Using the clock radio for the 

fi

 rst time

1.  Place your clock radio on a 

fl

 at surface. 

2.  Fully extend the wire aerial located on the rear of your clock radio. 

Place the wire antenna so that it is as straight as possible extending 
either above or below the radio.

 
3.  Plug the mains lead into a standard 13 amp mains socket outlet. The 

display will show 

'ROBERTS'

 for a few seconds and will then show 

'SET CLOCK'

. During this time the radio is scanning to 

fi

 nd a DAB 

radio signal. After a short time the current time and day will appear 
on the display. 

4.  If no signal is  found, 

'NO CLOCK'

 will be displayed. It may be necessary 

to relocate your clock radio to a position giving better reception. You 
should then carry out a scan to 

fi

 nd stations as described on page 9.

IMPORTANT:  

The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the 

clock radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the clock radio 
must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the clock 
radio from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from 
the mains socket outlet completely.

Characters appearing on the LCD display indicate that the clock radio is 
connected to and powered from the mains supply.
