspeakers to the device
1Place the loudspeaker in the guide from behind and slide it on to the
device casing.
2To take off the loudspeaker push out the locking mechanism and slide
back the loudspeaker.
Connecting the loudspeakers
1Connect the loudspeakers to the »RL+ –« terminals on the back of
the device.
To insert the speaker cables press the spring buttons on the terminals.
Insert the »–« wire of the cable into the black (–) terminal and the »+«
wire (marked) into the red terminal.
Note:
Once you have connected the loudspeakers to the device you can wind
the loudspeaker cables around the brackets.
Connecting the antenna
1Plug the telescopic antenna or the cable of the roof antenna into the
antenna socket »FM ANTENNA« on the device.
Note:
If no rooftop aerial system is available, use the telescopic antenna. This
aerial enables reasonably good reception of local FM (VHF) stations.

Antennas
1 For FM (VHF) stations connect the roof antenna or extend the telescopic
antenna and tilt and turn it to achieve the best reception .
Note:
If the FM signal is too strong, it is advisable to push in the telescopic
antenna.
In case of poor reception:
If your FM stereo reception is impaired by interference due to
insufficient signal strength, this can sometimes be rectified by setting the
»FM« switch to »MONO«.
The »((STEREO))« light goes out and the FM station is played in MONO.
2
The radio has a built-in rod antenna for MW reception .
Turn the device to point the antenna.

RDS functions
Switching the device display
1Switch the display by repeatedly pressing »DISPLAY/RDS« on the
device.
– The display first shows the name of the station, then the type of
programme, radiotext, the time, the frequency and then the name of
the station again.
RDS programme service
RDS stations in the VHF(FM) frequency band also transmit their station
names (display: »RDS«).
If the selected station does not provide the RDS programme service, »RDS«
does not appear in the display.
PTY programme type code
RDS shows you the type of programmes the FM station broadcasts.
1To call up the programme type, keep pressing »DISPLAY/RDS« until
the programme type appears in the display.
Note:
If the selected station does not provide the PTY programme service, »PTY«
does not appear in the display.
Radiotext
Some RDS stations transmit information known as radiotext. This is addi-
tional information about the station and its programmes. Radiotext appears
as ticker text in the display. As this information is transmitted character by
character, it may take some time before the text is received in full.
1To call up Radiotext, keep pressing »DISPLAY/RDS« until ”Radiotext”
appears.
Note:
If reception is poor there may be gaps in the radiotext message.
If the station does not provide radiotext, »RT« disappears from the
display.
RDS time
Some RDS stations transmit RDS time information.
1To call up RDS time information, keep pressing »DISPLAY/RDS« until
»CT« appears in the display.
– After a short time you will see »CT ON« in the display followed by the
current time.
Note:
The time display is updated every minute. The accuracy depends on the
information transmitted by the station itself. You must be tuned to the
RDS station for several minutes before the time information can be
transmitted.
You can also deactivate the time update if you wish. See the ”Setting the
time” chapter, point 7for more information.
