Alarm 2 function switches are set to the 'Off' position.

the display.

4. Whilst holding down the Time Set button press the B.Skip button
to set the minutes and the F.Skip button to set the hour. Release

Compact discs

Use only Digital Audio CDs which have the symbol.

Never write on a CD or attach any sticker to the CD. Always hold the CD
at the edge and store it in its box after use with the label facing up.

To remove dust and dirt, breathe on the CD and wipe it with a soft, lint­free cloth in a straight line from the centre towards the edge.

Cleaning agents may damage the CD

Do not expose the CD to rain, moisture, sand, or to excessive heat. (e.g.
from heating equipment or in motor cars parked in the sun).

CD-R/CD-RW discs

Your CD clock radio can playback CD-DA format audio CD-R/CD-RW
discs that have been finalised* upon completion of recording.

Your CD clock radio may fail to playback some CD-R/CD-RW discs due
to poor recording of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.

*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio CD
players such as your CD clock radio.

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :­020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)
