INSTALLATION

POWER SUPPLY

Check if the mains supply, as shown on the type plate located on the bottom of the set, corresponds to your local mains supply. If it does not,

consult your dealer or service centre.

Connect the mains lead to the wall socket.

To disconnect the set from the mains supply completely, remove the plug from the wall socket.

CLOCK MEMORY BACKUP

The clock memory backup allows your alarm and clock time settings to be stored for up to a day when there is a power interruption e.g. mains failure. The complete clock radio and display illumination will be switched off. As soon as the mains supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.

Remove the battery door to insert a 9 volt 6F22 type battery (not included) for backup.

Replace the battery door.

NOTE:

If no backup battery is installed or the power interruption is prolonged, you will need to set the clock and alarm times again.

Batteries contain chemical substances so should be disposed of properly.

The type plate is located on the bottom of the set.
