POWER SUPPLY
AC operation
1. Before plugging the AC/DC adaptor into the AC socket, make sure the voltage is correct and the
Battery charger switch
is
set correctly:
ALKALINE OFF
for when using no batteries or Alkaline batteries /
NiHM ON
for when using NiMH rechargeable
batteries.
2. If you use Alkaline batteries in the radio and the
Battery charger switch
is on
ALKALINE OFF
, the batteries will be
disconnected automatically when using AC power supply.
3. If you use rechargeable NiMH batteries in the radio and the
Battery charger switch
is on
NiMH ON
, the NiMH batteries will be
charged automatically when using AC power supply.
4. Never use the AC/DC adaptor in rainy or moist conditions to prevent short circuit or moist from entering the radio. Under those
conditions only use battery power and keep the rubber cover closed.
Note:
In order to disconnect the unit from the AC mains completely, the AC/DC adaptor should be removed from the mains socket
completely and it 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 AC adaptor from power supply and remove
the batteries then reinstall the batteries and reconnect the power supply.
Battery operation
1. To open the battery compartment, first remove the rubber foot at the bottom of the apparatus by turning it in counter clockwise
direction.
2. Loosen the screw of the door by unscrewing it in anti-clockwise direction.
3. Observe correct polarity as indicated on the unit (+ and -). Insert Alkaline batteries (6 x 1,5V type IEC LR6 / AM3 / Size AA) or
NiMH rechargeable batteries (6 x 1,2V PerfectPro Rechargeable Accu, Size AA / HR6 / 2500mAh) with the correct polarity into
the compartment.
4. Close the battery door and make sure the screw is fastened.
5. Set the
Battery charger switch
in the battery compartment according to the battery type to be used (
ALKALINE OFF or NiMH
ON
).
6. When you choose to use NiMH batteries, switch the
Battery charger switch
to
NiMH ON
. The radio will charge the batteries
when it is connected to AC power. When the battery is being charged, the battery symbol on the LCD display will animate. The
charging and animation will stop automatically when the batteries are full.
7. When you choose to use Alkaline batteries, switch the Battery charger switch to
ALKALINE OFF
. Alkaline battery will not be
charged.
8. Close the rubber foot well to prevent moist or dust from entering the compartment by turning it in clockwise direction onto the
unit.
9. If the unit is not to be used for any extended period of time, it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
The approximate power level of the batteries is displayed on the LCD display of the radio by the battery symbol (4 levels in total).
When the power level is very low the indication “Batt. 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.
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 to 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 do not recharge again whilst the batteries are still full.
