Battery operation using alkaline batteries
(also see page 23)
1.Ensure your radio is disconnected from the mains supply and the aerial is fully retracted.
2.Open the battery cover on the base of the unit by using a fl at bladed screwdriver to loosen the screw securing the battery cover.
3.Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the Alkaline position.
4.Insert four LR20 (D size) Alkaline batteries into the spaces in the compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.
5.Close the battery cover and gently tighten the screw using a fl at bladed screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
•Important: when using Alkaline batteries the battery switch must be placed in the Alkaline position. Failure to do so could result in serious damage to the batteries or radio.
•When the batteries are exhausted, the charge/low battery indicator 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 replaced, 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.
•We would recommend for economy that the Expression is used via theAC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional use only. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.
