Charging the radio
This unit features a built in 850mAH Lithium rechargeable
battery to power the radio.
Before operating the radio for the first time please fully
charge the battery with a supplied 5V/500 mA AC adaptor.
Carefully insert the mini-usb plug into the DC IN socket on the
rear of your radio. A red dot on the mini-usb plug indicates the
upside of the mini-usb plug. This red dot is also indicated above
the mini-usb socket. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains
outlet and the radio will begin charging the built in battery.
The LED charging indicator next to the DC IN socket will shine
bright red showing charging in progress. This LED indicator will
shine faint when the battery is fully charged. The radio can only
be charged with radio off. Charging time is approx. 4 hours.
The battery life is approx. 4 to 0 hours* listening through
the speaker and approx 6 to 5 hours* with headphones.
Reduced power, distortion, 'stuttering' sounds or battery power
indicator in "low"
are all signs that the battery needs to be
recharged. Please note that the battery power icon does not
display on the LCD when charging the battery.
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.
