POWER SUPPLY

AC operation

• Before plugging the AC power cord into the AC socket, make sure the voltage is correct and the Battery charger switch is set correctly: ALKALINE when using no batteries or Alkaline batteries / CHARGE NiHM ON when using NiMH rechargeable batteries.
• If you use Alkaline batteries in the radio and the Battery charger switch is on ALKALINE, the batteries will be disconnected automatically when using AC power supply.
• If you use rechargeable NiMH batteries in the radio and the Battery charger switch is on CHARGE NIMH ON, the NiMH batteries will be charged automatically when using AC power supply.
• AC power cord and plug storage is designed to store the cord and plug when the radio is not in use or playing on batteries.

Note:
In order to disconnect the unit from the AC mains completely, the AC power cord should be removed from the mains socket completely. The AC power cord shall remain readily operable and should not be obstructed during intended use.
In case of malfunction due to electrostatic discharge or fast transient (burst), remove the power supply and all the batteries then reinstall the batteries and reconnect the power supply.

Battery operation

1. To open the battery compartment, first turn the battery cover fixtures counter clockwise to loosen and pull down the battery cover.
2. This unit can be operated with either Alkaline batteries (6 x 1,5V type IEC LR20 / UM-1 / D-size) or NiMH rechargeable batteries (6 x 1,2V PerfectPro Rechargeable Accu, D size HR20 / 8000mAh). Set the Battery charger switch in the battery compartment according to the battery type to be used (ALKALINE or CHARGE NIMH ON).
3. Insert the batteries with correct polarity as indicated in the battery compartment (+ and -). Close the battery cover and fasten the fixtures by turning clockwise. Close well to prevent moist or dust from entering the compartment.
4. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.

The approximate power level of the batteries is displayed in the LCD display of the radio. When the power level is very low, the indication “Battery Low!” appears and the battery symbol flashes on the display. The batteries should then be recharged or replaced soon to continue normal operation of the radio.

When the rechargeable NiMH batteries are being charged. The battery symbol in the LCD display will animate. The charging and animation will stop automatically when the batteries are full.

Back-up batteries (2 x AA)

Back-up batteries are used to back up the time memory when no 6 x D battery power is used. It is necessary to insert back up batteries (2 x AA size / UM-3) for time memory back up if you use AC power supply only. Without the back up batteries time memory will be lost if you remove the AC power cord from AC socket or during power failure. The back up batteries will not be charged and should be replaced after 1 year.

Replacing the fuse of the Battery Charger

The battery charger uses a fuse as a safety device, which protects the radio from over current or excessive surging during the charging process. The fuse will blow if something goes wrong with the charger or the battery (for example, if the battery has been damaged). In case the charger refuses to charge the battery or the radio becomes inoperative with batteries, you should check and replace the battery and/or the fuse.

1. Turn off the radio and unplug the AC power cord from the mains power socket.
2. To open the battery compartment, turn the battery cover fixtures counter clockwise to loosen and pull down the battery cover.
3. Check the batteries carefully and make sure all of them are installed with correct polarity (+ and -) and replace the batteries if there is any damage. Refer to the section of “IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES” for more detailed advises.
4. Locate the fuse holder in the battery compartment. The cover of the fuse holder has the word “FUSE” on it.
5. To remove the fuse cover, use a slot head screwdriver and turn the screwdriver counter clockwise while pressing down the fuse cover. The fuse cover should be turned only when it is pressed down. Do not use too much force when turning the fuse cover as this can cause damage.
6. Replace the blown fuse with an identical new one. The fuse rating is printed beside the fuse holder (T4AL 250V). Do not use fuse of any other type.
7. Replace the fuse cover using a slot head screwdriver. Turn the screwdriver clockwise carefully while pressing down the fuse cover.

Note:

• If the new fuse blows again as soon as the radio is connected to AC power or when you start using the radio, it indicates a problem with either the radio or the battery.
  Have them checked at a dealer or qualified service person.

• The fuse also protects Alkaline batteries from over current.

Warning:

• Danger of explosion if a battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Always make sure the Battery charger switch is set to the correct position.
• An Alkaline battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt charging Alkaline batteries.
• Do not mix up different battery types.
• Do not mix up charged and uncharged batteries.
• Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
• Batteries should not be disposed of by incineration and with household waste.
• Disposable batteries should be taken to a suitable recycling centre if possible.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

1. Recharge the batteries in any case at least every 2 months.
2. Make sure the Battery charger switch next the battery compartment is set to the “CHARGE NiMH ON” position.
3. Put the batteries in the compartment whilst paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+ and -).
4. First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted, charge until they are full. This first charge may take longer than normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in one continuous, uninterrupted charge until batteries are full and to not recharge again whilst the batteries are still full.
5. New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of use (several charge – discharge cycles).
6. Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and do not use these batteries or a few of them for other purposes. This will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries. This can seriously damage the batteries and radio when recharged.
7. It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between 5 degrees C – 35 degrees C. In lower or higher temperatures full charge cannot be achieved.
8. Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from “empty” to “full” can take several hours, even up to 10 hours or more.
9. Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or heat sources.
10. It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-spray from time to time.
11. Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
12. Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
13. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
14. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
15. Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
16. Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can vary with battery type used.
17. Batteries can become hot during charging.
18. In cold conditions the capacity of batteries will be much lower than when used at normal room temperature
19. Batteries (even when supplied with the radio), as being consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions of the radio.
20. It is advised to use Perfectpro rechargeable batteries as the radio and its charger were developed for use with these batteries.
21. Always disconnect from mains power before installing the batteries.
