Battery operation using alkaline batteries

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert 6 x AA ( UM3, LR6 ) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure the batteries are inserted with correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery switch to the Alkaline position and then replace the battery cover.

Important:
when using alkaline batteries, the battery switch must be placed in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result in serious damage to the batteries or radio.

Reduced power, distortion and a “ stuttering “ sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.
If the radio is not to be used for any extended of time, it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
We would suggest for economy that the radio is used via the supplied AC power adaptor whenever possible, with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only. If extended listening using anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is suggested.

Battery operation using rechargeable batteries

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert 6 x rechargeable AA ( UM3 ) batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. The radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal Hydrive (  NiMH ) rechargeable batteries.

3. Slide the battery switch to the Rechargeable position and then replace the battery cover.

4. Insert the supplied AC power adaptor into the DC IN socket on the left hand side of the radio and plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet.

5. The charge light will flash indicating batteries are charging.
   Batteries will be fully charged in around 7 hours while charge LED will stop flashing.
   Important:
   when using rechargeable batteries, the battery switch must be placed in the Rechargeable position. Batteries will only be charged when the radio is switched off and connected to the AC adaptor.

6. Reduced power, distortion and a “ stuttering “ sound are all signs that the batteries may need recharging. Charge LED will be lighted when batteries have no power to turn on the radio.

7. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time, it is suggested that the batteries are removed from the radio.

Note:
Please be aware that the rechargeable battery undergoes a time of charging and discharging, the battery capacity will gradually decline during over time with repeated use. The battery icon shows the remaining battery life on the LCD screen when the radio is turned on. In addition, the calculation of charging time is based on the capacity of the rechargeable battery and charging current power output of the charger. The two examples in the below table are for your reference only.
