Introduction
Thank you for choosing the PURETEMPUS-1 digital radio.
TEMPUS-1 offers the same digital-quality,interference-free audio as EVOKE-1,the world’s most popular DAB radio,plus a host of new features
that make it the perfect bedside companion.A sleep timer and programmable alarms enable you to fall asleep listening to one station and
wake up to another (or a simple alarm tone if you prefer).Digital optical and analogue outputs for connection to your hi-fi as a DAB tuner, and
a sophisticated record timer,enable you to record your favourite programmes to a MiniDisc or CD recorder.
Innovative SnoozeHandle™ technology means that when the alarm goes off a simple touch onTEMPUS-1’s handle sets the alarm to snooze or,
at other times,illuminates the full-screen clock for easy night-time viewing.The TEMPUS-1 clock and date functions are set from a broadcast
time signal so they never need changing and you need never miss the clocks going forward or back again.
