Battery operation using alkaline batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the
cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert 6 x AA ( UM3, LR6 ) alkaline batteries into the spaces in
the compartment. Take care to ensure the batteries are
inserted with 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 signs
that the batteries may need replacing.
If the radio is not to be used for any extended of time,
it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
We would suggest for economy that the radio is used via the
supplied AC power adaptor whenever possible, with battery
operation for occasional or stand-by use only. If extended listening
using anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is
suggested.
