PULL GB 2025 +

IMPORTANT:

The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling center. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Power the Radio

A. Battery Operation

1. Installing the batteries, first pull out the battery compartment locker to release battery compartment following the diagram shown on the right. There are the main battery pack compartment and the back up battery compartment.

Note:

Before you insert the batteries, if you use non-rechargeable batteries, make sure the NiMH/NiCad/Alkaline switch which located inside the battery compartment is switched to Alkaline position. If you use rechargeable batteries, make sure to switch NiMH/NiCad/Alkaline switch to NiMH/NiCad position.

1. Insert 6 x D size (UM-1) battery into the compartment. Ensure the battery is inserted in accordance with the diagram shown on page 10.

2. Insert 2 x AA size (UM-3) battery into the back up battery compartment.

Note:

The back up battery is for time and memory station back up during power failure. It is suggested to replace the back up battery every six months to avoid battery leakage.

Run time of the radio on batteries varies strongly depending on quality and capacity (mAh) of the batteries, temperature, volume level etc.

1. Close the battery cover and lock the compartment locker back into place.

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. Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering sound” or low battery sign ☐ flashing on the display are all signs that the batteries need replacing or recharging.

IMPORTANT:

The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling center. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

B. AC Operation

Before plug the AC power cord into the AC socket, be sure the voltage is correct. If you have batteries in the radio and connect the AC power cord into the AC socket, the batteries will automatically be disconnected.

5.

Charging the batteries

Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering sound” or low battery sign “☐” flashing on the display are all the signs that the batteries need to be recharged if you use rechargeable batteries to power the radio.

Note:

The batteries can be charged only when the radio is off.

Connect the AC power cord into the AC socket to charge the batteries. Be sure the battery type switch is set to MiMH / NiCad position.

GB

When the batteries are being charged, the LED charging indicator above the STANDBY button will turn red. It will turn green when the batteries are fully charged.

Charging time can take up to approx. 10 hours depending on the capacity of the rechargeable batteries. Only charge batteries in room temperature between 5 degrees C and 35 degrees C. In lower or higher temperature full charge cannot be achieved and there may be damage to the batteries or the receiver.

Charge new batteries fully the first time before first use. This can take longer depending on the capacity of the rechargeable batteries.

Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity. Do not use damaged or leaking batteries.

Charging the batteries in Car

The batteries can also be charged in the radio using a 12V car (cigarette lighter) adaptor, voltage range 10-14V, maximum current of 2A, DC dimension 2.0 mm inner diameter with positive pole and 6.3 mm outer diameter with negative pole. To charge, connect the adaptor to the car (cigarette lighter) socket and DC In socket located on the side of the receiver.
