PREPARATION
SUPPLYING POWER
Using Internal Battery Power
When you use batteries, your radio requires four AA batteries for opera-
tion. It also uses two AAA batteries for clock and memory station backup.
We recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552
(for AA) and 23-555 (for the AAA size).
Caution:
Always use fresh batteries of the required size and recommend-
ed type.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow
and remove the cover.
2. Put the two AAA batteries into the
battery compartment on top of the
attached ribbon, as indicated by
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
inside the compartment.
3. Put the four AA batteries into the
battery compartment as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked outside and above the
compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
If the radio operates erratically or does not receive strong FM stations, re-
place the AA batteries. Replace the AAA batteries about every six
months.
Caution:
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
