BATTERY OPERATION
This unit requires 4 “AA” batteries, not included. We recommend using a well-
known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
• Open the battery compartment by pressing on the “
OPEN
” marks on the cover
and sliding it downward in the direction of the arrows.
• If necessary, fold the AC power cord as shown and push it back into the cord
storage compartment.
• Insert the 4 “AA” batteries into the battery compartment as shown. Be sure to
observe the polarity markings inside the compartment. If the batteries are
inserted incorrectly the unit will not work.
• Slide the battery cover upward until it snaps back into place.
Note
: When the radio sound becomes weak or distorted it is time to change
the batteries. Replace all 4 batteries with fresh, new alkaline batteries at the
same time.
