Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover
to the OPEN direction.
Insert 4 x UM-2 (C size) rechargeable batteries into the battery
compartment. Make sure all batteries are inserted with correct po-
larity as shown inside the battery compartment.
The radio is designed with Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) recharge-
able battery usage.
Slide the battery switch to the NiMH/NiCad position and then re-
place the battery cover.
Insert the supplied AC power adapter into the DC-In jack on the left
hand side of the radio and plug the adapter into a standard 13A
main socket outlet.
The DC jack ring LED flashes indicating that the batteries are
charging. When the DC jack ring stops flashing it should indicate
that the batteries are fully charged. (Approximate charging time is 8
hours).
Decreased of power, distortion and “stuttering sound” are signs that
the batteries may need to be recharged. Should the battery power
decreases, the low battery power indicator will start flashing on the
LCD display.
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. For
extended listening, we recommend to use the supplied AC power
adapter or otherwise the rechargeable batteries.
