Getting Started

Batteries or mains adaptor

The radio can be powered by batteries (not supplied), or by the mains adaptor (use only part number KG4A-12-850D, supplied). If you are going to use the mains adaptor all the time, you do not need to fit batteries. The radio saves all its settings when switched off, but it doesn’t need batteries to do this.

If you are using batteries, insert six ‘C’ size batteries, taking care to fit them the right way round, as shown here.
