bBattery Notes:

• When

or

displays, replace the batteries.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

If you do not plan to use your radio for a long period, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that may damage electronic parts.
