4.The charge light will flash indicating batteries are charging. Batteries will be fully charged in around 7 hours.
•Important: when using rechargeable batteries the battery switch must be placed in the rechargeable position. Batteries will only be charged when the radio is switched off and connected to the AC adaptor.
•Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the batteries may need recharging.
•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 adaptor
The AC adaptor for use with the RD49 should provide 12 volts DC output at 500mA centre pin positive.
1.Insert the adaptor plug into the DC in socket on the left hand side of your radio.
2.Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is plugged in to the radio and switched on at the mains the batteries are automatically disconnected. If the adaptor is plugged in to the radio but not switched on then the radio will run from the batteries if fitted.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and the radio when not in use.
