● When using alkaline batteries, the battery switch in the battery
compartment must be placed in the Charge Off / Alkaline position.
Failure to do so could result in serious damage to the batteries or
radio.

The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible to
switch the radio back on until the batteries are replaced or until
the radio is connected to a supplied power source.
● If the radio is not to be used for an extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries be removed from the radio.

We recommend that the DT-800 be used with the supplied AC adaptor
whenever possible. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated
then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.
