adapter matches your local mains voltage.
• If the mains adapter is equipped with a voltage selector, set this
to the local voltage.
• Connect the mains adapter to the DC 4.5 V +<- socket of the
set and to the wall socket.

– If the power supply is interrupted, the programmed time settings
will be kept in the memory for 30 seconds.

batteries (if present) will take over the supply.
