Battery operation
1. Remove the battery cover located on the rear of the unit by pushing the
battery cover in and downwards in the direction shown by the arrow.
2. Insert six LR20 (D 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. The alarm clock function may be used when the radio is powered from
batteries (see page 19).
5. 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.
Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio but
must be charged outside the radio using an external charger. Note that readily
available D size NiMH cells have a capacity which is only a small fraction of
that of D size Alkaline cells and so they will power the radio for only a few hours
before needing recharging. 1HYHUPL[EDWWHULHVRIGLIIHUHQWW\SHVFDSDFLWLHV

whenever possible with battery operation for occasional use only.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as

taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account should batteries be disposed
of by incineration.
Caution: Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger of
explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.
Using the buttons
Most operations on the radio are performed by a simple short press of a button. A few operations require a longer press of a button. In this case the
instructions will tell you to apply a long press, and the button should be held down for 2 or 3 seconds, until the radio has responded. An example of this
is applying a long press to the Preset button to set a preset see page 14. When navigating the menus it is generally possible to go back by pressing
the Menu button.

IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the
product to the mains supply. The mains socket and any multi-way mains block
used for the product must remain accessible during normal use. In order to
disconnect the product from the mains, the mains adaptor should be removed
from the mains socket completely.
Use only the mains adaptor provided with the product, or a genuine replacement
provided by Roberts Radio. The use of alternative adaptors will invalidate the
guarantee.
