G5 OWNER’S MANUAL

4GETTING STARTED continued

At some point in their life cycle, all rechargeable batteries lose their ability to charge. When this occurs, it may be all four batteries at once, or only one of them. When this occurs, replace them all, not one at a time. Never mix old rechargeable batteries with new and always start with four, fresh, new Ni-MH batteries.

CAUTION! Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!

5 BASIC RADIO OPERATION

BEFORE USING THE G5

Assure that it is powered with the AC adapter or batteries. Assure that it is unlocked. See lock button instructions below.

Place the DX/LOCAL switch (46), on the left side of the G5, to the DX position.

TURNING THE G5 ON AND OFF

The G5 is turned on and off with a quick, short press of the POWER/ SLEEP button (1).

USING THE SLEEP TIMER FEATURE

The sleep timer feature enables the G5 to play for a specified number of minutes (00-99), then shut off. The sleep timer feature can be activated and programmed with the G5 turned on or off. Note that in sleep mode, the radio plays and the sleep symbol (26) appears in the display. There are two methods to activate and program the sleep timer. With either method, the sleep symbol (26) appears in the display after the sleep time is set.
