Battery Operation - Roberts Stream 207 Instruction Manual

Battery operation using alkaline batteries
(also see page 97 and 98)
1. Open the battery cover on the back of the unit by pushing the battery
door in slightly and then downwards in the direction of the arrow.
2. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the Alkaline position
(right).
3. Insert six LR14 (C size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the
compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the
correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Then replace
the battery cover.
• 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 replaced,
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.
• We recommend for economy that the Stream 207 is powered using the
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional
or stand-by use only. The use of WiFi technology in the radio can
signifi cantly affect battery life. If extended listening using batteries is
anticipated, then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.
• DAB and FM operating modes require less power than Internet radio
and the Music Player. Setting the "Keep Network Connected" option
to No will save power in DAB and FM modes (see page 20).

IMPORTANT:
When using alkaline batteries the battery switch must be placed
in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result in serious
damage to the batteries or radio.
Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fi re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
