Battery operation using rechargeable batteries
. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the catch.
. Insert six Rechargeable LR 4 (C size, UM ) 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. The radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable
batteries.
. Slide the battery switch to the NiMH position and then replace the battery cover.
4. Plug the supplied power adaptor into the radio and connect to the mains.
5. The Charge LED will flash green indicating battery are charging. Batteries will be fully charged
in around 8 hours. The Charge LED will show a steady green when the batteries are fully charged.
● Important: When using rechargeable batteries, the battery switch must be placed in the
NiMH position. Batteries will only be charged when the radio is switched off and connected
to the AC adaptor.
● Reduced power, distortion or your radio switching off by itself are all signs that the batteries may
need charging.
● 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.
Important: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or
the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling center.
The batteries shouldn’t be disposed by incineration.
