General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. Do not leave the
unit where excessive heat could cause damage. It is recommended that
the FM band be used wherever possible as better results in terms of
quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the
MW and LW bands.
Mains supply
The CR980 will operate from a supply of AC 230 volts, 50Hz
only.
For your convenience this product is supplied with a plug which is fitted
with a fuse of the appropriate rating. If the plug supplied is not suitable for
your socket outlet, it should be removed by unscrewing the plug top, the
terminal screws, and removing the cable.
The correct style of plug to suit your household together with a correctly
rated fuse should be fitted.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN

make any connection to the larger terminal which
is marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol
or coloured

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identi-
fying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked N or
coloured BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked L
or coloured RED.

supply. The LED display will not be operational. The battery is not
necessary for the unit to function.
Aerials
The wire aerial located on the rear of the CR980 is for FM reception. The
wire should be fully extended and positioned for optimum reception
There is a built in ferrite aerial for MW and LW stations. Rotate the CR980
to the position giving best reception.
