front edge of the mounting plate u is approx. 3.1cm behind the front of
the cupboard so that the device is flush with the cupboard after installation.
The side edges of the mounting plate u must be spaced approx. 6.3cm
away from adjacent cabinets or walls.
♦ Mark the 4 mounting points with a pencil.
♦ Using a pin or nail, make a small depression at the respective marking
points. In hardwoods, drill a shallow hole in the markings using a ∅ 2.5 mm
wood drill bit.
♦ If required, place the supplied spacers f between the cupboard and the
mounting plate. If you are using the spacers provided f, you will need the
long mounting screws g.

the time and date will be set automatically. If the RDS signal is too weak,
the time display ( ) will appear on the display 4 and the time and
date must be set manually.
Inserting batteries
You can prevent the programmed time, preset stations and alarm times from
being lost in the event of a power failure by inserting 2 x 1.5V batteries (type
AA/Mignon/LR6). The batteries ensure that the internal clock continues to run
even during a power failure. The display 4 will go out, however. When power
is restored, the correct time automatically appears on the display 4.
