Expose This Appliance To Rain or Moisture.
The Shock Hazard Marking and Associated Graphical
Symbol is provided on the rear of unit.
Excessive sound pressure on ear- and headphones
could impair the hearing ability. Higher setting that idle
on the equalizer leads to higher signal voltages on the
output for ear and headphones.
The power plug should be close to the radio, and easy to
be approached that during the emergency, to disconnect
the power from the radio, just unplug the power plug from
the AC power slot.
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used
as the disconnect device, the disconnected device shall
remain readily operable.
This apparatus is provided with protection against
splashing water and dust ingress (IP64).
Use only the AC/DC adaptor which is provided by the

Charging the radio
This unit features a built in 1850mAH Lithium rechargeable
battery to power the radio.
Before operating the radio for the first time please fully
charge the battery with a supplied 5V/500 mA AC adaptor.
Carefully insert the mini-usb plug into the DC IN socket on the
rear of your radio. A red dot on the mini-usb plug indicates the
upside of the mini-usb plug. This red dot is also indicated above
the mini-usb socket. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains
outlet and the radio will begin charging the built in battery.
The red LED next to the DC IN socket will light showing that
the radio is currently powered by an adaptor. The battery icon
will be animated on the display showing charging in progress.
The animation of the battery icon will stop when the battery
is fully charged. The radio can only be charged with radio off.
Charging time is approx. 4 hours. The battery life is approx. 4
to 10 hours* listening through the speaker and approx 6 to 15
hours* with headphones. Reduced power, distortion, ‘stuttering’
sounds or battery power indicator in “low” are all signs that
the battery needs to be recharged.
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.
Safety Note: Never use charge or operate the radio on AC
mains power in rainy or moist conditions to prevent moist
from entering the radio. Always keep the rubber cover on the
back well closed under these conditions.

* Note to battery life: This is a rough indication only as actual
achieved battery life depends on many factors such as:
selected volume, music type (bass heavy music consumes
more energy), selected music source or radio band, selected
EQ settings, temperature and age of the battery.
Battery status indicator
To check the current battery level, press the Power button to
switch on the radio and the battery icon will show the current
battery level.
( ) Battery is fully charged (more than 85% of battery
capacity)
( ) Battery is partially charged (more than 70% of battery
capacity)
( ) Battery is partially charged (between 50-60% of battery
capacity)
( ) Battery is partially charged (between 30-40% of battery
capacity)
( ) Low battery and charging is needed (less than 25% of
battery capacity)
( ) Battery life will be run out soon and charging is needed
immediately.
Note:
The optimium working life from the built-in battery will be
obtained if it is kept topped up by recharging after each
use of the radio, even if it is only partially discharged. The
battery’s working life will be reduced if the product is left in a
discharged condition for a long period of time.
