Setting up the system
You can mount your new clock radio on a plane and stable surface. The stand of the
unit should be located close to a properly connected power socket. In order to
ensure a sufficient ventilation, the device must not be operated on soft surfaces
(carpets or the like). Possible ventilation openings of the devices must not be
covered by newspapers, curtains etc.
The Remote Control
Take out the remote control handset from the package. Open the battery
compartment. Insert 2 x 1.5V "AAA" sized batteries in the battery compartment as
shown in the diagram inside the compartment. Make sure they are inserted
correctly or the remote control will not function and could be damaged. We
recommend using alkaline batteries. Now please close the battery compartment.
Should the r/c start to work unreliably replace both batteries. Please point the r/c
towards the main unit when calling up functions. No obstacles may stand in the way
between r/c and infrared sensor.
If you won’t use the r/c for a week or longer, please remove the batteries from the
compartment, to prevent damage by leakage.
Batteries must not be disposed by ordinary refuse disposal. Please
lead empty batteries towards appropriate collecting points. Never
throw batteries into fire.

Operation of the clock radio
Establish connections
1. Connect to the electricity supply using a properly connected power
socket (230V~/50Hz).
2. For FM reception pull out the pigtail antenna from the rear panel of the
clock radio and position it so that you have the best possible reception.
3. You can connect the analog stereo output of other devices (e.g. CD
players or cassette recorders, 3.5 mm jack) to the AUX input.
4. You can also connect an active subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER output
(3.5 mm jack).
General operation

conds. Within this period of time press the 4;/ENTER button on the remote con-
trol. Then the hour digits will start to flash to indicate, that the time will be

you should switch off the mains switch on the rear panel if you’re not going to use
the device for a longer period of time. In this case the clock time is not saved. After
switching on the device you have to reset the clock.
Playback of USB / SD/MMC Flash Memory
The system is equipped with a card slot for SD and MMC flash memory
cards as well as a USB port. You can use these interfaces to play files in MP3
and WMA format. It cannot be guaranteed, however, that all MP3 and
WMA files are played by every USB/SD/MMC memory device. That
is due to the different specifications and manufacturers of storage media,
PC models and operating systems. The playback of files from hard drives
that are connected to the USB port is not possible. If you try nevertheless
there is the danger of data loss for which we cannot be held liable in any
way!
In the following the numbers of the folders and titles allocated by the device are
derived from the point in time of their recording.
Ø
If necessary, press the FUNCTION button repeatedly until “SD/MMC” (card
operation) or “
UDISC” (USB operation) is displayed.
Ø
Connect the USB memory medium with the USB port or insert a SD or MMC card
with the labelled side upwards in the card slot until it clicks into position.
Ø
The playback starts automatically. Title number, running time and ID3 tags
(information about the singer and title name stored with the file) are displayed.
Ø
By shortly pressing the 9 or : button you can select the next or previous title
during playback. The display shows your choice. Keeping one of these buttons
pressed will activate the search (playback with high speed). If the desired
position is reached let go of the button. The playback will then be continued with
normal speed. The sound is muted while searching.
Ø
If the files are stored in several sub directories (folders) press the FOLDER
button in order to play the files in the next folder. The playback is then continued
with the first title in the selected folder.
