General
Fuse
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or
splashing) or to temperatures exceeding 70 degrees centigrade. 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/LW bands.
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.
IFINDOUBT-CONSULTAQUALIFIEDELECTRICIAN.
Back-up Battery (not necessary for the unit to function)
Mains supply
Slide the battery cover catch in the direction of the arrow. Open the
battery cover. Fit a 9 volt IEC size 6LR61 (6F22, PP3) or equivalent battery
into the compartment. Observe the correct polarity as shown inside the
battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
The CR9986 will operate from a supply of AC 230volts, 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 time and alarm settings will be retained during a temporary failure
of the AC mains supply. The LED display will not be operational. The
display will be extinguished to conserve battery life, but the memory will
retain details of the time and alarm time settings.
The correct style of plug to suit your household together with a correctly
rated fuse should be fitted.
IFINDOUBT-CONSULTAQUALIFIEDELECTRICIAN
If your clock radio is not to be used for a prolonged period of time, remove
the battery to avoid damage by battery leakage.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT make any connection to the larger terminal which
is marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol
Green or Green-and-yellow.
or coloured
The Nameplate is located
on the underside of your
CD clock radio.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following codes :-
BLUE - NEUTRAL

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying 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.
