Installing the batteries

4 x 1.5V, LR6 (AA size) type batteries are required.

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of your receiver by pressing the marking and opening the lid.

2. Insert the batteries into the compartment. Make sure the (+) and (-) ends of the batteries are positioned as shown on the rear of the receiver.

3. Close the battery compartment cover.

Note: When the batteries are low, the battery level icon flashes in the display. Each time the radio is switched off the battery charge indicator appears for seven seconds. If the charge level falls below 2 the batteries must be changed. If the batteries are not replaced within 3 minutes all stored settings will be lost.

Remove the batteries if the reciever is not going to be used for an extended period of time. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from used batteries.

Environmental note: Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner.

Switching on and setting the clock

Before setting the clock make sure that the local time zone is known. There are 24 time zones based on a standard time zone called the UTC (Universal Time Co-ordinated), previously known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), as shown in the diagram on the back of the receiver.

Two different local times can be set, local time '1' and local time '2'.

Setting local time 1

When the receiver is first switched on the display indicates that the clock has to be set. The digital display will show '0:00' and the local time '1' symbol will be shown.

Note: If you are operating the receiver in the 12-hour format, AM and PM can be set by pressing the Memo AM/PM button.

1. Place the receiver on a flat surface. Make sure that the batteries have been inserted correctly, or if using mains power, plug the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on at the wall socket.

2. Press down and hold the Freq./Clock button until the display indicates the time can be set. The digital display will show '-:--' and the local time '1' symbol will flash.

Note: If the radio is switched on, press the Display button to switch the display to the clock.

3. Enter the time using the numerical buttons '1 ..... 0' in the correct

sequence.

Note: If the digits are entered incorrectly, a signal sounds and 'Err' flashes briefly in the display. The time will have to be entered again.

4. Press the Freq./Clock button to confirm the entry.

Setting local time 2

1. Press the SW Page Clock 1/2 button. The display flashes for local time '2'.

2. To set the display to local time '2' press the Freq./Clock button.

3. Press down and hold the Freq./Clock button until the display indicates the time can be set. The digital display will show '-:--' and the local time '2' symbol will flash.

4. Enter the time using the numerical buttons '1 ..... 0' in the correct

sequence.
