Battery operation
1.
Open the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the latch downward.
2.
Insert 4 x UM-2 / LR14 (C size) batteries into the battery compartment. Ensure the batteries are inserted with
correct polarity as shown on the rear cabinet. Close the battery cover.
3.
Reduced power, distortion and a stuttering sound or the low battery LED indicator is red are all signs that the
batteries need replacing. 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.
When using batteries only and the radio is switched off, the menu can’t be set and the clock time can’t be
displayed. The Emergency alert feature is disabled and the alarms can’t be activated. If using the AC power
adaptor to power the radio, these features can be implemented when the radio is on or in standby mode.
NOTE
Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire or the like. After use, disposable
batteries should be taken to a suitable recycling center. On no account should batteries be disposed of by
incineration. Do not leave batteries within reach of young children; they can be a choking hazard.
IMPORTANT
