Battery operation using alkaline batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the
cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert 6 x AA ( UM3, LR6 ) alkaline batteries into the spaces in
the compartment. Take care to ensure the batteries are inserted
with correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Slide the battery switch to the Alkaline position and 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.
Reduced power, distortion and a “ stuttering “ sound are all signs
that the batteries may need replacing.
If the radio is not to be used for any extended of time, it is recom-
mended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
We would suggest for economy that the radio is used via the sup-
plied AC power adaptor whenever possible, with battery operation
for occasional or stand-by use only. If extended listening using an-
ticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is suggested.

LED will stop ashing.
Important:
when using rechargeable batteries, the battery switch must be
placed in the Rechargeable position. Batteries will only be charged
when the radio is switched off and connected to the AC adaptor.
6. Reduced power, distortion and a “ stuttering “ sound are all signs
that the batteries may need recharging. Charge LED will be

during over time with repeated use. The battery icon shows the re-
maining battery life on the LCD screen when the radio is turned on.
In addition, the calculation of charging time is based on the capac-
ity of the rechargeable battery and charging current power output
of the charger. The two examples in the below table are for your
