Electrical requirements

Check that 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 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.

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 mains plug require changing a 3 amp BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

Battery back-up facility

Your alarm clock radio is equipped with a battery back-up facility.
Your alarm clock radio will operate without a 9 volt battery fitted.

Remove the battery compartment cover (located underneath the unit) by pressing the tab down and pulling the battery cover off.
Insert a battery size 9 volts PP3/6LR61. Ensure batteries are positioned correctly. (Correct polarity is marked inside the battery compartment).
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.
