Battery operation using rechargeable batteries
(also see page 72)
1. Slide the battery cover located underneath the unit in the direction of the arrow and lift
upwards.
2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the NiMH position (as shown).
3. Insert six identical Rechargeable LR6 (AA size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown on the
battery compartment cover. Then replace the cover. The radio is designed to be used with
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.
4. Plug the mains adaptor into your radio and then plug the adaptor into the mains.
5. The battery indicator will flash green indicating the batteries are charging. The display will
show the status of battery charging
Under some conditions the charging indicator may switch off after flashing only briefly.
This may happen if the batteries are already freshly charged, or if the radio detects that
you may be attempting to recharge alkaline batteries. In these cases the charging will be
stopped.
6. When charging is completed the charging indicator will show a steady green and a green
'Battery Full' indicator will be displayed. If the charge process stops after a short while this
may be due to a faulty battery. In this case the charging indicator will show red and a red
'Battery Fail' indicator will be displayed. You can then press the Info button to show the
individual battery status. The faulty battery will be marked with a red cross. The numbers
1 to 6 for each battery correspond to the numbers marked in each battery position. If this
happens try charging the batteries a second time after a few minutes. If the charge failure
is repeated, then it is likely that the batteries are old and should be replaced. The individual
battery status is not shown while charging or if the charging is successful.
Note: You should never attempt to recharge alkaline batteries in the radio. Attempted recharging of alkaline batteries can be dangerous.
• Important: when using rechargeable batteries the battery switch must be placed in the NiMH position. Batteries will only be charged
when the radio is switched off and connected to the AC adaptor.
• When the batteries are exhausted, the low battery indicator will show red for a short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible
to switch the radio back on until the batteries are recharged, or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.
• If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
For further details on the use of rechargeable batteries
. The batteries will be fully charged in 5 - 7 hours.
