SETTING THE ALARM
General If you wish to use the alarm, then you should first set the alarm time. There is a choice of two modes for waking you up: by buzzer or radio. The display also indicates whether you have switched on the alarm, shown as a dot next to ALARM in the display.

Slumbering
SLUMBER
The clock radio has a built-in timer device called the SLUMBER, which enables the radio to be automatically switched off after 59 minutes. SLUMBER allows you to lie back, listen and fall asleep.

Additional Information
MAINTENANCE
� If you do not intend to use the clock radio for a long time, disconnect the set by removing the plug from the wall outlet. The battery should also be removed to prevent chemical leakage which will damage your set. � To clean your set from fingerprints, dust and dirt, use a clean and soft damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not use cleaning products which contain benzene, thinner etc. as these may harm the housing.

Troubleshooting
� If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair. � If you are unable to remedy a problem by following the hints below, consult your dealer or service center.

ALARM OFF
You can switch off the alarm in three ways. Unless you choose to cancel the alarm completely, the ALARM RESET option will be automatically selected after 1 hour and 59 minutes from the time your alarm first goes off. ALARM RESET If you want the alarm mode to be stopped immediately, but also wish to repeat the alarm call at the same time for the following day: � Press ALARM RESET during the alarm call. REPEAT ALARM This will repeat your alarm call at 9 minutes intervals. � Press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM. � Press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM again during the next call if you wish to repeat the alarm call. � If, however, you do not press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM again, the alarm will sound for 1 hour and 59 minutes before turning itself off. Your alarm time setting will then automatically enter the ALARM RESET mode to sound at the same time next day. Switching off the alarm completely � Before or during the set alarm goes off, push the ALARM switch to the OFF position. � The alarm indicator will disappear from the display.

WARNING: under no circumstances should you try to repair the set yourself, as this will invalidate
the warranty.
