General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. Do not leave the
unit where excessive heat could cause damage. 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 and LW bands.
Mains supply
The CR980 will operate from a supply of AC 230 volts, 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 correct style of plug to suit your household together with a correctly
rated fuse should be fitted.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any connection to the larger terminal which
is marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured
Green or Green-and-yellow.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
codes :-
BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identi-
fying 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.
Fuse
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.
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Back-up battery
Slide the battery cover catch in the direction of the arrow. Remove the
battery cover. Fit a 9 volt IEC size 6F22 (6LR61, PP3) or equivalent
battery into the compartment. Replace the battery cover. 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 battery is not
necessary for the unit to function.
Aerials
The wire aerial located on the rear of the CR980 is for FM reception. The
wire should be fully extended and positioned for optimum reception
There is a built in ferrite aerial for MW and LW stations. Rotate the CR980
to the position giving best reception.
Important
If an alarm time has not been set and the Function switch is left in the
'Auto' or 'Alarm' position, the alarm/radio will operate at 12.00 midnight.
If you do not require the alarm function, ensure that the Function switch
is correctly set to the 'Off' position. The display alarm indicators will be
switched off.
