General  
Fuse  
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water or steam. Do not leave the  
unit where excessive heat could cause damage. 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 and LW bands.  
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.  
Back-up battery  
Mains supply  
Slide the battery cover catch in the direction of the arrow. Remove the  
battery cover. Fit a 9 volt IEC size 6F22 (6LR61, PP3) or equivalent  
battery into the compartment. Replace the battery cover. The time and  
alarm settings will be retained during a temporary failure of the AC mains  
supply. The LED display will not be operational. The battery is not  
necessary for the unit to function.  
The CR980 will operate from a supply of AC 230 volts, 50Hz  
only.  
For your convenience this product is supplied with a plug which is fitted  
with a fuse of the appropriate rating. If the plug supplied is not suitable for  
your socket outlet, it should be removed by unscrewing the plug top, the  
terminal screws, and removing the cable.  
The correct style of plug to suit your household together with a correctly  
rated fuse should be fitted.  
Aerials  
The wire aerial located on the rear of the CR980 is for FM reception. The  
wire should be fully extended and positioned for optimum reception  
IF IN DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN  
There is a built in ferrite aerial for MW and LW stations. Rotate the CR980  
to the position giving best reception.  
IMPORTANT. DO NOTmake any connection to the larger terminal which  
is marked with the letter E or by the safety earth symbol  
Green or Green-and-yellow.  
or coloured  
Important  
If an alarm time has not been set and the Function switch is left in the  
'Auto' or 'Alarm' position, the alarm/radio will operate at 12.00 midnight.  
If you do not require the alarm function, ensure that the Function switch  
is correctly set to the 'Off' position. The display alarm indicators will be  
switched off.  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following  
codes :-  
BLUE - NEUTRAL  
BROWN - LIVE  
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identi-  
fying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked N or  
coloured BLACK.  
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked L  
or coloured RED.

Operating the Radio  
Quick on/off feature  
The radio is equipped with three wavebands to enable you to select the  
programme of your choice. The FM waveband requires the use of an  
external aerial wire which can be found at the rear of the unit.  
The Sleep and Time/Alarm off button can be used together as a  
convenient way to turn the radio on and off when it is required to operate  
for a short period of less than one hour.  
This should be uncoiled and positioned for the best reception. The MW

Connect the mains plug to a wall socket.  
Set the Waveband switch to FM, MW or LW and the Function switch to  
'On'.

two different times for the same day of the week.

To set the time, press the Time/Alarm off button and either the Fast or  
Slow button simultaneously. The Fast button is to advance the time
