Safety
Warning
• Never remove the casing of this clock radio.
• Never lubricate any part of this clock radio.
• Never place this clock radio on other electrical
equipment.
• Keep this clock radio away from direct sunlight, naked
ames or heat.
• Make sure that you always have easy access to the
power cord, plug or adaptor to disconnect the clock
radio from the power.
• Read and follow these instructions.
• Make sure that there is enough free space
around the product for ventilation.
• Refer all servicing to qualied service
personnel. Servicing is required when
the clock radio has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the clock radio, the
clock radio has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
• Only use attachments/accessories specied
by the manufacturer.
• Use only power supplies listed in the user
manual.
• Unplug this product during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
• Battery usage CAUTION – To prevent
battery leakage which may result in bodily
injury, property damage, or damage to the
remote control:
• Install the battery correctly, + and - as
marked on the remote control.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or
carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove the battery when the remote
control is not used for a long time.
• The battery shall not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the
like.
• The product shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
• Do not place any sources of danger on the
product (e.g. liquid lled objects, lighted
candles).
• Where the plug of the Direct Plug-in
Adapter is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.
Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
• Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing. This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute. The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing 'comfort level' adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds 'normal' can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even
at normally 'safe' levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
3EN
• Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can't hear what's around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Note
• The type plate is located on the back of the device.

About DAB
About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcasting
radio via a network of terrestrial transmitters.
It provides listeners with more choice and
information delivered in crystal clear, crackle-
free sound quality.
– The technology allows the receiver to lock on
to the strongest signal it can nd.
– With DAB digital stations there are no
frequencies to remember, and sets are tuned
by station name, so there's no returning on the
move.
What is a multiplex?
Digital radio operation is made up of a single
block of frequencies called a multiplex. Each
multiplex works within a frequency spectrum,
such as Band III for DAB broadcasts.
DAB BROADCASTERS AND DLS
Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex operator)
also provides text and audio data services.
Some programmes are supported by Dynamic
Label Segments (DLS).This is data which you
can read as scrolling text on your DAB radio
display. Some stations transmit the latest news,
travel, and weather, what's on now and next,
website addresses and phone numbers.
For more information on digital radio coverage
and services, please visit: www.drdb.org.
