BATTERY OPERATION

This unit requires 4 "AA" batteries, not included. We recommend using a well-
known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
• Open the battery compartment by pressing on the "
and sliding it downward in the direction of the arrows.
• If necessary, fold the AC power cord as shown and push it back into the cord
storage compartment.
• Insert the 4 "AA" batteries into the battery compartment as shown. Be sure to
observe the polarity markings inside the compartment. If the batteries are
inserted incorrectly the unit will not work.
• Slide the battery cover upward until it snaps back into place.
Note: When the radio sound becomes weak or distorted it is time to change
the batteries. Replace all 4 batteries with fresh, new alkaline batteries at the
same time.
• Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed.
• Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.
• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
• Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries may explode
or leak.
