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
Slide the battery cover catch (23) in the direction of the arrow. Remove the
battery cover. Fit a 9 volt IEC size 6F22 (6LR61, PP3) or equivalent battery
into the compartment. Replace the battery cover. The time and alarm
settings will be retained during a temporary failure of the AC mains supply.
The LED display will not be operational. The battery is not necessary for
the unit to function.
Setting the time
Press and hold down the time set button (22). Use the time adjust buttons
(18-21) to adjust the time to the required setting:
(18) S.FWD Clock time slow forward.
(19) F.FWD Clock time fast forward.
(20) F.REV Clock time fast reverse.
(21) S.REV Clock time slow reverse.
Release the time adjust button followed by the time set button when the
required time is reached.
Note:
The clock uses a 12 hour display with a PM indicator (5). Ensure that the
correct 12 hour cycle is selected.
Alarms
The CR960 has two alarms which can be set and activated independently.
Each alarm can be set to the HWS (Humane Wake System) buzzer or radio
alarm.
e.g. Alarm 1 could be set to HWS buzzer for 8:00 AM, Alarm 2 set to Radio
for 8:30 AM.

is heard. Rotate the tuning control (10) until the desired station is received.
If the station being received is in 'Stereo' the stereo indicator (7) will
illuminate. Adjust the volume control (11) to the required sound level.
If the FM signal becomes weak or is accompanied by a high level of
background hiss, you may select 'MONO' mode by setting the waveband
selector (16) to the "FM" position. To switch off the radio, press the Off
button (12).
Radio Operation (MW)
Press the radio on button (14) to turn on the radio. The LED dial pointer (6)
located in the tuning scale will light. Set the waveband selector (16) to the
"MW" position. Adjust the volume control (11) until a hissing sound is
heard. Rotate the tuning control (10) until the desired station is received.
Adjust the volume control (11) to the required sound level. To switch off the
radio, press the Off button (12).
Wake Up to HWS Buzzer
The HWS (Humane Wake System) alarm is a buzzer which starts softly
and gradually increases in volume.
Set the alarm time as previously described. Set the alarm 1 (9) or alarm 2
(8) function selector to the HWS position. The corresponding alarm 1 (2)
or alarm 2 (1) indicator will light.
The HWS alarm will sound every day at the preset time for 60 minutes. To
turn off the alarm until the next day press the Off button (12).
To make a distinction between alarm 1 and alarm 2 the HWS alarm signals
have a different sound pitch:
Alarm 1 = lower pitch HWS alarm signal
Alarm 2 = higher pitch HWS alarm signal
Note:
If the alarm is not required, set the alarm 1 or alarm 2 function switch to the
Off position. The alarm indicator will disappear.

Auto Dimmer
The Auto Dimmer (3) will automatically adjust the intensity of the clock
display to suit room brightness.
Battery Back-up facility
The purpose of this battery is only to store information relating to the alarm
times and to keep the clock functioning in case of disconnection from the
mains supply or power interruption. Should this occur the clock will
continue to run. The time and alarm settings will be retained but the LED
display will not be operational .
