Battery operation using alkaline batteries

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert six LR6 (AA size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the

 

compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the

1

correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.

3. Slide the battery switch to the Alkaline position and then replace the battery cover.

• 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.

•Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.

•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 RD-49 is used via the AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.
