You may set two different alarm times with this
clock radio. This can be useful when, for example,
you need to wake at a different time during the
week and at the weekend. 

Setting alarm time 1 and 2
1. 
Press and hold down the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2

button to set the alarm time.

2. Use the 

4 and 7 buttons to set and adjust the

hours and minutes.
– With 

7 pressed; the time will increase

rapidly from minutes to hours. Release 

7

when you have reached the correct setting.

– Pressing 

4 will allow you to adjust the time

backward minute by minute.

3. Release the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button and

the 

7 or 4 buttons when you have reached the

correct setting.
– The clock display goes back to clock time. 

To review your set alarm time, press the
appropriate ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button.

The clock radio can wake you in two ways:

Wake by radio:
1. 
Tune to the desired radio station using the

TUNING knob.
Make sure you have adjusted the volume loud
enough to wake you up.

2. Set the ALARM 1 mode or ALARM 2 mode

selector to RAD(io).
– The respective ALARM indicator lights up on

the display.

At the set alarm time, the radio will switch on and
it will automatically switch off 59 minutes later.

Wake by buzzer:
1. 
Set the ALARM 1 mode or ALARM 2 mode

selector to BUZ(zer).
– The respective ALARM indicator lights up on

the display.

At the set alarm time, the buzzer will switch on
and it will automatically switch off 59 minutes
later.

There are three ways to switch off the alarm.

Switching off the alarm for 24 hours
1. 
Press the RESET button.

– The alarm is now switched off for 24 hours

and will sound again the next day at the
same time.

Switching off the alarm temporarily
For both alarm modes (radio or buzzer) this will
repeat your alarm at seven minute intervals.
1. Press the SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM

button.
– The alarm will temporarily switch off.

Seven minutes later, the alarm (radio or
buzzer) will sound again.

2. Press the SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM button

again if you wish to repeat the alarm call.
– If the SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM button

is not pressed again, the alarm will
automatically switch off 59 minutes later.
Your alarm time setting will then
automatically enter the RESET mode and will
sound at the same time the next day.

Switching off the alarm completely
1. 
Push the ALARM 1 mode or ALARM 2 mode

selector to the OFF position, before or during
the set alarm time.

display.

ALARM OFF

ALARM ON

SETTING THE ALARM

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

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

Alarm

1. Check if the AC power voltage as shown on the

type plate on the back of the set corresponds to
your local AC power supply.
If it does not, consult your dealer or service
organization.

2. Connect the power plug to the wall outlet. 

– The power supply is now switched on and

the numbers on the display will start to flash. 
You will need to set the correct time.

3. To disconnect the set from the AC power

completely, withdraw the power plug from the
wall outlet.

– When a power failure occurs, the clock radio

will be switched off. 

– When the power supply returns, the numbers on

the display will start to flash and you will need
to reset the correct time on the clock.

– To retain the clock time and the set alarm

time(s) in the event of an AC power failure or
disconnection, you can insert a 9 volt battery
(not included), type 6F22, into the battery
compartment.
Should there be a power failure, the clock will
continue to function. However, the time will not
be illuminated on the clock display, as the use
of the battery is strictly to retain both the set
clock and alarm time(s) only, where actual
operation of the alarm and radio is excluded. 
As soon as the power is switched on again,
the display will indicate the correct time.
1. Before inserting the battery, connect the

power plug to the wall outlet.

2. Place the battery in the battery compartment

on the bottom of the clock radio.

– Replace the battery once a year, or as often

as necessary.

Clock display
The time is displayed using the 12-hour clock
system where the PM indicator lights up (on=PM,
off=AM) in the top left corner of the display. The
display also indicates whether you have switched
on the alarm(s). These indicators will light up
respectively next to ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 on
the display.

1. Press and hold down the TIME button.
2. Use the 

4 and 7 buttons to set and adjust the

hours and minutes.
– With 

7 pressed: the time will increase

rapidly from minutes to hours. Release 

7

when you have reached the correct setting.

– Pressing 

4 will allow you to adjust the time

backward minute by minute if necessary.

You can use this clock solely as a radio
1. Set the RADIO switch to ON.
2. Select your wave band using the BAND switch.
3. Locate the required radio station using the

TUNING dial.

4. Set the volume by turning the VOLUME knob.
5. To turn off the radio, set the RADIO switch to

OFF.

Antenna:
– For FM reception, use the external pigtail

antenna. Adjust the pigtail antenna slightly to
obtain optimum reception.

– For AM reception, the set is provided with an

internal antenna. By adjusting the position of
your clock radio, optimum reception can be
obtained. Place the set on a non-metallic
surface to avoid any deterioration of AM
reception.

Clock / Radio

Troubleshooting

The clock radio has a built-in SLUMBER function.
This function enables you to listen to the radio at
bedtime without having to get up to switch the
radio off. The radio will automatically switch off at
the time set. The maximum slumber time is 59
minutes.

Setting the slumber time
The length of time you listen to the radio before
you fall asleep is called the slumber time.
1. Set the RADIO switch to OFF.
2. Set your slumber time by pressing the

SLUMBER button. 
– If you press the SLUMBER button once, 59

will appear on the display, indicating that you
have a slumber time of 59 minutes.

– If you keep the SLUMBER button pressed, the

display will slowly begin to count down from
59 to 00 minutes. Release the button as soon
as the required slumber time is reached.

Cancelling the slumber time
You can switch off the radio before the slumber
time has elapsed.
1. Press the SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM button

to cancel the slumber function.

Note: 
– The slumber function does not affect the alarm

setting(s).

– If you have an alarm set in the radio mode,

make sure you have adjusted the volume loud
enough to wake you up before you set the
slumber time.

– If you do not intend to use the clock radio for a

long time, disconnect the unit by removing the
plug from the wall outlet. The battery should
also be removed to prevent danger of leakage
which will damage your unit.

– To clean your unit from fingerprints, dust and

dirt, use a clean, soft, damp cloth or chamois
leather. Do not use cleaning products which
contain benzene, thinner, etc. as these may
harm the housing.

– Avoid exposing the clock radio to rain,

dampness and extreme heat to prevent a safety
hazard as well as damage to the unit.

The model and production number are located on
the rear of the set.
