Using the clock radio for the fi rst time

Your clock radio is supplied with a Mains Adaptor.

1.  Place your clock radio on a fl at surface. 

2.  Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the rear of your 

clock radio.

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

wire should be fully extended and positioned for optimum reception.

 

4.  Plug the adaptor into a standard 13 amp mains socket outlet.

5.  When your clock radio is fi rst switched on the display will show "Setting  

Clock" and a station search will be performed automatically.

6.  When stations have been found, the clock information will appear 

on the display. When the unit is in standby mode you can press the 
display button to toggle between showing the time only or showing 
both the date and time.

7.  If no stations have been found "clock not set..." will be displayed. It 

may then be necessary to relocate your clock radio to a position giving 
better reception. You should then carry out an autoscan to fi nd stations 
as described on page 8.
