Battery operation

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit by sliding the cover
downwards. Open the battery compartment door.
Note:
Before you insert the batteries, check the NiMH/Alkaline switch position. If you
use non-rechargeable batteries, make sure the NiMH/Alkaline switch which located
inside the battery compartment is switched to Alkaline position. If you use rechargeable
batteries, make sure to switch NiMH/Alkaline switch to NiMH position.
2. Insert two LR6 (AA size) batteries into the space in the compartment. Ensure the
batteries are inserted in accordance with the diagram shown. Close the battery
compartment door.
3. When the battery capacity drops below a certain level the low battery indicator will light.
When you see this indicator you should replace the batteries as soon as it is convenient
to do so. Reduced power, distortion and a "stuttering" sound are also signs that the
batteries may need replacing.
4. 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.

Charging the batteries

Make sure the radio is switched off and connected to the power source.
When the battery charge indicator LED flashes green, this indicates the batteries are

LED shows steady green light when the battery charging process is complete.
Note:
Duration for charging your batteries fully can vary according to the mAh capacity of the
batteries. Higher mAh batteries require a longer charging time.
