INSTALLATION, POWER SUPPLY
The device has four different power supply options. After charging, it can be operated with its built-in accumulator. In case the accumulator is depleted, plug the enclosed cable in the socket located at the rear side of the device, and then to the power outlet. After maximum 8 hours, unplug it from the device and from the power network as well. Charging indication LED will be lighting, till the user doesn’t interrupt the charging.
Also, you can operate the device with 4xD (LR20/1,5V) batteries, or with 6 V , solar panel, accumulator or adapter, – has to be purchased separately-, to be connected to the socket on the rear side.
Operation time will be approximately 8-12 hours, which depends on the adjusted volume, the selected function, and external conditions (e.g.: temperature).
- Charge the built-in accumulator for 4-6 hours before the first use with the enclosed network cable. Charging will be slower, if you are listening to music in the meantime.
- In the future, do not charge it for more than 8 hours if it is discharged completely! Unplug the cable from the device as well as from the network after the specified time! If you do not remove the charging cable from the radio – only from the power network-, the radio will not operate.
- Place the 4 pcs of D batteries to the battery holder compartment according to marked polarity. If you use the device with batteries, they will be not charged neither with using the charging cable nor with using the external 6V power supply. It is not recommended to use accumulators instead of batteries.
