General

Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. Do not leave the unit where excessive heat could cause damage. It is recommended that the FM band be used wherever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the MW and LW bands.

Mains supply

The CR980 will operate from a supply of AC 230 volts, 50Hz only.

For your convenience this product is supplied with a plug which is fitted with a fuse of the appropriate rating. If the plug supplied is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be removed by unscrewing the plug top, the terminal screws, and removing the cable.

The correct style of plug to suit your household together with a correctly rated fuse should be fitted.

IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured RED.

Fuse

This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug (BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be fitted in the plug, adaptor or distribution board.

Aerials

The wire aerial located on the rear of the CR980 is for FM reception. The wire should be fully extended and positioned for optimum reception
