to your local mains supply. If this is not the case, contact your specialist dealer. 1 Plug the mains cable supplied into the »AC ~ « socket on the radio recorder (back of device). 2 Plug the mains cable into the wall socket. Caution: The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to pull out the plug. Battery operation 1 Open the battery compartment by pressing the catch and removing the lid. 2 Insert six batteries (6 x 1.5 V/type IEC R14/UM2/C-size), observing the polarity marked on the lid of the battery compartment. Notes: Remove the batteries when they are flat or when you know that the device will not be used for a long period of time. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from leaking batteries. The batteries are switched off during mains operation. Environmental note: Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area. Inserting back-up batteries During mains operation, the back-up batteries ensure that stored settings are not lost in the case of a power failure or when the device is briefly disconnected from the mains. 1 Open the back-up battery compartment inside the battery compartment by pushing and removing the lid. 2 When inserting the batteries (2 x 1.5 V, type IEC LR6/AM3/AA), observe the polarity marked on the base of the battery compartment. OVERVIEW ______________________________________________________

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 countries. 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 following code: BLUE – NEUTRAL BROWN – LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, proceed 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 colou- red red. In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with the letter “E”, earth symbol “”, coloured green, or green & yellow. Replacement mains lead sets can be obtained from your local dealer, or by contacting Grun- dig Consumer Relations (01788 570088) Moulded 3-pin lead set, suitable for UK use: Ref: Leadset UK 8290-991-224 Moulded 2-pin Euro lead set, not suitable for UK use: Ref: Leadset Euro 8290-991-316

observe the following instructions. This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibit- ed. Protect the device, the CDs and cassettes from rain, moisture (dripping or splashing water), sand and heat. Do not leave it next to heaters or inside parked cars in the sun. Make sure there is adequate ventilation when positioning the device. There must be a free space of at least 10 cm behind the device. Do not place objects on the ventilation slots. Do not place any objects containing liquids (for example, vases) on the device. Do not insert any foreign bodies in the CD or tape compartment of the device. Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the device. Bringing the device in from the cold can cause condensation on the CD lens, which prevents it from playing. Give the device time to warm up. The CD and tape units contain self-lubricating bearings, which must not be oiled or greased. Never open the device casing under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling. Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always remove the mains plug during an electrical storm. Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may damage the casing. Clean the device with a clean, moist leather cloth. Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove. General information on laser devices You will find a symbol similar to the one shown here on the bottom of the device. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser is designed in such a way as to ensure that the maximum permissible emission value cannot be exceeded under any circumstances. If operating devices or methods other than those specified here are employed, it may lead to dangerous exposure to emissions. Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD compartment is opened and the safety locking mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to this radiation.
