Battery operation using alkaline batteries
(also see page 24)
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by pushing the
catches in the direction shown.
2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the
Alkaline
position.
3. Insert four LR6 (AA size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the
compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the
correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. 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.
• When the batteries are exhausted, the charge/low battery indicator
will show red for a short while. 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 the mains adaptor.
• If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
•
We would recommend for economy that the Play Duo is used via the
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or
stand-by use only. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated,
then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.
IMPORTANT:
The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine,
fi
re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
