Using the AC adaptor
Your solarDAB radio may be powered either by using an AC adaptor
(supplied) or by using solar power.
For prolonged life, the internal rechargeable NiMH battery pack requires
an external conditioning charge of 24 hours prior to fi rst use.
1. Place your radio on a fl at surface.
2. Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket located on the rear of your
radio.
3. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13 amp mains socket outlet. The
display will show the on charge indicator and the battery indicator will
be animated.
4. When the batteries are fully charged, the battery indicator should
show all segments without fl ashing. Remember to keep the adaptor
connected for a period of 24 hours for the initial charge in order to
ensure optimal conditioning of the batteries.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the
radio when not in use.
Note: The mains adaptor which is supplied with your radio is a high-
effi ciency type, designed to minimise energy consumption, whether the
radio is playing, charging its batteries, or switched off (in standby). Do not
use any other mains adaptor in place of the unit supplied. Such use will
invalidate your guarantee.
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the
radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain
accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the
mains completely, the mains adaptor should be removed from the mains
socket outlet completely.
