POWER SUPPLY

AC operation

Before plugging the AC/DC adaptor into the AC socket, be sure the voltage is correct.
Note:
In order to disconnect the unit from the mains completely, the AC adaptor should be removed from the mains socket completely.
In case of malfunction due to electrostatic discharge, remove and reconnect the power supply.
Note:
Never use the AC/DC adaptor in rainy or moist conditions to prevent short circuit or moist from entering the radio. Under
those conditions only use battery power and keep the rubber cover closed.

Battery operation

1. To open the battery compartment, first remove the rubber foot at the bottom of the apparatus by turning it in anti-clockwise direction.
2. Loosen the screw of the door by unscrew it in anti-clockwise direction.
3. Insert 6 x AM3/AA/LR6 NiMH or alkaline batteries with the correct polarity into the compartment. Close the battery door and
make sure the screw is fastened.
Close rubber foot well to prevent moist or dust from entering the compartment by turning it in clockwise direction onto the unit.
4. When you choose to use NiMH batteries, switch the battery select button to NiMH/On. The radio will charge the batteries when
it is connected to AC power. When the battery is being charged, the battery icon will flash on the display.
5. When you choose to use alkaline batteries, switch the battery select button to alkaline / Off.
6. If the unit is not to be used for any extended period of time, it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
The approximate power level of the batteries is displayed in the LCD display of the radio by the battery icon (4 levels in total). When
the power level is very low the indication "Battery Low!" appears and the battery symbol flashes on the display. The batteries should
then be recharged or replaced soon to continue normal operation of the radio.

Notes:
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Batteries should not be disposed of by incineration and with household waste.
Disposable batteries should be taken to a suitable recycling centre if possible.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
1. Set the charge switch next the battery compartment to the "charge on NiMH" position.
2. Put the batteries in the compartment whilst paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries.
3. First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted, charge until they are full.
This first charge will take longer than normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in one continuous,
uninterrupted charge until batteries are full and not recharge if the batteries are still full.
4. New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of use (several charge – discharge cycles).
5. Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and do not use these
batteries or a few of them for other purposes. This will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries. This can
seriously damage the batteries and radio when recharged.
6. It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between 5 degrees C – 35 degrees C.
In lower or higher temperatures full charge can not be achieved.
7. Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from "empty" to "full" can take several hours.
8. Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or heat sources.
9. It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-spray from time to
time.
10. Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
11. Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
12. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
13. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
14. Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
15. Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can vary with battery type used.
16. In cold conditions capacity of batteries will be lower than when used at normal room temperature
17. Batteries, being consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions of the radio.
