PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your radio uses three AA batteries (not
supplied) for power. We recommend alka-
line batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No.
23-552. You can also use rechargeable
nickel-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23-125
or 23-149). Before you use nickel-cadmium
batteries, you must charge them (see
“Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries” on
Page 4).
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Be sure the radio is off, then pull down
the latch at the bottom of the radio and
remove the battery compartment
cover.
2. Use a pointed object such as a pen to
set CHRG inside the compartment to
OFF (for alkaline batteries) or ON (for
nickel-cadmium batteries).
