ASSEMBLY
Inserting/Removing Battery Pack
Insert
the battery pack by sliding it into the bat-
tery bay.
To
remove
the battery pack, pull the battery pack
off of the bay.
Low Battery Indicator
When the radio is powered by a battery pack, a low
battery indicator will be displayed when the battery
pack needs to be charged.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect the life of the battery pack, the radio will
shut off when the battery’s charge becomes too
low. If this happens, remove the battery pack and
charge it according to the charger’s instructions.
Installing an Auxiliary Device
Open the Auxiliary Compartment to connect an
MP3 player, CD player, or other audio device using
the stereo auxiliary jack. Small devices (less than
3-1/4" wide, 7-1/4" high, and 1-1/8" thick
) can be
stored in the compartment during use.
USB Power Outlet
This jack can be used to charge a cell phone,
power a CD player or any other device that uses
less than 2.1 A of DC electrical current. Function
will only occur when the radio is plugged into an
outlet, or the radio is on and an M18™ battery pack
is inserted. The USB Power Outlet will not function
off of a battery pack with the radio off.
NOTE:
Any device that uses more than 2.1 A of DC
electrical current will trip a self-resetting function
and disable the output.

cals or may explode if used incorrectly. The
following care should be taken to prevent
