Excessive sound pressure on ear- and headphones could
impair the hearing ability. Higher setting that idle on the
equalizer leads to higher signal voltages on the output for ear
and headphones.
The power plug should be close to the radio, and easy to be
approached that during the emergency, to disconnect the power
from the radio, just unplug the power plug from the AC power
slot.
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, the disconnected device shall remain readily
operable.

Battery operation using alkaline batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit .
2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the Alkaline
position.
3. Insert 6 LR14 (C size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the
compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with
the correct polarity as shown on the back of the radio. Then replace
the battery cover.
Important:
● when using alkaline batteries the battery switch must be placed
in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result in serious
damage to the batteries or radio.
● When the batteries are exhausted, you can tell from the battery
life indicator on the top right corner of the display. The radio will
then switch itself off. It may not be possible to switch the radio
back on until the batteries are replaced, or until the radio is
connected to the mains adaptor.

● 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.
● We would recommend for economy that the unit is used via the
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional
or stand-by use only. If extended listening using batteries is
anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.

Battery operation using rechargeable batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit .
2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the NiMH position.
3. Insert 6 Rechargeable LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces
in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted
with the correct polarity as shown on the back of the radio. The
radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
rechargeable batteries.
4. Plug the mains adaptor into your radio and then plug the adaptor
into the mains.
5. The battery light will ash red indicating batteries are charging.
The battery light shows a steady red light when the battery
charging is complete.

GB

Important:
when using rechargeable batteries the battery switch must
be placed in the NiMH position. Batteries will only be charged
when the radio is switched off and connected to the AC
adaptor.
● When the batteries are exhausted, you can tell from the battery
life indicator on the top right corner of the display. Charging time
takes 8 hours depending on capacity (3500mAh) of the rechargeable
batteries in use. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be
possible to switch the radio back on until the batteries are recharged,
or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.
● 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, re 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.
