Battery operation

Using the weather alert radio for the first time

1.Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pressing the catch.

Note:

Before you insert the batteries, if you use non-rechargeable batteries, make sure the NiMH/Alkaline switch which located inside the battery compartment is switched to Alkaline position. If you use rechargeable batteries, make sure to switch NiMH/Alkaline switch to NiMH position.

2.Insert four UM-3 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.

3.Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with correct polarity as shown on the rear cabinet. Replace the battery cover.

4.Reduced power, distortion, “stuttering sound” and low battery capacity indicator flashing on the display are all signs that the batteries need replacing.

5.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.

Using the AC power adaptor

The AC power adaptor required for this unit should be 9 volts DC at 0.5 A center pin positive.

Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket on the left side of the radio. Plug the adaptor into a standard mains socket outlet.

Whenever the adaptor is used, the batteries are

automatically disconnected. The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the main supply when not in use.
