Headphones  
A Headphone Socket (3.5mm located on left side) is provided for use  
with either headphones or an earpiece. Inserting a plug automatically  
mutes the internal loudspeakers.  
Backup battery  
As with all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be  
replaced.  
A number of factors, such as the length of time between the date your  
clock radio was manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first  
time, determine the amount of time before replacement.  
During this initial storage period the lithium backup battery is supplying  
power to your CD clock radios computer memory.  
Once you connect your CD clock radio to the household AC mains supply  
the battery no longer supplies power to your clock radio.  
A fresh backup battery can supply power to your CD clock radio’s  
computer memory for 2 years even if it is never connected to a mains  
supply.  
If your CD clock radio was connected to the AC mains supply within a  
few months after it was manufactured and you experience only short  
interruptions to the mains supply, your battery may last for up to 2-3  
years or even longer.  
When the power drops below a certain level the Low battery indicator  
will light. When you see this indicator you should change the battery as  
soon as it is convenient to do so.  
See following page for details on battery replacement.

Fuse  
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. 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 band.  
This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug  
(BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be fitted in  
the plug, adaptor or distribution board.

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.  
IFINDOUBT-CONSULTAQUALIFIEDELECTRICIAN
