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 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.
Aerials
The wire aerial located on the rear of the CR980 is for FM reception. The
wire should be fully extended and positioned for optimum reception
There is a built in ferrite aerial for MW and LW stations. Rotate the CR980
to the position giving best reception.
Important
If an alarm time has not been set and the Function switch is left in the
'Auto' or 'Alarm' position, the alarm/radio will operate at 12.00 midnight.
If you do not require the alarm function, ensure that the Function switch
is correctly set to the 'Off' position. The display alarm indicators will be
switched off.

Quick on/off feature
The Sleep and Time/Alarm off button can be used together as a
convenient way to turn the radio on and off when it is required to operate
for a short period of less than one hour.
Alarm time
To display the alarm time, press the Alarm button. When you release the
button, the display reverts to real time. Use the Fast and Slow buttons
whilst holding down the Alarm button to set the desired AL1 or AL2 time.
Ensure the correct AM/PM setting is observed.
Note: The alarm time can only be set with the Alarm switch in the
AL1 or AL2 position. If the Alarm switch is set to AL1+2, then
pressing the Alarm button will only display the real time, not
alarm time.
Alarm Function
Your CR980 has both single or dual alarm functions and can be set to
operate at one of two preset times or both, as required. For example, you
might want one time for during the week and another for the weekend, or
two different times for the same day of the week.
Single alarm
If you require the alarm to operate once at a given time setting, set the
required alarm time as described above and position the Alarm switch to
either AL1 or AL2. Set the Function switch to 'Alarm' (for waking to the
alarm tone) or 'Auto' (for waking to the radio). The respective LED alarm
indicator will now be lit and the alarm/radio will operate at the set time.
You could now set the the second alarm function in the same way and
simply position the Alarm switch to AL1 on weekdays and AL2 on
weekends.
Note: Once the AL1 or AL2 has operated, press the Time/Alarm
off button once, the alarm/radio will sound again the next day
unless the Function switch is set to 'Off'.

6
If an alarm time has not been set and the Function switch is left in the
'Buzz' or 'Auto' position, the alarm/radio will operate at 12.00 midnight.
If you do not require the alarm function, ensure that the Function switch
is correctly set to the 'Off' position. The display alarm indicators will be
switched off.
Snooze Function
Alternatively, when the radio or buzzer alarms can be silenced for
approximately 7 minutes by pressing the Snooze button, after which time
the alarm will switch on again. This can be repeated within the 59 minute
alarm on time.
Note: If dual alarm has been chosen, the second wake function
will operate despite the use of the SNOOZE button.
Sleep Function
Your CR980 digital clock radio can be set to operate the radio and switch
off automatically after a preset period, adjustable up to 59 minutes. To set
the sleep function, switch the Function switch to 'Off, 'Auto' or 'Alarm'
depending on whether or not you require the alarm function the following
day.
Press the Sleep button briefly and observe that the display indicates the
preset time (59 minutes).
Hold the Sleep button depressed - the clock display will then automati-
cally count down from 59 minutes to one minute. Release the button when
the desired sleep time is displayed.
Set the Tuning and Volume controls as required.
To cancel the sleep function before the preset time has elapsed, press the
Time/Alarm off button once. The radio will switch off.
Auto Dimmer
The Auto Dimmer located on the top left side of the LED display will
automatically adjust the intensity of the clock display to suit room
brightness.
