Battery operation using alkaline batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by sliding the catch.
2. Insert six C size (UM2, LR 14) alkaline batteries into the spaces in
the compartment. Ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct
polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery switch to the Alkaline position and then replace the
battery cover.
Important: when using alkaline batteries, the battery switch must
be placed in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result
in serious damage to the batteries or radio.
Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering“ sound are all the signs
that the batteries may need replacing.
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 radio is used via the
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional
or standby use only. If extended listening using batteries is
anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.
Battery operation using rechargeable batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing
the catch.
2. Insert six Rechargeable LR 14 (C size, UM 2) batteries into the
spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are
inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery
compartment. The radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.
3. Slide the battery switch to the NiMH position and then replace the
battery cover.
