

 A case of electrostatic discharge

occurs, for example, should someone
wearing shoes with plastic soles
walk over a carpet that also contains
plastic elements. Through the friction
of the shoe soles on the carpet a
charge is created in the body which
discharges itself as soon as one touches
an electricity conducting object, such
as for example a door knob or the
bodywork of a motor vehicle. Direct
contact is not required to effect a
discharge. It is sufficient to approach
the conducting item to within a few
centimetres. The charge can the dis­charge itself over an electric arc. A
discharge is thus also possible through
plastic housing components.

Commissioning

This CD clock radio is operated with
230 - 240 Volt alternating current (AC),
50 Hz. It is additionally equipped with
a back-up system for the event of power
failures, for which two 1,5 V block batte­ries (not included in the scope of supply)
have to be inserted.

➩ Insert the plug of the power lead into

a suitable plug socket (AC voltage).

shown on the display. If no battery has
been inserted,

12:00 appears on the dis-
