Page 22: Rechargeable Batteries
A Few Words about Batteries… Your Roberts ecologic 1 radio has been designed to use a choice of power sources. You may plug it into the mains using the supplied high- effi ciency adaptor, or for listening away from the mains you may use either alkaline or rechargeable batteries. - Page 23 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.
