Dimmer switch
The Dimmer switch located on the left side of your clock radio will allow
you to adjust the intensity of the clock display to suit room brightness.
Backup battery
As with all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be
replaced. A number of factors, such as the length of time between the date
your clock radio was manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the
first time, determine the amount of time before battery replacement.
During this initial storage period the lithium backup battery is supplying
power to your clock radio’s computer memory. Once you connect your
clock radio to the household AC mains supply the battery no longer
supplies power to your clock radio’s computer memory. A fresh backup
battery can supply power to your clock radio’s computer memory for 2
years even if it is never connected to a mains supply. If your clock radio
was connected to the AC mains supply within a few months after it
was manufactured and you experience only short interruptions to the
mains supply, your battery may last for up to 2-3 years or even longer.
When the power drops below a certain level the Low battery indicator will
light. When you see this indicator you should change the battery as soon as
it is convenient to do so.
See following page for details on battery replacement.
12

Changing the backup battery
1. Purchase a replacement lithium backup battery type CR2032 or
equivalent.
2. Remove the fresh battery from its packaging so that it is ready to
install.
3. Important. Maintain connection to AC mains supply during battery
replacement. This will provide power whilst the original battery is removed.
4. Use a small screwdriver to remove the two small screws securing the
battery holder on cabinet back.
5. Remove the battery holder from cabinet.
6. Remove old battery from holder. Replace new battery with +sign
facing left side of radio when viewed from cabinet rear.
7. Replace the holder into cabinet back.
8. Refit the two small screws to secure holder and check that the “Batt
Low” indicator is not lit.

Fuse
This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug
(BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be fitted in the
plug, adaptor or distribution board.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. It is recommended
that the FM band be used wherever possible as better results in terms of
quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the
MW band.
Mains supply
The CR9945 will operate from a supply of AC 230volts, 50Hz only.
For your convenience this product is supplied with a plug which is fitted
with a fuse of the appropriate rating. If the plug supplied is not suitable for
your socket outlet, it should be removed by unscrewing the plug top, the
terminal screws and removing the cable.
The correct style of plug to suit your household together with a correctly
rated fuse should be fitted.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any connection to the larger terminal which is
marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured
Green or Green-and-yellow.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
codes :-
BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:-
The wire coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal marked N
or coloured BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal marked L
or coloured RED.
