Electrical requirements

Check the voltage on the rating plate of your clock radio corresponds with your house electricity supply which must be A.C. (alternating current).

If the socket outlets in your home are not suitable for the plug supplied with this appliance the plug should be removed and the appropriate one fitted.

IMPORTANT : THE PLUG IF SEVERED FROM THE MAINS LEAD MUST BE DESTROYED AS A PLUG WITH A BARED FLEXIBLE CORD IS HAZARDOUS IF ENGAGED INTO A LIVE SOCKET OUTLET.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug require changing a 3 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

Battery back-up facility (unit will work without a battery being fitted) Your cd clock radio is equipped with a battery back-up facility.

1Remove the battery compartment cover (underneath the unit) by pushing in the clip and lifting off.

2Insert a battery size 9 volts PP3/6LR61 (Ensure battery is inserted correctly).

3Replace the battery compartment cover.

Should a power interruption occur the clock will continue to run, however, time keeping will not be accurate. The time will be displayed but the backlight will be extinguished to conserve battery life. The memory will retain details of the clock time and alarm settings.

If the optional battery is not installed in case of the AC power failure the clock will flash at 12:00 when power is restored. You will need to reset the clock and alarm settings.

Battery back-up is designed to operate for a short period only.

If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, remove the battery to avoid battery leakage.

In the interests of environmental safety : dispose of batteries safely.
