2. The Time Capsule will automatically activate the Radio Controlled  
clock and initiate a search for the time signal. When first connected  
to the mains supply the MSF signal indicator shows the MSF signal  
level. Rotate the Time Capsule or change its position until the highest  
signal level is obtained.  
3. In most locations the time capsule can be placed behind a  
bedside cupboard out of sight. If necessary the Time Capsule can  
be secured to the cupboard using the double sided tape provided. If  
a more permanent installation is required the base of the Time  
Capsule can be snapped open at the split line - the base can then be  
securedusingtwosmallscrews. Thetopsectioncanthenbesnapped  
back onto the base.  
4. We recommended that your clock radio and Time Capsule are placed  
as far away as possible from any sources of interference such as  
computers or televisions, etc.

Fuse  
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. 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 band.  
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.
