Connecting The Unit; Power Supply - Grundig Sonoclock 740 Handbuch

Connecting the unit

The unit is designed to operate from a mains supply of
230 V~, 50/60 Hz.
GB
When the set is connected for the first time or after a power
failure (without standby battery fitted), the clock automatically
starts receiving the DCF 77 time signal.
Standby-battery – mains failure
If a standby battery is fitted, the clock will continue to operate
during mains failure. However, the display will not be
illuminated and the radio does not work.
• Insert a 9 V alkaline battery (IEC 6 LF 22) into the battery
compartment on the bottom of the unit.
• Insert the battery only after the unit has been connected to the
mains in order to prevent unnecessary drain.
• We recommend that the battery is replaced after approx.
1 year.
• If the clock radio is to be disconnected for a long period,
the standby battery should be removed, as it would
otherwise discharge too quickly and may leak.

POWER SUPPLY

Important note for users in the U.K.:
When fitting a mains plug, follow the instructions on page 2.
Note: The unit remains connected to the mains even when it
is switched off.
The unit is only fully isolated from the mains if the mains plug
is removed from the wall socket.
Note on Environmental Protection
Do not throw exhausted batteries in the
household refuse.
Hand over the old batteries to your dealer or
public collecting points when buying new ones.
Note:
The radio only functions after time adjustment.
This ensures the fastest possible time signal reception,
which is then not disturbed by the radio.
• If you wish to switch on the radio before time signals have
been received, you should first set the time manually.
