Inserting batteries
1. Open the battery cover on the rear of your
radio by sliding the cover in the direction of
the arrow.
2. Insert two LR6 (AA size) batteries into the
spaces in the compartment. Take care to
ensure all batteries are inserted with the
correct polarity as shown. Close 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 an 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.

Headphones
A 3.5mm headphone socket located on the
left hand side of your radio is provided for
use with either headphones or an earpiece.
Inserting a 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.
It is also recommended to reduce the volume
before unplugging your headphones.
IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure
from earphones and headphones can cause
hearing loss.

To prevent possible hearing
damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods.

General
Do not allow this radio to be exposed to water,
steam or sand. It is recommended to avoid using
or storing the product at extremes of temperature.
Avoid leaving the unit in cars, on window sills,
in direct sunlight etc.
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 MW or LW bands.
The name plate is located on the rear of your
radio.
