OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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).
For clock radios with a fitted plug.
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.
IMP0RTANT : THE PLUG REMOVED FROM THE MAINS LEAD, IF SEVERED,
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 alarm clock radio is equipped with a battery back-up facility.
1 Remove the battery compartment cover (located underneath the unit) by
pushing in the clip and lifting off.
2 Insert a battery size 9 volts PP3/6LR61 (Ensure batteries are inserted correctly)
3 Replace the battery compartment cover.
Should a power interruption occur the clock will continue to run, however, time
keeping will not be accurate. The display will be extinguished to conserve battery
life but 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 display
will blink to indicate the power was interrupted. You will need to reset the clock
and alarm.
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.
