Battery replacement
The battery indicator will appear in the display
immediately your radio is switched off. Batteries
should be replaced when the indicator shows less than
3. After removing batteries you have approximately 3
minutes to replace the batteries after which clock and
memory information will be lost.
When the low battery indicator appears in
display replace batteries immediately.
Setting the clock automatically
The clock time can be set automatically when
receiving an RDS station that transmits clock time
(CT). The CT information is transmitted once every
minute. If the station has sufficient signal strength the
clock will set within one or two minutes.
1. Switch on the radio with the Power button.
2. Select the FM waveband by repeat pressing of
the Waveband button.
3. Fully extend the Telescopic aerial.

4. Press and hold down the Tuning up or down
buttons until the frequency in the display begins
to change rapidly, release the button.
5. The radio will now start to search the FM waveband
and will stop when it finds a station of sufficient
strength. If the station is of sufficient strength the
symbol will light up in the liquid crystal
display.
6. Slide the Clock auto adjust switch to the ‘On’
position.
7. The time segments --:-- will flash in the liquid crystal
display indicating that the radio is waiting for the
RDS time signal. When the time is set the display
will show the time. If the clock does not set within
three to four minutes, the radio station may not be
transmitting clock time (CT) information - try another
radio station.
8. When your radio is switched off the
symbol will remain lit indicating that the time has
been set via the RDS signal.
