Replacing the fuse of the Battery Charger
The battery charger uses a fuse as a safety device, which protects the radio from
over current or excessive surging during the charging process. The fuse will blow if
something goes wrong with the charger or the battery (for example, if the battery has
been damaged). In case the charger refuses to charge the battery or the radio becomes
inoperative with batteries, you should check and replace the battery and/or the fuse.
1. Turn off the radio and unplug the AC power cord from the mains power socket.
2. To open the battery compartment, turn the battery cover fixtures counter clockwise
to loosen and pull down the battery cover.
3. Check the batteries carefully and make sure all of them are installed with correct
polarity (+ and -) and replace the batteries if there is any damage. Refer
to the section of "IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES" for more detailed advises.
4. Locate the fuse holder in the battery compartment. The cover of the fuse holder has
the word "FUSE" on it.
5. To remove the fuse cover, use a slot head screwdriver and turn the screwdriver
counter clockwise while pressing down the fuse cover. The fuse cover should be
turned only when it is pressed down. Do not use too much force when turning the
fuse cover as this can cause damage.
6. Replace the blown fuse with an identical new one. The fuse rating is marked beside
the fuse holder (T2.5AL 250V). Do not use fuse of any other type.
7. Replace the fuse cover using a slot head screwdriver. Turn the screwdriver
clockwise carefully while pressing down the fuse cover.
Note:
If the new fuse blows again as soon as the radio is connected to AC power or when
l
you start using the radio, it indicates a problem with either the radio or the battery.
Have them checked at a dealer or qualified service person.
The fuse also protects Alkaline batteries from over current.

Warning:
Danger of explosion if a battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
Always make sure the Battery charger switch is set to the correct position.
An Alkaline battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt charging Alkaline batteries.
Do not mix up different battery types.
Do not mix up charged and uncharged batteries.
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.
