Using the AC adaptor
The SportsDAB4 features a built-in 1180mAH
rechargeable Lithium battery to power your radio.
Before operating the radio for the first time, ensure
that you fully charge the radio.
1. Place your radio on a flat surface. Carefully pull
back the protection cover and insert the adaptor
plug into the charging socket on the right hand
side of your radio.
2. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains
socket outlet. If the radio is switched on the
battery indicator will become animated showing
charging in progress. Note: If charging the radio
when the radio is switched off, the battery power
icon will not show on the display.
3. The radio will begin charging the built-in battery.
Charging time will take 3hours with the radio
switched off and 6hours if the radio is switched
on.
4. The battery power icon will flash whilst charging
and stop flashing when the radio is fully charged.
Reduced power, distortion, 'stuttering' sounds or
the battery power indicator low are all signs that
the battery needs to be recharged.

Note: The mains adaptor which is supplied with your
radio is a high efficiency type, designed to minimise
energy consumption, whether the radio is playing,
charging its battery or switched off. Do not use any
other mains adaptor in place of the unit supplied.
Such use will invalidate your guarantee.
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the 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.
The AC adaptor
should be
disconnected from
the mains supply
and the radio when
not in use.

Keylock function
The Keylock function is used to prevent
unintentional operation of your radio.
1. Set the Lock switch located on the top of
your radio to the 'Lock' position. The On/Off
and all other buttons will be disabled. This will
prevent accidental operation when your radio
is packed in a suitcase or travel bag. The lock
indicator ‘ ’ will show on the display.
2. To release the Lock switch, move the lock
switch to the 'Unlock' position.
