If you use the radio powered from the batteries, the battery light will be off until the batteries are exhausted. The battery light will then show red for a short while before the radio switches itself off. It does this in order that the batteries are not excessively discharged. This would otherwise damage the batteries and shorten their life.

If you use the radio powered from the mains with rechargeable batteries

fitted, the charging process is suspended until you switch off the radio. When you switch off the radio using its On/Off button charging will then resume. If the batteries have already been charged then they will only charge for a few more minutes before the charge indicator stops fl ashing.

If you only listen to your radio for short periods, you do not need to connect your radio to the mains to charge the batteries every time that you use it. However, if the radio is not to be used for a few weeks, then we recommend that the batteries are fully charged (charge light shows steady green) before the radio is put to one side.

If you intend not to use your radio for some months, then we recommend that the batteries are removed and put away, keeping them in a cool place out of reach of children, away from moisture and such that no metal object can contact the battery terminals.

With care, rechargeable batteries can last a long time and can operate for many hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. When your rechargeable batteries can no longer power your radio adequately, please dispose of them thoughtfully.

To avoid danger and risk of injury, please follow these guide lines

Improper use of batteries may result in leakage of fl uid, overheating or explosion. Battery fl uid is corrosive and may also be toxic. Battery

fluid can cause skin burns, can damage the eyes, and can be harmful if swallowed.

1.Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

2.Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate or dispose of batteries by burning.

3.Do not mix different battery types or old and new batteries. Always replace all the batteries at the same time.

4.Do not carry or store batteries such that metal objects may contact the end caps.

5.Remove batteries from the radio if they are worn out or if you are storing it for a long time.

6.Remove old or worn out batteries promptly, and recycle or dispose of them according to the regulations applicable to your location.

7.If a battery does leak, remove all batteries from the product, taking care to avoid directly touching the leaked fl uid. If the fl uid contacts skin or clothes wash with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer’s advice for clean up.
