Battery operation
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the catch
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert four LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity
as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. Reduced power, distortion, and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing.
4. 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.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like.After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
Operation via an AC adaptor (not included)
The AC adaptor for use with the R9993 should provide 6 volts DC output
at 300mA, centre pin negative. (Adaptor not included)
1. Place your radio on a flat surface.
2. Plug the adaptor lead into the DC input socket located on the left
hand side end of your radio ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into
the socket. The batteries will be automatically disconnected.
3. Plug the adaptor into a wall socket and switch on.
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as a 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.

General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not leave
your radio 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 wherever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom
from interference will usually be obtained than on the MW or LW bands.

Headphones
1. A Headphone Socket (3.5mm) located on the right hand end of your
radio is provided for use with either headphones or an earpiece. Insert-
ing the headphone plug automatically mutes the internal loudspeaker.
Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely.
We therefore recommend setting the volume to a low level before
connecting headphones to the radio.
IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones
can cause hearing loss.
