TWO TYPES OF POWER SUPPLY
BY BATTERY
You may either use AA batteries or the rechargeable batteries
supplied with this radio.
When you use the rechargeable batteries for this radio, the
power adaptor (220 V) that is supplied with this radio can also
be used to recharge the rechargeable batteries inside the radio
(see "BATTERY RECHARGE" for details).
Installing Batteries
1. Open the back cover of the battery compartment ;
2. Put in the 4 batteries according to the polarity inside the
battery compartment,
3. Close the back cover of the battery compartment.
- When using non-rechargeable batteries, please do not
connect the plug of the AC adaptor to the DC 6 V Input
Socket
(26)
.
- Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
- Do not use new and old batteries together.
- Please remove all batteries when the radio is not to be used
for a long period of time.
- Please do not store rechargeable batteries with other items
such as coin or metal to avoid shorting the rechargeable
batteries.
- If leakage is found on the batteries, clean the battery
compartment with tissue to prevent further corrosions of other
radio parts.
Replacing Batteries
1. When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the BATTERY
SIGN on the LCD will flash and then disappear. The radio will
be turned off automatically. If you are using non-rechargeable
batteries, please replace with new ones. If you are using
rechargeable batteries, please recharge the batteries.
2. When the radio is completely cut off from supply of electricity,
the memory presets stored in the radio are permanent which
will not be affected by the cut off of electricity. However, you
will need to re-adjust the clock.
3. If you do not want to lose the memory of the clock, please
connect the radio to the AC adaptor or replace the batteries in
not more than 3 minutes.
BY USING THE AC ADAPTOR
1. As the AC Adaptor (DC06) supplied with the radio run in
220 V only, you will need to have a 110 V input 220 V output
step-up power transformer to be used with the AC Adaptor
(DC06). Plug the step-up transformer into the AC mains
socket, then plug the AC Adaptor (DC06) into the output
socket of the step-up transformer.
2. Connect the other end of the AC Adaptor (DC06) into the DC
6 V Input Socket
(25)
.
- When using the AC Adaptor (DC06), it is normal that it will
become slightly warm after a period of use.
- When using the AC Adaptor (DC06), battery connection
inside the radio will be cut off automatically.
- When not using the AC Adaptor (DC06), please remove it and
the step-up transformer from the AC mains.
- When using the AC Adaptor (DC06) to supply electricity to the
radio, the backlight of the radio will be lit continuously.
- It is better to remove the non-rechargeable battery outside the
battery compartment if the AC Adaptor (DC06) is to be used
for a certain long period of time.
- The AC Adaptor (DC06) is specially designed for the DE1103
radio with a steady voltage and 300 ma current, please do not
use it with other appliances.
- Please do not use any other AC adaptor with the DE1103 as
this may damage the rechargeable function of the radio.
You can check the battery level when the radio is first turned on,
one of the following ladder signs will display.
The ladder sign will disappear when the radio is in normal use.
However, you may wish to press the “VOL”
(18)
knob slightly to
view the battery level signs again when the radio is in normal
use :
- If the radio is automatically turned off after turning it on when
using non-rechargeable batteries, the batteries are
exhausted. You should replace all batteries to prevent
leakage of battery fluids.
- If you are using rechargeable batteries, you should recharge
the batteries when the “Battery Low” sign is displayed.
BATTERY RECHARGE
When the rechargeable batteries, AC Adaptor (DC06) and the
step-up transformer are properly installed, you may start to
recharge the rechargeable batteries inside the battery
compartment.
RECHARGE PROCEDURES
1. Put the rechargeable batteries inside the battery
compartment of the radio.
2-1. Plug the step-up transformer 110/220 VAC into the AC
mains socket, then plug the 220 VAC Adaptor (DC06) into
the output socket of the step-up transformer (for 110 V
contry ONLY).
2-2. Plug the 220 VAC Adaptor (DC06) into the AC mains
socket (for 220 V contry ONLY).
3. Connect the other end of the AC Adaptor (DC06) into the
DC 6 V Input Socket
(25)
.
4. Turn the radio off, press the “VOL” button
(18)
with one
hand and rotate the “TUNE” knob
(15)
with another hand to
set the recharge time. The recharge time can be set from 1
to 23 hours. When the “VOL” button is released, recharge
of batteries will start.
5. When recharge of batteries is taking place, you will be able
to observe the movements of the battery level ladder signs
from short to tall.
6. The recharge process will terminate at the time that you
set.
PRECAUTIONS
1. It is not possible to recharge batteries when the radio is
turned on. However, it is possible to turn on the radio during
the recharge process, reception will not be affected.
2. If you turn on the radio during the recharge process, it will not
have any adverse effect on the recharging batteries.
3. The drain of current for this radio is about 100 mA, the
recharge time can be calculated as follows : recharge time
(hours) = capacity of battery (mAH) divided by 100 (mA). It
the batteries to be recharged are not fully exhausted, the
recharging time should be reduced accordingly.
