the clock/memory backup and must be fitted at all times.

Battery operation

1. Remove the Battery cover on the base of your CD clock radio by pressing the tab on the cover and lifting in the direction of the arrow. Insert 2 x LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Observe the correct battery polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.

Automatic Plug and Play setup

When your Clock Radio is first connected to the mains supply, or after a power failure (when backup battery is not installed), the Auto setup will proceed as follows:-

• Your radio will show "FM 87.5", then automatically search all wavebands and store stations in presets.

• Automatically set the time and day of week.

1. Connect to mains (see page 6). Your radio will scan through the FM waveband, storing stations of sufficient strength as presets.

Note: To interrupt the automatic tuning, press the Prog/Random button once.

2. Your radio is ready for use when the FM waveband has been fully searched.

After having performed the automatic memory set up process, the display will show a DEMO briefly introducing the RDS features.

3. The Clock Time (CT) indicator will flash in the display whilst time setting is carried out.

Note: To interrupt the automatic time set, or stop the DEMO mode, press any button once.

4. If the first station detected by the automatic setup does not carry CT information your radio will automatically change to another station after 1-2 minutes. This process will repeat until the clock is set.

5. Press the BAND button to switch on your radio and press the up and down buttons to select a preset station. Adjust the volume using the VOLUME control. To switch off your radio press the StandBy button.

Note:- Auto setup can take up to 5 minutes to complete and is dependent on the signal strength and number of stations in your area. Should Auto setup fail, setting the clock and pre-setting stations can be carried out manually as described in the following sections.

Setting the Clock Automatically

The clock time and day of week can be set automatically when recieving an RDS radio station that transmits clock time (CT). The CT information is transmitted once every minute. If the signal has sufficient signal strength the clock will set within one to two minutes.

1. Switch on the radio with the BAND button on the CD clock radio or the BAND button on the remote control.

2. Select an RDS station using the Tuning Up/Down buttons.

3. "CT" will flash in the LCD display indicating that the radio is waiting for an RDS time signal. The "CT" indicator will stop flashing when the time is set.

Note:- If the clock does not set within three to four minutes, the radio station may not be transmitting clock time (CT) information, in this case try another radio station.

The clock time and day of week are updated every time the radio is switched on and whilst listening to an RDS station transmitting clock time (CT) information.

Auto setup can take up to 5 minutes to complete and is dependent on the signal strength and number of stations in your area. Should Auto setup fail, setting the clock and pre-setting stations can be carried out manually as described in the following sections.
