Release the 7 or 4 buttons when you have reached the correct setting. 4. To safeguard the clock time from being accidentally adjusted, turn the clock control to the CLOCK position.

Alarm
SETTING THE ALARM
General If you wish to use the alarm, then you should first set the alarm time.Two different alarm times are possible. This can be useful when, for example, you need to be awakened at a different time during the week and at the weekend. There is also the choice of two modes for waking you up: by buzzer or radio. The display also indicates whether you have switched on the alarm (s), and these indicators will light up respectively next to ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 on the display.

Sleep
SLEEP
The clock radio has a built-in timer device called the SLEEP, which enables the radio to be automatically switched off after a set period of time; this allows you to lie back, listen and fall asleep. The maximum sleep time is 59 minutes.

Additional
MAINTENANCE
� If you do not intend to use the clock radio for a long time, disconnect the set by removing the plug from the wall outlet. The battery should also be removed to prevent chemical leakage which will damage your set. � To clean your set from fingerprints, dust and dirt, use a clean and soft damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not use cleaning products which contain benzene, thinner etc. as these may harm the housing.
No sound

Troubleshooting
� If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair. � If you are unable to remedy a problem by following the hints below, consult your dealer or service center.

ALARM OFF
You can switch off the alarm in three ways: Unless you choose to cancel the alarm completely, the ALARM RESET option will be automatically selected after 59 minutes from the time your alarm first goes off. ALARM RESET If you want the alarm mode to be stopped immediately, but also wish to repeat the alarm call at the same time for the following day: � Press ALARM RESET during the alarm call. REPEAT ALARM This will repeat your alarm call at 9 minutes intervals � Press SLEEP OFF/REPEAT ALARM. � Press SLEEP OFF/REPEAT ALARM again during the next call if you wish to repeat the alarm call. � If, however, you do not press SLEEP OFF/REPEAT ALARM again, the alarm will sound for 59 minutes before turning itself off. Your alarm time setting will then automatically enter the ALARM RESET mode to sound at the same time next day. Switching off the alarm completely � Before or during the set alarm goes off, push the ALARM (1 or 2) switch to the OFF position. � The alarm indicator will disappear from the display.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this will invalidate
the warranty.
PROBLEM The alarm does not function

SLEEP ON
1. Set the RADIO switch to the OFF position. 2. Set your sleep time by pressing on the SLEEP button. Keep your finger on the button and the display will begin to count down from 59 to 00 minutes. 3. Release the button as soon as the required sleep time is reached.

� POSSIBLE CAUSE � REMEDY

� The alarm is not set � Set the alarm time and the alarm switch to BUZ or RAD. � Volume too low for radio. � Increase the volume.
The SLEEP does not function

FM/AM RADIO
1. If required, release the WEATHERBAND ON/OFF button to the off position. 2. Set the RADIO switch to ON. 3. Select your waveband using the BAND switch. 4. Use TUNING to find your radio station. 5. Adjust the sound with the VOLUME control. 6. To turn off the radio, set the RADIO switch to OFF. To improve radio reception � For AM, the set is provided with a built-in antenna which to function best should be placed on a non-metallic surface e.g. wood, plastic. Direct the AM antenna by adjusting the position of your clock radio. � For FM and Weatherband reception there is an antenna wire built-in into the power cord. You should adjust the power cord slightly to obtain optimum reception.

CLOCK MEMORY BACKUP
� When a power failure occurs, the complete clock radio will be switched off. � As soon as the power supply returns, the numbers on the display will start to flash. This indicates that you must set the correct time on the clock. � To retain the clock time and the set alarm time(s) in the event of a power failure or disconnection, insert a 9 volt battery, type 6F22 (not supplied) into the battery compartment: this will act as a clock memory back up. However, the time will not be illuminated on the clock display. Operation of the alarm (s), WEATHERBAND and FM/AM radio are also excluded. For clarity, the battery back up is used to retain the set clock and alarm time (s) only. As soon as the power supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time. � Before inserting the battery, connect the power plug to the wall outlet. � Insert a battery into the battery compartment. � Replace the battery once a year. It is not possible to say precisely how long the battery will last. The service life depends on how often and for how long the power supply fails. This varies according to country and region.

� Volume not adjusted. � Adjust the volume.
AM broadcast cannot be received properly

ALARM ON
1. Adjust the clock control to the SET ALARM 1 or SET ALARM 2 position. 2. Press and hold down the 4, 7 buttons to set and adjust both the hours and minutes. � With your finger held down on 7, the time will increase rapidly and continuously from minutes to hours. Release 7 when you reach the approximate time setting. � Pressing 4 will allow you to adjust the time slowly back minute by minute. 3. Release the 7 or 4 buttons when you have reached the correct setting. 4. Adjust the clock control to the CLOCK position to return to clock time display. � To review your set alarm time, adjust the clock control to the respective SET ALARM 1 or SET ALARM 2 position. 5. To select the alarm mode you wish to be awoken by, set the respective ALARM 1or ALARM 2 switch to RAD or BUZ. � If you have selected the radio mode, make sure you have adjusted the volume loud enough to wake you.

SLEEP OFF
You can switch off the radio before the sleep time has elapsed: � To cancel the SLEEP function, press SLEEP OFF/REPEAT ALARM. Notes: � The sleep function does not affect the alarm setting (s). � If during SLEEP you have turned down the volume and you have an alarm set in radio mode, make sure you have adjusted the volume loud enough to wake you up the next day.
