The setting has no effect on the volume of the buzzer
for the alarm clock function. The buzzer volume is
always the same.
Automatic station scan with auto store function
To receive radio stations, it is necessary for the
supplied earphones (B) to be connected to the
earphone jack. The earphone cable serves as a
receiving aerial.
The most convenient way to search for stations and save them is
the automatic station scan with automatic saving of stations (auto
store function).
Switch on the scan radio with the "On/Standby" button (6).
Press the "MODE" button (3) for approx. 2 seconds to start the
automatic station scan. The automatic station scan always
starts at the lowest frequency (87.5MHz).
The scan radio now searches the entire frequency range for
stations with strong signals. "SCAN" (14) flashes on the
display (1). The "FM" symbol (11) lights up and goes out
briefly once a station has been found and the station preset
that was used is shown. "PRESET" (22) is displayed
permanently after the first station found has been saved.
The first 20 stations found are stored directly in the presets 01
to 20 and saved. If all station presets are occupied, the scan is
cancelled and the preset station "01" is played.
The scan can be cancelled at any time by pressing any button.
SilverCrest SSRM 10 A1

Press the "MODE" button (3). The "FM" symbol (11) flashes on
the display.
Press the "-" button (2) or "+" button (4) for approx. 2 seconds
to start the manual station scan downwards or upwards. As
soon as the device finds a station with a strong signal, the scan
stops and the station is played.
If you want to switch to another station, press the "-" button (2)
or "+" button (4) again for approx. 2 seconds to restart the
manual station scan downwards or upwards. The device
searches for the next station with a strong signal.
To exit scan mode, press the "MODE" button (3) again. The
"FM" symbol (11) now lights up again permanently.
Manual station tuning
As an alternative to the automatic or manual station scan, you
can also tune in stations manually. This enables you to find
stations with weaker signals also. Proceed as follows:
Switch on the scan radio with the "On/Standby" button (6).
Press the "MODE" button (3). The "FM" symbol (11) flashes on
the display.
Briefly press the "-" button (2) or "+" button (4).
SilverCrest SSRM 10 A1

You thus move 0.1MHz downwards or upwards in the
frequency band each time you press the "-" button (2) or "+"
button (4) respectively.
Proceed in this manner until you find the desired station.
Press the "MODE" button (3) to return to volume mode. The
"FM" symbol (11) is displayed permanently on the display.
Manually saving stations
You have the option of saving 20 stations or frequencies.
Proceed as follows:
Press the "MODE" button (3). The "FM" symbol (11) flashes on
the display.
Search for a station which you want to save.

display (1) reverts to the frequency display, the station is saved
in the selected preset.
Please note that already occupied presets are
overwritten.
Press the "MODE" button (3) to return to volume mode. The
"FM" symbol (11) is displayed permanently on the display.

Select saved stations
To select a previously saved station, briefly press the
"MEM/AL" button (7) and use the "-" button (2) or "+" button
(4) to select a preset between 01 and 20.
After approx. 3 seconds, the station that is saved in the
selected preset is played automatically.
Preset stations are lost when batteries are changed.
SLEEP timer
With the SLEEP timer, you can set a time between 10 and 90
minutes after which your scan radio automatically switches off.
The setting is made in intervals of 10 minutes. Proceed as follows:
Switch off the scan radio with the "On/Standby" button (6).
Keep the "On/Standby" button (6) pressed until the display
(1) indicates the number 90 (for 90 minutes).
Then press the "On/Standby" button (6) repeatedly until you
reach the desired number of minutes (for example, 40). Each
time you press the "On/Standby" button (6), the number of
minutes to switching off is reduced by 10 minutes.
The scan radio then switches itself on and, after the previously
selected minutes (for example, 40), it switches itself off
automatically.
The display (1) indicates "SLEEP" (20) when the SLEEP timer is
activated.
SilverCrest SSRM 10 A1
20 - English
You can start the station scan or access saved stations even
when the SLEEP timer is activated.
You can delete the activated SLEEP timer by switching off the
scan radio.
Setting the alarm time (Alarm 1 / Alarm 2)
You can set 2 alarm times. Make sure that the time is set
correctly. You can set the alarm time only when the device is
switched off. Switch off the device with the "On/Standby" button
(6) if it is switched on.
Briefly press the "MEM/AL" button (7). The display (1)
indicates the "Alarm 1" symbol (12), and when you briefly
press the "MEM/AL" button (7) again, the display (1) indicates
the "Alarm 2" symbol (13).
Select Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 and briefly press the "MODE"
button (3).
The hour display flashes and you can then set it by pressing
the "-" button (2) or "+" button (4). Then press the "MODE"
button (3) again. The minute display then flashes and you can
set it by pressing the "-" button (2) or "+" button (4).
Finally, press the "MODE" button (3) again. The display (1)
then indicates the current time and the alarm you just set is
active. This is indicated by the respective alarm symbol
(12,13) on the display (1).
Proceed in the same manner to set the second alarm.
SilverCrest SSRM 10 A1
English - 21
Activating / deactivating the alarm function
When you have set the desired alarm time, you can activate the
alarm function as follows:
Briefly press the "MEM/AL" button (7) repeatedly when the
device is switched off until the desired alarm symbol (12,13) is
indicated with the corresponding alarm time on the display (1).
Both alarm times can also be activated together.
To deactivate the alarm function, briefly press the "MEM/AL"
button (7) until no alarm symbol (12,13) is indicated on the
display (1). The alarm function is then deactivated.
The device wakes you at the set alarm time with a signal tone.
The alarm tone then sounds for approx. 60 seconds, followed
by a snooze period of approx. 60 seconds. On the display
(1), the corresponding alarm symbol (12,13) flashes during
the snooze period. This sequence is repeated until the alarm
tone is switched off. To switch off the alarm tone, briefly press
the "On/Standby" button (6). The alarm is then deactivated
until the next day.
Please note that the signal tone is played via the built-
in buzzer of the scan radio and not via the
earphones.
SNOOZE function
To pause the alarm tone for approx. 5 minutes, briefly press
the "MODE" button (3) during the signal tone. During these 5
minutes, the corresponding alarm symbol (12,13) flashes on
the display (1) and the "SNOOZE" symbol (15) is indicated.
SilverCrest SSRM 10 A1
22 - English
After approx. 5 minutes, the alarm tone starts again. To switch
off the alarm tone, briefly press the "On/Standby" button (6).
