Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 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 3 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 3 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 of to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect a 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 mark-
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do 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 of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

CLOCK MEMORY BACKUP
The clock memory backup allows your alarm and clock time settings to be stored
for up to a day when there is a power interruption e.g. power failure. The com-
plete clock radio and display illumination will be switched off. As soon as the
power supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.
1 Remove the battery door to insert a 9 volts 6F22 type battery (not included)
for backup.
2 Replace the battery door.
NOTE: If no backup battery is installed or the power interruption is prolonged, you
will need to set the clock and alarm times again.
Batteries contain chemical substances so they should be disposed of
properly.
