Power supply Radio reception
MAINS SUPPLY
Check if the mains voltage as shown on the
type platefet the base of the set) corresponds
to your local mains supply. If it does not,
consult your dealer or service organisation.
If the set is equipped with a VOLTAGE
SELECTOR® (at the rear of the set), set this
selector to the local mains voltage.
Connect the mains lead to the AC MAINS
socket ® (at the rear of the set) and the wall
socket.
The mains supply is now switched on.
To disconnect the set from the mains
completely, withdraw the mains plug from the
wall socket.
9/10 kHz SELECTOR
BATTERIES
• Open the battery compartment and insert 4
batteries type R20, UM1 or D-cells.
• Remove the batteries:
- when they are exhausted;
- if they are not going to be used for a long
period of time;
- when the battery indicator ¡z) starts
flashing.
Note:
When the set is connected to the mains, the
battery supply is switched off automatically.
Warning for weak batteries
When the batteries run low, the radio will
show the time display. Pressing POWER ® or
SLEEP ® will turn on the radio for a short
period of time before it automatically turns off
again. The period will get shorter as the
batteries run lower.
Continued operation with low batteries causes
malfunctioning and losing programmed time
settings and preset radio stations. In this case,
remove the batteries, press the RESET button
@ in the battery compartment briefly and
insert fresh batteries.
Readjust the timer setting and the preset radio
stations.
POWER FAILURE__________________________
- If the power supply is interrupted, the battery
indicator
0
starts flashing.
- The programmed time settings and preset radio
stations will be kept in the memory for
2
min.
- If the AC power is interrupted, the batteries (if
present) will take over the supply. In this case
all settings will be kept in the memory.
The minimum 'frequency distance' (span division)
between adjacent radio stations (measured in
kHz) is standardized all over the world.
However, North and South America use another
standard than the rest of the world.
This means that the radio should use a tuning
step according to the standard concerned in order
to obtain accurate radio tuning.
The 9/10 kHz switch (g) in the battery
compartment allows accurate tuning for both
standards and has a double function.
Position 10 kHz for the Americas
- AM tuning step 10 kHz;
- EM tuning step 100 kHz;
Position 9 kHz for the the rest of the world
- AM tuning step 9 kHz;
- FM tuning step 50 kHz;

AERIALS___________________________ _
- For FM reception e:
fully.
To improve the reception you can incline and
rotate the aerial. If the FM signal received is too
strong (in the direct vicinity of the transmitter)
you can retract the aerial.
- For the medium wave (AM/MW), and long
wave (LW) the set has a built-in aerial, so the
telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct
the aerial by turning the set itself.
