Safety
In this section, you will find important safety instructions for using the
device. The device complies with the statutory safety regulations.
Improper use may result in personal injury and property damage.
Risk of electrocution
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury from electrocution!
Contact with live cables or components can result in
fatal injury!
Comply with the following safety information in order to avoid the
risk of electric shock:
► Do not use the device if the mains power plug or the connection
cable are damaged.
► The device housing must not be opened under any circumstanc-
es. There is a risk of electric shock or fire if live connections are
touched and the electrical and mechanical structure is changed.
► Never touch the mains plug or the device with wet hands.
► When disconnecting the device from the mains supply, always
pull on the plug and never on the cable.
► The device consumes power in standby mode. To completely
disconnect the device from mains power, the power plug must
be removed from the mains power socket. The device should
be positioned so that you have unrestricted access to the mains
power socket at all times, and can pull out the plug immediately
in an emergency.

Handling batteries
DANGER
Mishandling the batteries can cause fires, explosions,
leakages or other hazards!
► Do not throw the batteries into a fire and do not subject them to
high temperatures.
► Do not open, deform or short-circuit batteries, since this can
lead to chemical leakage.
► Do not attempt to recharge batteries. Do not charge batteries
unless they are explicitly labelled as "rechargeable". There is
a risk of explosion!
► Check the condition of the batteries at regular intervals. Leaking
chemicals can cause permanent damage to the device. Take
particular care when handling damaged or leaking batteries.
Risk of acid burns! Wear protective gloves.
► Chemicals which leak from a battery can cause skin irritation.
In the event of contact with the skin, rinse with copious amounts
of water. If the chemicals come into contact with your eyes,
rinse thoroughly with water, do not rub and consult a doctor
immediately.
► Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Children might put
batteries into their mouth and swallow them. If a battery has
been swallowed, seek medical assistance IMMEDIATELY.
► Do not mix different types of batteries.
► Always insert the batteries the right way round (observe correct
polarity) otherwise there is a danger that they could explode.
► If you do not intend to use the device for a long time, remove
the batteries.

Check the package contents
The following components are included in delivery:
▯ Radio alarm
▯ These operating instructions 16
♦ Take the device and the operating instructions out of the box and
remove all packing material.
NOTE
► Check the package for completeness and for signs of visible
damage.
► If the consignment is incomplete or damaged due to defective
packaging or carriage, contact the Service hotline (see the
section Service).
Disposal of packaging materials
The packaging protects the device from damage during carriage.
The packaging materials have been selected for their environmental
friendliness and ease of disposal, and are therefore recyclable.
Returning the packaging to the material cycle conserves
raw materials and reduces the amount of waste that is
generated. Dispose of packaging materials that are no
longer needed in accordance with applicable local
regulations.

Set-up location requirements
For safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the set-up location
must fulfil the following requirements:
■ The surfaces of furniture may possibly contain components that
could affect the device’s rubber pads and soften them.
If necessary place a cover under the device’s pads.
■ The mains power socket must be easily accessible so that the
power cable can be easily disconnected in an emergency.
Inserting batteries
By inserting two 1.5 V batteries (type R6/LR6/AA/Mignon) you
avoid losing the programmed time of day and alarm time in the
event of mains power loss. The batteries make sure that the internal
clock continues to run even during a power outage. The display
will then automatically show the correct time when mains power is
restored.
NOTE
► The display, radio, alarm clock and night light do not function in
emergency mode.
♦ Open the cover of the battery compartment 5on the bottom of
the device.
♦ Insert two 1.5 V R6/LR6/AA/Mignon batteries (not supplied)
