Batteries
Open the battery cover (5) located on the rear of the R972 by sliding it in the direction shown by the arrow. Insert two AAA (LR03) size batteries into the compartment. Ensure that batteries are inserted in accordance with the diagram shown alongside the battery compartment.
Note: Batteries should be replaced when the low battery indicator
( 
) appears in the display.
During battery replacement ensure that the Lock switch (14) is in the up (lock) position. This will prevent loss of memory presets during battery replacement. Battery replacement should be completed within two minutes to prevent loss of stations stored in memory presets.
If the radio is not to be used for long periods set the Lock switch (14) to the up (lock) position, this will reduce power drain on batteries during storage.
