CARE AND SAFETY ________________________________________________
This device is designed for the playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
Continuous use of earphones at high volume can damage the user’s hearing.
Protect the device from moisture (water drops or splashes). Do not place any vessels such
as vases on the device. These may be knocked over and spill fluid on the electrical
components, thus presenting a safety risk. Do not place any objects such as burning
candles on the device.
When deciding where to place the device, please note that furniture surfaces are covered
by various types of varnish and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These
additives can corrode the device supports, leaving residues on the furniture surfaces which
can be difficult or impossible to remove.
Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may damage the casing. Clean the device with a clean,
moist leather cloth. Never open the device casing. Warranty claims are excluded for dama-
ge resulting from improper handling.
The type plate is located on the bottom of the device.
Environmental note
As little material as possible was used in the packaging of your device. It can be divided
into two separate materials: cardboard (box) and polyethylene (bag). Please observe the
local regulations for disposing of the packing material.

Setting the clock
Due to the earth’s rotation, places to the west of you are behind you in time, and places to
the east are ahead of you. Therefore, the earth is divided into 24 hourly time zones. This
system is based on a standard time zone called UTC (Coordinated Universal Time),
previously known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Short wave stations always give the
time according to UTC. Before you set the clock, find out your local time zone.
Setting the local time
When you first switch on the device, or if it has been without a power supply for a lengthy
period, »HOME« and »- : --« appear in the display. The time zone code, for example »5«,
flashes to indicate that the clock has to be set.
1Set the time zone using the knob on the front of the device.
2Press »H.T.Z« (on the front of the device).
– Display: for example, »AM« and »12:00« flash.
3Set the hours using »HR.« and the minutes using »MIN.«.
4Press »TIME SET« to confirm the setting.
– Display: the current local time.
5Press »12/24« to switch between 12 and 24 hour clock format.
6Set daylight saving time if necessary (see page 9).
