General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not leave the
unit where excessive heat could cause damage such as in a parked car where
the heat from the sun can build up even though the outside temperature may
not seem too high. It is recommended that the FM band be used were ever
possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will
usually be obtained than on the MW or LW bands.
Mains adaptor (where included)
The AC adaptor for use with the R760 (Roberts type PU609) should provide
9 volts DC output at 300mA centre pin negative. Plug the adaptor into a mains
outlet.Plugtheleadfromtheadaptorinto the DC socket,locatedonthe cabinet
back. The battery will be automatically disconnected.
The mains adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply when not
in use.
Battery
Remove the battery cover on the base of the unit by unscrewing the retaining
stud using a suitable coin or screwdriver.
Fit the battery IEC 6F100 (PP9) to the connector.
Replace the battery cover and refit the stud.
Reducedpower, distortion, and a ‘stuttering’ soundareallsignsthat the battery
may need replacing.
If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended
that the battery is removed from the radio.
We would recommend for economy, this radio is used via a Mains
adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or
stand-by use only.
Battery Box (where included)
Where an IEC 6F100 (PP9) battery is not available, a battery box (Roberts
06600) suitable for 6 x IEC LR14 batteries may be used . Install 6 x IEC LR14
(C size) batteries into the battery box. Fit the battery box to the connector.

Radio Operation
Your radio is equipped with three wavebands to enable you to select the
programme of your choice. The FM band uses an external telescopic aerial
which should be fully extended and rotated for best reception. MW and LW
bands are received by an internal aerial which is directional. To achieve the
best reception it may be necessary to rotate the radio.
1. Switch on the receiver by rotating the VOLUME control clockwise
until a click is heard.
2. Select the required waveband using the waveband buttons. AM/FM
button should be up for AM(LW/MW), down for FM. LW/MW button
should be up for LW and down for MW.
3. Tune to the desired programme by adjusting TUNING control. On MW
and LW the tuning scale is marked in kilohertz (kHz) and on FM in
megahertz (MHz).
4. Adjust the volume control to the desired sound level.
5. To switch off the receiver rotate the volume control anti-clockwise
until a click is heard.
Headphones(notsupplied)
A 3.5mm mono socket is provided for use with either headphones or an
earpiece. Inserting a plug automatically mutes the internal loudspeaker.
