Automatic Plug and Play setup  
When your Clock Radio is first connected to the mains supply, or after  
a power failure (when backup battery is not installed), the Auto setup  
will proceed as follows:-  
• Your radio will show "FM 87.5", then automatically search all  
wavebands and store stations in presets.  
• Automatically set the time and day of week.  
1. Connect to mains (see page 6). Your radio will scan through the FM  
waveband, storing stations of sufficient strength as presets.  
Note: To interrupt the automatic tuning, press the Prog/Random  
button once.  
2. Your radio is ready for use when the FM waveband has been fully  
searched.  
After having performed the automatic memory set up process, the  
display will show a DEMO briefly introducing the RDS features.  
3. The Clock Time (CT) indicator will flash in the display whilst time  
setting is carried out.  
5
Note: To interrupt the automatic time set, or stop the DEMO mode, press  
any button once.  
5
4. If the first station detected by the automatic setup does not carry  
CT information your radio will automatically change to another  
station after 1-2 minutes. This process will repeat until the clock is  
set.  
5. Press the BAND button to switch on your radio and press the up  
and down buttons to select a preset station. Adjust the volume  
using the VOLUME control. To switch off your radio press the  
StandBy button.  
5
Note:- Auto setup can take up to 5 minutes to complete and is dependent  
on the signal strength and number of stations in your area.  
Should Auto setup fail, setting the clock and pre-setting stations can be  
carried out manually as described in the following sections.

Setting the Clock Automatically  
The clock time and day of week can be set automatically when recieving  
an RDS radio station that transmits clock time (CT). The CT information  
is transmitted once every minute. If the signal has sufficient signal  
strength the clock will set within one to two minutes.  
1. Switch on the radio with the BAND button on the CD clock radio  
1
or the BAND button on the remote control.  
2. Select an RDS station using the Tuning Up/Down buttons.

3. "CT" will flash in the LCD display indicating that the radio is waiting  
for an RDS time signal. The "CT" indicator will stop flashing when the  
time is set.  
Note:- If the clock does not set within three to four minutes, the radio  
station may not be transmitting clock time (CT) information, in this case  
try another radio station.  
Remote Control  
The clock time and day of week are updated every time the radio is  
switched on and whilst listening to an RDS station transmitting clock time  
(CT) information.  
Auto setup can take up to 5 minutes to complete and is dependent on the  
signal strength and number of stations in your area.  
Should Auto setup fail, setting the clock and pre-setting stations can be

Radio Data System (RDS)  
The Radio Data System (RDS) is a system in which inaudible digital information is transmitted in addition to the normal FM radio programme.  
RDS offers several useful features. The following are available on your radio:-  
Programme Identification (PI)  
Enhanced Other Network (EON)  
This information consists of a code, which is assigned to each individual  
radio programme to enable it to be distinguished from all others. It is not  
intended for direct display or access by the user but used internally by  
the microprocessor.  
Additional information about other programmes within the same network  
is transmitted when your broadcasting station is using an Enhanced  
Other Network. The EON indicator will be displayed and you will hear  
traffic flashes of other programmes within the network automatically (if  
the Traffic Announcement/EON function is switched on).  
Programme Service (PS) name  
Clock Time (CT) automatic adjustment  
The Programme Service name is a text usually consisting of not more  
than eight alphanumeric characters. It indicates information about the  
programme being broadcast. A station name or an abbreviation is  
shown in the display instead of the tuned frequency (Example: BBC R4).  
The Clock Time information transmitted from the broadcasting station  
can be used for setting and synchronising the clock of your radio  
automatically. The Auto-Time function can be enabled or disabled by the  
user.  
Note: RDS features are available on the FM band only.  
Traffic Information System  
The Traffic Programme identification (TP) indicates which RDS stations  
provide traffic information. The Traffic Announcement identification  
(TA) indicates traffic information is being broadcast. When TA is  
received, the  
symbol will flash and the volume increases slightly.  
If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :-

Operating your radio using RDS (Radio data system)  
1. Switch on your radio and select the FM waveband.  
2. Tune into a station; the display will indicate frequency for two  
seconds and then change to show the station name. The  
symbol will appear in the display.  
3. If thestationdoesnot carryRDSinformationonlythestationfrequency  
will be shown.  
Note: the RDS indicator will flash if the signal is too weak for RDS  
operation.  
DisplayModes  
After tuning to an RDS station, the display briefly indicates the stations  
frequency and then the station name.  
1. To display the stations frequency press the Display button  
twice; the display briefly indicates the frequency followed by the  
station name. If the station is not transmitting an RDS signal or the  
signal is too weak, station frequency will be displayed instead of  
station name.

6. If the station carries Enhanced Other Network information the EON  
symbol will appear in the display. The radio will automatically tune  
to other stations transmitting traffic information. When the traffic  
announcement has finished the radio will re-tune to the previously  
selected station.  
e.g. If the radio is tuned to a national station such as BBC Radio 4,  
itwillautomaticallyre-tunetoanyBBClocalstationbroadcasting  
traffic announcements. When the traffic announcement on the  
local station is finished the radio will re-tune to the previously  
selected station.  
Note: There may be occasions when the station to which you are  
listening tells the radio to re-tune to a traffic announcement on  
a local station that is not receivable at your location. Under these  
circumstances there will be some hiss before the radio re-  
tunes back to the previously selected station.  
7. To switch off traffic information press the Traffic/WEC button, the  
symbol  
will be removed from the display.

To remove dust and dirt, breathe on the CD and wipe it with a soft, lint-  
free cloth in a straight line from the centre towards the edge.  
Cleaning agents may damage the CD  
Do not expose the CD to rain, moisture, sand, or to excessive heat. (e.g.  
from heating equipment or in motor cars parked in the sun).  
CD-R/CD-RWdiscs  
Your CD clock radio can playback CD-DA format audio CD-R/CD-RW  
discs that have been finalised* upon completion of recording.  
Your CD clock radio may fail to playback some CD-R/CD-RW discs due  
to poor recording of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.  
*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio CD  
players such as your CD clock radio.

General  
Fuse  
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or  
splashing) or to temperatures exceeding 70 degrees centigrade. 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.
