flashes and “E” appears in the display .

should be completed within three minutes to prevent loss of
stations stored in memory presets.

to the “Lock” position, this will reduce power drain on the batteries
during storage .

the batteries may need replacing.

recommended that the battery is removed from the radio.

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.
