Powering the radio
Battery operation
Installing the batteries: first turn battery cover fixture
anti-clockwise to loosen and open the battery cover.
Before you insert the batteries, if you use nonrechargeable
batteries, make sure the NiMH / Alkaline switch which located
inside the battery compartment is switched to Alkaline
position. If you use rechargeable batteries, make sure to
switch NiMH / Alkaline switch to NiMH position.
NOTE
Insert 6 x AA size (AM-3) battery into the compartment.
Ensure the batteries are inserted in accordance with the diagram
shown. Close the battery cover and fasten the fixture by turning
clockwise. 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. Reduced power, distortion and a stuttering sound or “Battery
Low” showing on the display are all signs that the batteries need
replacing or recharging. (see below information on “charging the
batteries”).
When playing on (rechargeable) batteries the output power is less
compared to the output power when playing on AC mains power.
Because of this the sound can be somewhat distorted at the
highest volume settings.

Under some conditions the charging LED indicator may switch off after flashing briefly. This
may happen if the batteries are already freshly charged, or if the radio detects that you may be
attempting to recharge alkaline batteries or mixed different types or capacity of rechargeable
battery. In these cases the charging will be stopped.
AC operation
Before you plug the AC cord into the AC socket, make sure the voltage is correct. If you have batteries
in the radio and use the AC power cord, the batteries will automatically be disconnected.
Power cord storage is designed to store the cord when the radio is not in use.
Powered via DC IN socket
The radio can be also powered via the DC IN socket which can allow 12 Volt DC, which is designed to
be powered by the vehicle or the boat so you can take the radio with you outdoors or on the boat.
An additional cigarette lighter cable is required (not supplied) for this device.
Never use the 12 Volt socket 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.
If no controls are used and no sound output from the radio for 15 minutes, the radio will be put
into standby mode when using the mains power. When the radio is operated on battery power,
the radio will be switched off completely in order to minimize battery usage.
NOTE
NOTE
Charging the batteries
Make sure the radio is switched off and connected to theAC mains socket.
When the battery charge indicator LED flashes green, this indicates the batteries are charging.
Batteries will be fully charged in around 5-7 hours. The battery charge indicator LED shows steady
green light when the battery charging process is complete.
Duration for charging your batteries fully can vary according to the mAh capacity of the batteries.
Higher mAh batteries require longer charging time.
INSTALL ONLY PRE-CHARGED (TO THE SAME VOLTAGE LEVEL) NIMH BATTERIES WITH “LOW
SELF-DISCHARGE” CHARACTERISTICS. USE OF ORIGINAL PERFECTPRO BATTERIES IS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
