Automatic clock setting
When you plug in your clock radio or instal the backup battery for the first time it will receive and synchronise to the official UK standard time
signal transmitter (MSF) located at Rugby in the U.K. Your clock radio will automatically switch from summer to winter time and vice versa by
following the radio time signal.
At certain times of the year the MSF transmitter closes down for maintenance. During this time the clock will not automatically
set. Recorded information on transmitter status can be obtained on 020 8943 6493.
At all other times if the transmitter closes down the clock will continue to run on its own internal time memory.
Power on
1. Place the unit on a flat surface. Plug the mains lead into a wall
socket and switch on. The clock face will illuminate.
2. The built in microprocessor will automatically activate the Radio
Controlled clock to set the hour and minute hands to the 04:00,
08:00 or 12:00 o'clock reception mode position and initiate a search
for the time signal.
3. When the time setting process has been completed (2-4 minutes),
the hour and minute hands will move to show the exact time.
4. If the time does not set it may be necessary to rotate
your clock radio to a position giving better reception of
the MSF signal.
5. It is recommended that your clock radio is placed as far away as
possible from any sources of interference such as computers or
televisions, etc.
6. To repeat the automatic time set process, unplug the mains lead
from the wall socket, remove the backup battery if fitted, wait 2
minutes, then repeat the above power on procedure.
In the event of a mains power failure with no backup battery
fitted, your clock radio will automatically synchronise
with the MSF time signal and reset the clock when the
mains power is restored.

General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. It is
recommended that the FM band be used wherever possible as
better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will
usually be obtained than on the MW or LW bands.
Mains supply
Your CR2001 will operate from a supply of AC 230volts, 50Hz
only.
For your convenience this product is supplied with a plug which is
fitted with a fuse of the appropriate rating. If the plug supplied is not
suitable for your socket outlet, it should be removed by unscrewing
the plug top, the terminal screws, and removing the cable.
The correct style of plug to suit your household together with a
correctly rated fuse should be fitted.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSUL T A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any connection to the larger terminal
which is marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol
or coloured Green or Green-and-yellow.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following codes :-
BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:-
The wire coloured
BLUE must be
connected to the
terminal marked N or
coloured BLACK.
The wire coloured
BROWN must be
connected to the
terminal marked L or
coloured RED.
Fuse
This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A
plug (BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be
fitted in the plug, adaptor or distribution board.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Back-up Battery (not necessary for the unit to function)
Slide the battery cover catch in the direction of the arrow. Remove
the battery cover. Fit 2 x LR06 (AA size) or equivalent batteries into
the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
The time and alarm settings will be retained during a temporary
failure of the AC mains supply. The clock face and dial scale
illumination will be extinguished to conserve battery life, but the
memory will retain details of the time and alarm time settings.
If your clock radio is not to be used for a prolonged period of time,
remove the battery to avoid damage by battery leakage.
