Operating the Radio
The radio is equipped with three wavebands to enable you to select the
programme of your choice. The FM waveband requires the use of an
external aerial wire which can be found at the rear of the unit.
This should be uncoiled and positioned for the best reception. The MW
and LW wavebands use an internal aerial which is directional. For the best
reception, it may be necessary to rotate the radio.
Connect the mains plug to a wall socket.
Set the Waveband switch to FM, MW or LW and the Function switch to
'On'.
The Volume control should be adjusted as required.
Tune the radio to the desired programme by adjusting theTuning
control.
To switch off the radio, set the Function switch to 'Off'. If the radio does
not switch off this may be caused by inadvertent operation of the Sleep
function. Press the Time/Alarm off button once to cancel the sleep
function and switch the radio off.
Setting the Clock
When the mains plug is connected to the power supply the clock display
will show 12.00 AM (Midnight) indicating the time requires setting.
Real time
To set the time, press the Time/Alarm off button and either the Fast or
Slow button simultaneously. The Fast button is to advance the time
display quickly - use it to advance swiftly through several hours, follow up
by using the Slow button to set the exact time. The time display will
advance each time the button is depressed, or automatically if it is kept
depressed. Release the buttons when the correct time is shown.
Note: Ensure that the time is correctly set for either AM or PM . The
PM indicator must be lit for PM operation. If the indicator is
not lit the time displayed is AM.
Quick on/off feature
The Sleep and Time/Alarm off button can be used together as a
convenient way to turn the radio on and off when it is required to operate
for a short period of less than one hour.
Alarm time
To display the alarm time, press the Alarm button. When you release the
button, the display reverts to real time. Use the Fast and Slow buttons
whilst holding down the Alarm button to set the desired AL1 or AL2 time.
Ensure the correct AM/PM setting is observed.
Note: The alarm time can only be set with the Alarm switch in the
AL1 or AL2 position. If the Alarm switch is set to AL1+2, then
pressing the Alarm button will only display the real time, not
alarm time.
Alarm Function
Your CR980 has both single or dual alarm functions and can be set to
operate at one of two preset times or both, as required. For example, you
might want one time for during the week and another for the weekend, or
two different times for the same day of the week.
Single alarm
If you require the alarm to operate once at a given time setting, set the
required alarm time as described above and position the Alarm switch to
either AL1 or AL2. Set the Function switch to 'Alarm' (for waking to the
alarm tone) or 'Auto' (for waking to the radio). The respective LED alarm
indicator will now be lit and the alarm/radio will operate at the set time.
You could now set the the second alarm function in the same way and
simply position the Alarm switch to AL1 on weekdays and AL2 on
weekends.
Note: Once the AL1 or AL2 has operated, press the Time/Alarm
off button once, the alarm/radio will sound again the next day
unless the Function switch is set to 'Off'.
