Battery operation using alkaline batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover towards
the base of the radio.
2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the
Alkaline
position (up).
The switch is deliberately recessed to prevent accidental operation.
3. Insert four LR14 (C size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as
shown on the battery compartment cover. Then replace the battery cover.
•
Important: when using alkaline batteries the battery switch must be
placed in the alkaline position (up). Failure to do so could result in
serious damage to the batteries or radio.
4. The low battery indicator showing on the display, reduced power, distortion
and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.
When the batteries have full charge the full battery indicator
will be shown
on the display.
•
If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended
that the batteries are removed from the radio.
•
We would recommend for economy that the Opus is used via the AC adaptor
whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use
only. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated, then the use of
rechargeable batteries is recommended, see page 5.
IMPORTANT:
The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
Caution:
Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger
of explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.
