Battery operation
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert four LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as
shown next to the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing.
4. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fi re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
