Battery operation
1. Release the catch securing the rear door of your radio.
2. Insert four LR20 (D size) 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. Close the rear door and secure the catch.
3. Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the
batteries may need replacing.
4. 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 radio is used via the AC adaptor
whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only.
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.
Using the AC adaptor
1. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC in socket on the rear of your
radio.
2. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet. Whenever the
adaptor is used the batteries are automatically disconnected. The AC adap-
tor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the radio when not in
use.
•
IMPORTANT:
The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the
radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain
accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the mains
completely, the mains adaptor should be removed from the mains socket
outlet completely.
