BATTERIES
1) To install batteries, remove the battery
compartment cover on the back of the unit.
Locate the battery charge switch (inside the
middle well of the radio's battery compartment)
and set the switch to the "Al" (down) position
for "AA" alkaline batteries or the "Ni" (up)
position for "AA" Ni-Cad batteries.
NOTE: Proper switch setting protects from
accidental charging of non-rechargeable
batteries.
2) Once battery charge switch is in the correct
position, insert either 9 "AA" alkaline batteries
or Ni-Cad batteries. Follow polarity diagrams
embossed in the battery compartment.
3) Check the battery condition by turning the
power off/on-volume control clockwise. If the
battery low LED is on, the batteries need to be
recharged or replaced immediately.
NOTE: Ni-Cad batteries are typically in a "dis-
charge" condition when they are purchased. If
you are using nickel cadmium batteries, you will
need to charge them before operating your radio.
The best way to accomplish this is to use Maxon's
DV-7210 AC/DC Wall Charger and charge them all
at once while installed in the unit. Plug the AC/DC
wall charger into the radio's 12V DC power/charge
jack. The charging time will be 14-16 hours.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the radio while the
batteries are being charged. DO NOT attempt to
recharge alkaline or carbon zinc batteries.
