INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your radio is powered by four C batteries. For
the longest operation, we recommend alkaline
batteries (not supplied), such as Radio Shack
Cat. No. 23-551.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Press the two latches on the battery com-
partment cover and pull it off in the direc-
tion of the arrows.

2. Place four C batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked in the compartment.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Never mix fresh and old batteries, bat-
teries of different types (standard, alka-
line, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
• Never leave dead or weak batteries in
the radio. They can leak chemicals that
can damage the radio.
• If you do not plan to use the radio, or if
you are using the power cord, for a
month or more, remove the batteries.
3. Replace the cover.
4. Set
to

When the sound weakens, replace the batter-
ies.
