the mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional
or stand-by use only.

Your CD clock radio can playback CD-DA format audio CD-R/CD-RW
discs that have been finalised* upon completion of recording.
Your CD clock radio may fail to playback some CD-R/CD-RW discs due
to poor recording of the CD-R/CD-RW disc.
*Finalising enables a CD-R/CD-RW disc to playback on audio CD
players such as your CD clock radio.

Fuse
General
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.
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or
splashing) or to temperatures exceeding 70 degrees centigrade. 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/LW bands.
