Automatic Tuning System (ATS)
1. Place your radio on a flat surface and connect the mains plug to a wall
socket and switch on the wall socket.
When connected to power for the first time or if power is restored after
temporary loss the clock hands will set to the 12:00 o'clock position.
Automatic tuning system (ATS) will commence. Your clock radio will
start searching the FM band followed by MW and finally the LW band.
ATS will search and store stations in presets based on signal strength
order - up to 7 stations will be stored on FM, 7 on MW and 7 on LW.
Automatic clock setting
1. After ATS completes your clock radio will display
indicator will flash in the display.
2. After approximately 3 minutes your clock radio will synchronise to the
official UK standard time signal transmitter (MSF) located at Rugby
in the U.K. The MSF indicator will stop flashing and the
correct time and date will appear in the LCD display.
The analogue clock movement will automatically move the hands to
the correct position. Once synchronised to the radio time signal
the LCD and analogue clock will automatically switch from
summer to winter time and vice versa.
3. If the MSF indicator continues to flash try to re-position your
clock radio so as to improve reception of the radio time signal. (See
also section headed Troubleshooting on page 21)
4. If the two clock displays fail to set automatically due to local interference it may be necessary to set the clock manually - see section
headed Manual setting of the clock displays.

Troubleshooting
1. If the time does not set automatically it may be necessary to rotate
your clock radio to a position giving better reception of the MSF
signal.
2. 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.
3. To re-synchronise with the MSF time signal, press and hold down the
time button until your clock radio beeps. The MSF indicator
will flash whilst synchronisation takes place. Synchronisation is
complete when the MSF indicator stops flashing.
At certain times of the year the MSF transmitter closes down for
maintenance. During this time the clock will not automatically set
(see the section headed Manual setting of the clock displays).
Recorded information on MSF transmitter status can be obtained on
020 8943 6493.

General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or
splashing). 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
The CR2003 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 - CONSULT 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.
