All unnecessary packaging material has been omitted to make the packaging easy to separate into two materials: paper (box and paper pulp), polyethylene (bags, protective foam).

Your set consists of materials, which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations to dispose of packing materials, dead batteries and old equipment.

POWER SUPPLY

Check if the power supply, as shown on the type plate on the bottom of the set, corresponds to your local power supply.

Connect the power plug into the wall outlet. The power supply is now switched on and the numbers on the display will start to flash. You will need to set the correct time.

POWER BREAKDOWN BACKUP

When a power failure occurs the complete clock radio will be switched off. When the power supply returns, the numbers on the display will start to flash and you will need to reset the correct time on the clock.

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

Insert the battery into the battery compartment.

Connect the power plug to the wall outlet.

• Replace the battery once a year, or as often as necessary.
