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 distribu-
tion 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.

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION
• Install the unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power cord plug can be
easily reached.
• Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect
device, the disconnet device shall remain readily operable.
• Place the set on a hard and flat surface so that the system does not tilt.
• If you do not intend to use the set for a long time, withdraw the power plug
from the wall outlet. In addition to this, it is advisable to remove the battery
from the clock radio. This will prevent any danger of leakage and the clock
radio will not be damaged.
• Do not expose the set, batteries to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
• Adequate ventilation with a minimum gap of 15cm between the ventilation
holes and surrounding surfaces is necessary to prevent heat build-up.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings
with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc..
• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the appartus.
• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
• To clean the set, use a soft, slightly dampened chamois leather. Do not use
any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene or abrasives as
these may harm the housing.
