device with a clean, moist leather cloth.
Never open the device casing. Warranty claims are excluded for damage
resulting from improper handling.
The type plate is located on the bottom of the device.
If malfunctions occur due to brief mains overloads or static electricity char-
ges, reset the device. To do this, pull out the power plug and connect it
again after a few seconds.

POWER SUPPLY
Mains operation
Note:
Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the bottom of the
device) corresponds to your local mains supply. If this is not the case,
contact your specialist dealer.
1
2
Insert the supplied power cable into the »AC ~« socket on the left of the
device.
Plug the mains cable into the socket (230 V~, 50/60 Hz).
Notes:
If there are batteries in the device, these are switched off automatically
during mains operation. The only way to disconnect the device from the
mains supply is to pull out the plug.
Battery operation
You can also operate the device using standard batteries (not supplied). In
this case, you must disconnect the mains power cable.
1
Open the battery compartment by pressing the area marked with an
arrow on the drawing and lifting the cover.
2
Insert four batteries (Type IEC/4 x1.5V/AM 1/LR 20/D size) according
to the polarity marked on 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. When the batteries
are low, a battery symbol appears and flashes in the display. This func-
tion does not work when the power cable is plugged into the device.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from leaking
batteries.
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 dis-
connected from the mains.

arrows on the drawing and lifting the cover.

2
When inserting the batteries (micro type/2x1.5V/AM 4/LR 03/AAA
size) in the small compartment, observe the polarity marked on the
compartment base.
Note:
If no main batteries are inserted and there is no mains power supply,
you have approximately 10 seconds to change the back-up batteries.

POWER SUPPLY
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 let-
ter “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)

When the device is first connected to the mains or the batteries are first
inserted, the device begins an automatic FM station search and stores the
first ten stations with strong signals on the preset buttons 1/6, 2/7, 3/8,
4/9, 5/10. In this process, preference is given to RDS stations. The follow-
ing appears in the display: »SEARCHING FM PLEASE WAIT«. You can stop the
search by pressing »MEMO.«.
