Battery operation using alkaline batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by sliding the catch.
2. Insert six C size (UM2, LR 14) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Ensure
all batteries are inserted with the 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 the signs that the batteries may
need replacing.
● 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 radio is used via the AC adaptor whenever possible
with battery operation for occasional or standby 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 rear of the unit by pushing the catch.
2. Insert six Rechargeable LR 14 (C size, UM 2) 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. The radio is designed to be used with Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable
batteries.
3. Slide the battery switch to the NiMH position and then replace the battery cover.
4. Plug the supplied power adaptor into the radio and connect to the mains.
5. The Charge LED will ash green indicating battery are charging. Batteries will be fully charged
in around 8 hours. The Charge LED will show a steady green when the batteries are fully charged.
● 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.
● Reduced power, distortion or your radio switching off by itself are all signs that the batteries may
need charging.
● 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 center.
The batteries shouldn’t be disposed by incineration.

automatically disconnected.
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 to 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.
