pack, the radio will automatically turn off
when the battery pack's charge becomes
too low. This prevents a full discharge and
prolongs the life of the battery pack.

Remove the battery pack and place it
on the appropriate charger.
2.
Insert a fully charged battery pack or
plug the radio into an AC outlet.
3.
Turn the radio off, then on again to re-
set the protection circuit.

OPERATION
Battery Compartment
This radio can be powered using a
MILWAUKEE
12, 14.4, 18 or 28 volt bat-
tery pack. Run time can be maximized us-
ing a 28 volt battery pack.
For your convenience, this radio has a
deep discharge protection feature that
stops the radio if a battery pack is running
too low. This prevents a full electrical dis-
charge and prolongs the life of the battery.
See the "Battery Pack Protection" section
for more information.

This jack can be used to import the audio
sound of a CD player, MP3 player or other
audio device.
12 Volt DC Output Jack
This jack can be used to charge a cell
phone, power a CD player or any other
device that uses less than one (1) amp of

Clock/Preset Backup
The clock and station presets are main-
tained by two (2) double AA batteries, lo-
cated on the bottom of the radio unit. Bat-
teries are included.
