Additional information for units sold in the UK.
Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains
supply.
The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European coun-
tries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from
many European countries.
This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved
converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated
fuse.
In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only,
which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately
disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a
qualified electrician.
Note:
The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.
If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is
used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any
other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the
plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective,
ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock
hazard.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct
type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the
fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse
covers should be obtained from your dealer.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the follo-
wing code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not cor-
respond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter “N”
or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the
letter “L” or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal mar-
ked with the letter “E”, earth symbol “z”, coloured green, or green & yel-
low.
Replacement mains lead sets can be obtained from your local dealer, or by
contacting Grundig Consumer Relations (01788 570088)

Automatic settings
Automatic station search
Note:
In order to interrupt the automatic settings, press »ON/OFF«.
1
Once you have connected your device to the mains, the run-through of
the frequency appears on the display.
– Your device automatically searches the frequency band for radio
stations.
– The radio stations are saved automatically.
– After the completion of the station search, the device switches to
stand-by mode, the time is set to »0:00« and the DCF symbol
»g« flashes. In the process, the radio programme is muted.
Radio-controlled clock
With your built-in radio-controlled clock, you are in possession of an
absolutely precise alarm and meeting clock which is automatically set to the
radio-transmitted time signals of the most precise clock in the world: the
atomic clock of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig
(PTB). This clock is so precise that in 1 million years a deviation of 1 second
can be expected.
Your radio-controlled alarm clock receives “time telegrams” via long wave
77.5 kHz from the time signal transmitter DCF 77, located in Mainflingen
(24 km south-east of Frankfurt/Main). This time signal transmitter has a
range of 1500 km.
The device receives signals from the DCF 77 transmitter free of charge via
the connected DCF 77 antenna wherever long wave reception is sufficient
with, for example, a good portable radio. Your radio-controlled clock often
receives the time telegrams at a considerably larger distance from the trans-
mitter; in such cases the quality of the local reception plays a key role.
The clock’s built-in micro-processor processes the received time telegrams
and controls the quartz clock fully automatically. After the clock is first acti-
vated, the DCF synchronisation is performed immediately and subsequently
every hour on the hour. Depending on the point of reception, synchronisa-
tion can take several minutes. During this process the »g«display flash-
es.. After a maximum of 5 minutes, the display starts glowing. The synchro-
nisation continues running in the background. In addition to the advantages
of precision timekeeping and to-the-second wake-up and alarm signals,
your radio-controlled clock sets itself automatically to winter and daylight
savings’ time.
If the DCF reception is insufficient, the DCF symbol »g« appears without
k
waves: »
«.

SETTINGS
______________________________________________
Manual settings
If the device was not able to carry out a station search and synchronisation
due to bad reception, then you can manually set the radio stations, time and
date. You should nonetheless try to improve the reception conditions by
aligning the FM and DCF antenna.
Tuning radio stations
There are 10 channel positions available for radio stations.

2
Press » « to switch on the device.
ON/OFF
Begin the station search by pressing and holding down »S« or»A«.
– The search stops as soon as a radio station with a sufficiently strong
signal is found.
– You can also set the frequency of the programme step-by-step
(50 kHz) by briefly pressing »S« or»A«.

Save the radio station by pressing »MEMORY« (»M« flashes in the
display ), select the desired channel position within 20 seconds with
»1/6 ... 5/10« and confirm with »MEMORY«.
– Press »1/6 ... 5/10« once for channel positions 1 ... 5, and twice
for channel positions 6 ... 10.
– Display: the frequency and the selected channel position, e.g. »M 1«.
To set further radio stations, repeat this procedure starting at pt. 2.
Note:
If no channel position is selected within 20 seconds, the device
interrupts the setting procedure. Start again at Step 3.
Setting the time and date
If your device cannot automatically receive the time and date, you can set
both of them manually.

Setting alarm types and times
You can enter two different alarm programmes and select between three
different alarm types. The sound sources of these alarm types are dynamic,
which means the volume increases continually from zero onwards until an
individually set maximum volume is reached (»V 20« for signal tone and
»V 30« for radio station). If the volume control »+ VOLUME –« is used
during the alarm, the volume stops increasing.
Alarm types: ɷ = radio alarm, e = signal alarm, e ɷ = signal and
