Battery operation using rechargeable batteries cont.
•When the batteries are exhausted, the charge/low battery indicator light will show red for a short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible to switch the radio back on until the batteries are recharged, or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.
•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, fire 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.
Using the AC adaptor
1.Insert the adaptor plug into the DC in socket on the rear of your radio.
2.Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is plugged in to the radio and switched on at the mains the batteries are automatically disconnected. If the adaptor is plugged in to the radio but not switched on then the radio will run from the batteries if fitted.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the radio when not in use.
•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.
