Please read the safety instructions
Do not permit children to handle electrical devices without •
supervision, they cannot correctly assess the possible risks
of injury.
Check the device for visible damage. If the device is damaged,
•
immediately separate a connected power adapter from the
mains power supply. Arrange for the device to be checked
by Customer Services before continuing to use it.
Risk of electric shock
Connect the power adapter only to correctly installed and •
earthed mains sockets. Check that the electricity type and
mains voltage matches the information given on the power
adapter type plate.
Use only power adapters with an output rating of
• 4.5 V at
a minimum of 500mA.
When connecting a power adapter, ensure that the polarity
•
of the barrel plug concurs with the polarity details for socket
DC 4.5V (left side of the device ).
Do not operate the device if the mains adapter, the adapter's •
power cable or the device itself is damaged. Arrange for the
device to be checked and/or repaired by qualied techni-
cians.
NEVER open the device. There are no user-serviceable ele-
•
ments inside. Should you do so, device safety can no longer
be assured and the warranty will become void.
NEVER submerse the device in water. Wipe it only with a
•
slightly damp cloth.
This device is spray water protected. Nonetheless, do not
•
subject it to rain or snow.

- 4 -
If you operate the device with a power adapter without •
spray water protection, protect the power adapter from
moisture or humidity. Use it only in dry rooms, do not use
it outdoors or close to liquids.
Notice regarding power mains separation when using a
•
power adapter:
To completely separate the device from mains power, the
mains adapter must be unplugged from the wall socket. For
this reason, the device should be placed where unhindered
access to the power socket is always assured, so that in
an emergency you can immediately withdraw the plug. To
eliminate the risk of re, prevent unintended activation and
save energy costs, the mains adapter should be unplugged
from the wall socket when the device is not in use.
Always grip the power adapter directly when you wish to
•
unplug it. Do not pull on the cable and never touch the mains
adapter with wet hands, this could result in a short circuit or
you receiving an electric shock. Do not place furniture or
other objects on the cable of the mains adapter, and ensure
that it cannot become trapped. Never tie knots in the power
cable, and do not join it to other cables. Lay the power cable
so that no one can step on or stumble over it.
A damaged mains adapter can cause a re or electric
shock. When you use a power adapter check it from time to
time. Should it become damaged, acquire a new one from
a specialist shop.
When a storm and/or thunderstorm with the risk of lightening
•
threatens, please disconnect the mains adapter from the
mains power.

Taking the device into use
Take the device out of the carton and remove all packaging >
and adhesive foils.
Operation with the built-in Ni-MH batteries
First of all, charge up the built-in batteries. For this, fold out
>
the dynamo grip on the rear of the device and turn the
dynamo lever f for several minutes at approx. 120 revolu-
tions per minute in any direction.
Battery operation
The device can also be operated with batteries (not supplied).
Open the battery compartment on the rear of the device
>
by unscrewing and removing the lock-device on the battery
compartment cover h.
Now remove the battery compartment cover
>g and place it
to one side.
Insert 3 x 1.5V batteries of the type "AA/Mignon/LR6" as
>
per the insertion markings shown in the battery compartment.
Pay heed to the correct poling of the batteries, otherwise
>
the device will not function and could even be damaged.
Replace the battery compartment cover
>g and screw it
down rmly with the lock-device h.
Connecting the mains adapter
You can operate the device with a power adapter (not supplied)
that concurs with the specications given in the section "Technical
Data".
Using a ngernail, open the rubber cover
>j.
Insert the barrel plug of the power adapter into the socket
>
for the power supply (DC 4.5V) k on the device.

- 9 -
Then insert the plug of the power adapter into a mains >
power socket whose voltage matches the information given
on the power adapter type plate.
Switching between power supplies
The DYNAMO/BATTERY switch d, with which you can select
dierent power sources, is located on the rear of the device.
Place this switch in the position DYNAMO to power the
>
device from the built-in Ni-MH batteries.
Place this switch in the position BATTERY to power the
>
device from the batteries in the battery compartment.
Power provision from a mains power adapter functions in
>
both switch positions.
Charging the batteries
Should the device functions diminish whilst it is being powerered
from the built-in Ni-MH batteries, it means they are drained.
In this case, fold out the lever of the dynamo crank
>f and
then turn the dynamo any direction until the functions are
restored.
During the period that the batteries are being charged, the
>
CHARGE indicator r lights up.
When done, place the dynamo crank
>fback into its rest
position.

- 10 -
Notice:
Only the built-in batteries can be charged, not the batteries that
may have been placed in the battery compartment.
Switching the device on and o
To switch the device on, turn the >O/volume regulator a
clockwise over a small resistance.
To switch the radio o, turn the
>O/volume regulator a
anti-clockwise, and over the small resistance, until it comes
to a stop.
Receiving radio transmissions
Using the> frequency range switch FM/AM o, select the
required waveband:
FM = Very High Frequency (VHF),>
AM = Medium Wave (MW).>
For VHF reception, extend the telescope aerial
>y to its full
length and then determine its best positioning.
The device has a built-in aerial for the reception of MW
>
transmitters. To improve reception, if needed, turn the radio
until it is in the most favourable position.
Turn the transmitter calibration TUNING
>i, to receive the
desired radio station. Use the tuning scale s for orientation.
In the case of VHF transmitters, reception strength is shown
>
by the TUNE indicator e. The brighter it glows, the better
the reception.
Select the desired sound volume with the
>OFF/VOLUME
regulator a.
