2. Set your slumber time by pressing on the

SLUMBER button. Keep your finger on the

time has elapsed:
– To cancel the SLUMBER function, press

OFF

/REPEAT ALARM.

Notes:

– The slumber function does not affect the alarm

setting (s).

– If during SLUMBER you have turned down the

volume and you have an alarm set in radio
mode, make sure you have adjusted the volume
loud enough to wake you up the next day.

SLUMBER

MAINTENANCE

– If you do not intend to use the clock radio for a

long time, disconnect the set by removing the
plug from the wall outlet. The battery should
also be removed to prevent chemical leakage
which will damage your set.

– To clean your set from fingerprints, dust and

dirt, use a clean and soft damp cloth or chamois
leather. Do not use cleaning products which
contain benzene, thinner etc. as these may
harm the housing.

POWER BREAKDOWN BACKUP

– When a power failure occurs, the complete

clock radio will be switched off.

– As soon as the power supply returns, the

numbers on the display will start to flash. This
indicates that you must set the correct time on
the clock.

– To retain the clock time and the set alarm time

(s) in the event of a power failure or
disconnection, insert a 9 volt battery, type 6F22
(not supplied) into the battery compartment: this
will act as a power back up. However, the time
will not be illuminated on the clock display.
Operation of the alarm (s) and FM/AM radio are
also excluded.
For clarity, the battery back up is used to retain
the set clock and alarm time (s) only.
As soon as the power supply returns, the
display will indicate the correct time.

• Before inserting the battery, connect the power
plug to the wall outlet.

• Insert a battery into the battery compartment.

– Replace the battery once a year. It is not

possible to say precisely how long the battery
will last. The service life depends on how often
and for how long the power supply fails. This
varies according to country and region.

– The 2 buzzers are at a set volume and cannot

be adjusted. BUZ on ALARM 1 is a low tone
buzzer while BUZ on ALARM 2 is high tone.

Troubleshooting

– If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair.
– If you are unable to remedy a problem by following the hints below, consult your dealer or sevice

center.
