BATTERY CHARGING NOTES AND CAUTIONS

• Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!

• The G5 can be played while charging.

• Alarm settings and action are function while charging.

• The AC adapter/charger will not charge the batteries unless the G5

is set to charge mode.

• For improved life of rechargeable batteries, do not repeatedly

charge fully charged batteries.

• When using new rechargeable batteries or ones that have not been

in use for a lengthy period of time, charge them fully, then use
them until they are fully exhausted. Repeat this cycle several more
times to condition the batteries.

• At some point in their life cycle, all rechargeable batteries lose their

ability to charge. When this occurs, it may be all four batteries at
once, or only one of them. When this occurs, replace them all, not
one at a time. Never mix old rechargeable batteries with new and
always start with four, fresh, new Ni-MH batteries.

CAUTION!

Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!

BEFORE USING THE G5

TURNING THE G5 ON AND OFF

USING THE SLEEP TIMER FEATURE

The sleep timer feature enables the G5 to play for a specified number
of minutes (00-99), then shut off. The sleep timer feature can be acti-
vated and programmed with the G5 turned on or off. Note that in
sleep mode, the radio plays and the sleep symbol (26) appears in the
display. There are two methods to activate and program the sleep
timer. With either method, the sleep symbol (26) appears in the dis-
play after the sleep time is set.

Method 1
1. Use the numeric keypad to enter the desired time (00-99 minutes).
2. Within 3 seconds press the SLEEP button (1). The G5 turns on and

plays for the specified time.

Method 2
1. Press the SLEEP button for about 3 seconds or until the sleep

symbol (26) appears in the display and the G5 turns on.
