General

Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. 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 CR9901 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:-

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 (not necessary for the unit to function)

Slide the battery cover catch in the direction of the arrow. Remove the battery
cover. Fit a 9 volt IEC size 6LR61 (6F22, 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 display will
be extinguished to conserve battery life.
