Battery operation

We recommend for economy that the Stream 105 is used via theAC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional use only. Inserting the adaptor plug into the DC input socket will disconnect the batteries.

If using batteries, only alkaline types should normally be used. Battery life will vary according to the use of the radio, but between 15 and 20 hours should be possible.

To install batteries in your radio follow these steps.

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert six LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.	1
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity	1
as shown next to the battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Reduced power, audio distortion or the radio switching itself off are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.

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.

Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio but must be charged outside the radio using an external charger. Note that commercially available C size NiMH cells have a capacity which is only a fraction of that of C size Alkaline cells and so they will power the radio for only a few hours before needing recharging. Never mix batteries of different types, capacities or brands in 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.
