General

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 CR9961 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.

Back-up Battery (not necessary for the unit to function)

Slide the battery cover catch in the direction of the arrow. Open the
battery cover. Fit a 9 volt IEC size 6F22/06PP (6LR61, PP3) or equivalent
battery into the compartment. Observe the correct polarity as shown
inside the battery 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, but the memory will
retain details of the time and alarm time settings.

If your clock radio is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove
the battery to avoid damage by battery leakage.

The Nameplate is located
