Using Batteries

You can power the radio with four D bat- teries (not supplied). For the best perfor- mance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan- dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.Be sure POWER is set to OFF, then set AC/DC on the back of the radio to DC.

2.Press down the tabs on the battery compartment cover and pull them out to remove the cover.

3.Place four D batteries into the com- partment on top of the attached rib- bon and according to the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

4. Replace the cover.

Replace the radio’s batteries when:

The needle on the TUNING/BAT- TERY meter points toward the left of the green shaded (lower) portion of the meter, when POWER ON/OFF is set to ON and RADIO/P.A. is set to P.A. (see “Reading the TUNING/ BATTERY Meter” on Page 11).

Reception weakens or the sound distorts.

The radio does not operate properly.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Cautions: If you do not plan to use the radio with batteries for a week or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Note: To easily remove the batteries, pull up on the attached ribbon.
