To avoid life-threatening
electric shocks:

• Connect the appliance only to
correctly installed and properly
earthed power sockets. Ensure that the
rating of the local power supply tallies
completely with the details given on
the rating plate of the appliance.

• Make sure that the power cable
never becomes wet or damp during

does not get clamped or otherwise
damaged.

• Arrange for defective power plugs
and/or cables to be replaced at
once by qualified technicians or our
Customer Service Department.

damp cloth.

• Make sure that fluids or any other
objects do not get inside the device.

• Do not place water-filled receptacles
(e. g. flower vases) on the appliance.

• Position the appliance close to an
electrical wallsocket. Make sure that
the wall socket is easily accessible

• To avoid the risks of tripping, do not
use an extension cable. In the event
of danger, the plug must be quickly
and easily accessible.

• You may not open the housing or repair
the appliance yourself. Should you
do so, appliance safety can no
longer be assured and the warranty

distance the fields are not present,
even for electro-sensitive people.

Note:

Check the battery for power-cut
protection annually, and replace it
if necessary.

Note:

This appliance is equipped with non­slip rubber feet. As furniture surfaces
may be made of a variety of materials
and are treated with many different

Inserting the batteries

Power-cut protection

With the insertion of a 9 V block battery
(Typ 6LR61) you can avoid that the functi­oning of the appliance is interrupted and
programmed data, for example time and
alarm times, are lost through a power cut.
The battery ensures that the appliance
continues to function in emergency opera­tion during the power cut. When power is
restored, the correct time automatically
appears on the display

i

.

Note:

The alarm, radio and display do not
function with battery-power alone.

• Open the battery compartment

a

on
the underside and insert a 9 V block
battery (Type 6LR61).
