Battery Operation

1. Remove the battery cover on the rear by pushing the battery door in and downwards.
2. Insert four LR14 (C size) batteries, ensuring correct polarity as shown inside the compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. Signs of low batteries include reduced power, distortion, and a 'stuttering' sound.
4. Remove batteries if the radio will not be used for an extended period.

For economy, use the mains power whenever possible. Battery operation is recommended for occasional or stand-by use.

IMPORTANT: Do not expose batteries to excessive heat. Dispose of used disposable batteries at a suitable recycling centre. Do not incinerate batteries.

Mains Operation

1. Place the radio on a flat surface.
2. Plug the mains lead into the mains socket on the rear of the radio, ensuring it is fully inserted.
3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on the wall socket.

IMPORTANT: The mains plug is the primary means of disconnecting the radio from the mains supply. Ensure the mains socket remains accessible during normal use. To fully disconnect, remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
