In order to avoid the device being switched on unintentionally, remove  
the adapter from the mains socket after each use and before cleaning.  
Check the device and all parts for visible damage. The device’s safety  
concept can only work if the device is in perfect condition.  
A mains adapter connected to the device must always be easily  
accessible so that the device can be quickly disconnected from the  
mains power in an emergency.  
 
- 5 -  
Risk of electric shock!  
Connect the mains-power adapter only to correctly installed and  
earthed mains sockets. Ensure that the rating of the local power  
supply tallies completely with the details given on the rating plate of  
the appliance.  
Damaged adapters or mains cables should be exchanged immediately  
by an authorised technician or the Customer Service in order to  
avoid risks.  
Connection cables or devices that do not work perfectly or have been  
damaged should be repaired or exchanged immediately by Customer  
Services.  
Never immerse the device in water! Simply wipe it with a slightly  
damp cloth.  
Do not expose the wall wart to rain or use it in a damp or wet  
environment.  
Ensure that the connection cable is never wet or damp when in use.  
You must not open or repair the device’s housing. This can be dangerous  
and renders the warranty null and void.

Thunder storms!  
Devices connected to mains power can be damaged during a thunder  
storm. If there is a thunder storm, always remove the mains plug from  
the socket.  
Information on voltage surges (EFT/electrical fast  
transient) and electrostatic discharges:  
If the product does not work properly due to electrical fast transient  
processes (voltage surges) or electrostatic discharge, it must be  
reset to restore normal operation. If necessary, remove the plug from  
the power socket and insert it again. The batteries (if used) must be  
removed and reinserted.  
Information on separating the device from  
mains power  
The POWER button on this device does not completely separate it from  
the mains network. In addition, the device uses power when in standby  
mode. In order to completely separate the device from the mains supply  
the plug must be removed from the mains socket.

The UP and DOWN buttons can now be used to set the desired frequency.  
If you keep UP or DOWN pressed for about three seconds, the automatic  
station search will start.  
The search stops as soon as a station with sufficient signal strength is  
found.  
Setting the MW band  
Since the radio transmitter systems differ from one country to another,  
you should make the appropriate setting via the reception range setting:  
With the radio switched off, press the button MODE six times and then  
select, using the buttons UP resp. DOWN, the appropriate reception range  
as per the following table:  
 
- 25 -  
Region Channel  
spacing  
Band range  
Amerika 10 kHz  
520-1710 kHz  
522-1656 kHz  
Europa 9 kHz  
Fine tuning  
If a station can not be found precisely the fine tuning can be use to improve  
reception.  
During the channel search press the FINE button, the screen shows  
FINE.  
Now, using the buttons UP resp. DOWN, adjust the required reception  
range with smaller frequency steps.  
By pressing the FINE again you leave the fine tuning function again.  
This function is not available for the LW frequency range.  
Aerial  
The rotatable telescopic aerial on the radio can be used for the FM and  
SW bands.  
Pull the aerial out fully and arrange it for optimum reception.  
The SW SEN. switch on the left side of the device can be used to improve the  
reception quality for the SW band. Select LX for strong stations and DX to  
improve reception for weak stations.  
The telescopic aerial does not work in the MW and LW bands. In these  
bands, the radio uses its built-in ferrite aerial.  
Align the radio for best reception.
