1. Slide the battery cover catch in the direction of the arrow. Open the
battery cover.
2. Fit six LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity
as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery
cover.
3. Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing. If your CD radio is not to be used
for a prolonged period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage
by battery leakage.
We would recommend for economy that your CD radio is used on
the mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional
or stand-by use only.
Mains operation
1. Place your CD radio on a flat surface.

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.

Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or
splashing) or to temperatures exceeding 70 degrees centigrade. 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/LW bands.
Mains supply
The CR9959 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.
