Battery operation
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit by
sliding the cover downwards. Open the battery compartment door.
Note:
Before you insert the batteries, if you use non-rechargeable batteries,
make sure the NiMH/NiCad/Alkaline switch which located on the side of
the unit is switched to OFF. If you use rechargeable batteries,
make sure to switch NiMH/NiCad/Alkaline switch to ON.
2. Insert two LR6 (AA size) batteries into the space in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity
as shown on the rear of your radio. Close the battery
compartment door.
3. When the battery capacity drops below a certain level the low battery
indicator will light. When you see this indicator you should replace
the batteries as soon as it is convenient to do so. Reduced power,
distortion and a “stuttering” sound are also signs that the batteries
may need replacing.

4. 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 DPR-65 is used via the
mains adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for
occasional use only.
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 center. On no account should batteries be
disposed of by incineration.
Note:
The batteries can be charged only when the radio is off. Connect the
mains adaptor into the DC jack socket to charge the batteries. Be sure
the battery type switch is set to ON. Charge new batteries fully the first
time before first use. This can take longer depending on the capacity of
the rechargeable batteries.
Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
Do not use damaged or leaking batteries.

2. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the left hand
side of your radio.
3. Plug the adaptor into a mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is
used with the radio, it will take power from the mains rather than from
the batteries.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the
radio when not in use.
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
adaptor socket outlet completely.
Lock switch
The lock switch is used to prevent unintentional operation of your radio.
1. Set the Lock switch located on the side of your radio to the “Lock”
position and the power and all other buttons will be disabled.

suitcase or travel bag.
2. To release the lock, slide the Lock switch down to the “Unlock”
position .
IMPORTANT:
‘Key Locked’ will show on the display if pressing the buttons when the
