Please note the following information when setting up the system:
The hi-fi system is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly
prohibited.
If you want to set up the hi-fi system on wall shelves or in cupboards, please ensure that the
device is adequately ventilated. There must be at least 10 cm of space at the side, above and
behind the device.
Please note when setting up the hi-fi system that furniture surfaces are coated with various
types of paint and plastic, which often contain chemical additives. These additives may cause
corrosion to the feet of the unit. This may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which can
be difficult or impossible to remove.
If the hi-fi system is exposed to sudden changes in temperature, for example when taken from
the cold into a warm room, wait at least two hours before using it.
The hi-fi system is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outside, please ensure that it
is protected from moisture, such as rain or water splashes.
Do not place the hi-fi system close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair
cooling.
Do not place any vessels containing liquids, such as vases, on the hi-fi system. Do not insert
any foreign bodies in the CD or tape compartment.
Do not open the hi-fi system casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer will not
accept any liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the hi-fi system is switched off,
it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna cable. Always remove the
mains plug during an electrical storm.

Connecting the antennas
The wire antenna provides adequate reception of local FM (VHF) regional stations. Do not
shorten the wire antenna. A frame antenna is available for the reception of MW (medium
wave) stations.
1Plug the wire frame antenna into the »AM ANT« socket on the hi-fi system. Adjust the
position of the wire frame antenna until you get the best reception.
Connecting the loudspeakers
1Plug the loudspeaker cables into the »SPEAKERS 4 OHM + R – – L +« terminals on
the hi-fi system.
Connect the cables marked in red to the red terminal.
Connecting the headphones
1Insert the headphone plug (ø 3.5 mm) into the »0« socket on the left side of the hi-fi.
– The loudspeakers of the hi-fi system are switched off.
Connecting the power cord
Note:
Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the bottom of the hi-fi system) corre-
sponds to your local mains supply.
The only way to disconnect the hi-fi system from the mains supply is to pull the plug.
1Plug the power cord into the wall socket.
Inserting back-up batteries
In mains operation, the back-up batteries ensure the current time is retained if there is a
power failure or the device is briefly disconnected from the mains. The alarm time and alarm
function are not saved.
1Open the backup battery compartment on the bottom of the hi-fi system by pressing the
catch and removing the lid.
2When inserting the batteries (2 x 1.5 V, type IEC R3/UM4/AAA), observe the polarity
marked on the base of the battery compartment.
Note:
After a power cut the time on the display of the hi-fi flashes. The alarm time and alarm
type must then be reset.
