- 2 -

• Always grasp the power cable by the plug. Do
not pull on the cable itself and never touch the
power cable with wet hands, this could result in
a short circuit or you receiving an electrical
shock.

Information regarding the handling
of batteries

For retention of the time settings, the device requires
batteries. For the handling of batteries please observe
the following:

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

• Arrange for Customer Services to repair or re­place connecting cables and/or devices that are
not functioning properly or have been damaged.

• Only use the device in dry environments.

NEVER submerse the device in water.
Wipe it only with a slightly damp cloth.

• Ensure that liquids or foreign objects are never
able to penetrate into the device.

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

• Position the device close to an electrical power
socket. Ensure that the wall socket is easily ac­cessible at all times.

• 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.

• Do not open the housing or attempt to repair the
device yourself. Should you do so, device safety
can no longer be assured and the warranty will
become void. Repairs are to be carried out ex­clusively by a specialist firm or the service centre.

Notice regarding separation from
mains-power

The STANDBY/ON switch for this device does NOT
completely separate it from the mains power
source. Additionally, the device consumes power
when in standby-mode. To completely separate
the device from mains power, the plug MUST be
removed from the power socket.

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not re­charge the batteries.

• Never open batteries, never solder or weld
batteries. The risk of explosions and injuries
exists!

• Regularly check the condition of the batteries.
Leaking batteries can cause damage to the
device.

• If you do not intend to use the device for an
extended period, remove the batteries.

• In the event of the batteries leaking acids, wear
protective gloves when removing the batteries.

• Clean the battery compartment and the battery
contacts with a dry cloth.

To avoid the risks of fire or injury:

• Do not place candles or other open fire sources

on the device.

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of hot surfaces.

• Do not place the device in locations exposed to

direct sunlight. If you do, it may overheat and be­come irreparably damaged.

• To prevent heat build up, place the device at a

location with adequate ventilation .

• Never cover the ventilation openings!

• Avoid any additional heat build up, e.g. direct

sunlight, heaters, other devices, etc.

• Keep children away from the connecting cable and

the device. Children frequently underestimate the
dangers of electrical devices.

• Provide for a safe location for the device.

If a battery is swallowed immediately seek medical
assistance.

Thunderstorm warning!

Before a storm and/or a thunderstorm with a risk
of lightning, please separate the device from the
electrical power source!

Notice regarding electrical power
surges (EFT / electrical fast transient)
and electrostatic discharges:

This device is equipped with non-slip rubber pads.
As furniture surfaces may be made of a variety
of materials and are treated with many different
types of cleaning agents, it cannot be completely
ruled out that some substances contain ingre­dients which may corrode the rubber rests and
soften them. If possible place an anti-slip materi­al under the pads of the device.

Commissioning

Unpacking the device

• Remove all packaging material.

Attention!

Do not permit small children to play with plastic
packaging. There is a risk of suffocation!

Check the items supplied

Whilst unpacking, check that all of the following
items are available to you:

- Compact radio

Placement

• Place the radio on a level and horizontal surface.

Inserting the back-up batteries

With back-up batteries fitted, the adjusted timings
will not be lost in the event of a power failure.
For this, you require two 1.5V batteries of the type
Micro AAA/R03 (not supplied).

1. Open the flap of the battery compartment on the
rear of the radio.

2. Insert the batteries. Make sure the polarities are

correct.

3. Replace the flap of the battery compartment.
The flap must audibly engage.

Note:

When the device is separated from mains power
the time is not displayed, however, the internal
clock continues to run.

Antenna

The swivelling telescope aerial on the device is
effective in the FM transmission range.

• Completely withdraw and extend the aerial
and then adjust it into the position for the best
possible reception.

The telescope aerial does not function in the MW
transmission range. In these ranges, reception is
made by the built-in ferrite aerial.

• Position the device for the best possible recep­tion.

Additional audio device

You can connect additional audio devices to the
radio, for example, an MP3 player, for playback
through the radio.

• Connect the stereo jackplug of the audio device

with the socket AUX on the rear of the device.

Power supply

• When all of the required connections have been

made, insert the plug on the power cable into
a wall power socket. The device is now in stand­by and the time is shown in the display.
