Power the radio

1. Installing the batteries, first turn battery cover fixture anti-clockwise to loosen and pull down the battery cover.

Note:

Before you insert the batteries, if you use non-rechargeable batteries, make sure the NiMH/Alkaline switch is switched to Alkaline position.

1. Insert 6 x C size (UM-2) batteries into the compartment. Ensure the batteries are completely inserted in accordance with the diagram shown. Close the battery cover and fasten the fixture by turning clockwise. 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 LCD display are all signs that the batteries need replacing or recharging (see below Charging the batteries). Run time of the radio on batteries varies strongly depending on the quality and capacity (mAh) of the batteries, temperature, volume level etc.

3. AC Operation

Before plugging the AC power cord into the AC socket, be sure the voltage is correct. If you have batteries in the radio and connect AC power cord into the AC socket, the batteries will automatically be disconnected. AC cable hook is designed to store the cord when the radio is not in use.

Charging the batteries

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

Note:

The radio 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 Ni/MH position. When the batteries are being charged, the red Charge LED will be on. Charging time can take up to approx. 10 hours depending on the battery capacity of the rechargeable batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the charged LED will be steady on green color.

Note:

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

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

1. Recharge the batteries in any case at least every 2 months.
2. Make sure the Battery Select switch next the battery compartment is set to the "CHARGE NiMH ON" position.
3. Put the batteries in the compartment whilst paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+ and -).
4. First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted, charge until they are full. This first charge may take longer than normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in one continuous, uninterrupted charge until batteries are full and to not recharge again whilst the batteries are still full.
5. New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of use (several charge – discharge cycles).
6. Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and do not use these batteries or a few of them for other purposes. This will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries. This can seriously damage the batteries and radio when recharged.
7. It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between 5 degrees C – 35 degrees C. In lower or higher temperatures full charge cannot be achieved.
8. Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from "empty" to "full" can take several hours, even up to 10 hours or more.
9. Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or heat sources.
10. It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-spray from time to time.
11. Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.

12. Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.

13. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.

14. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
15. Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
16. Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can vary with battery type used.
17. Batteries can become hot during charging.
18. In cold conditions the capacity of batteries will be much lower than when used at normal room temperature
19. Batteries (even when supplied with the radio), as being consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions of the radio.
20. It is advised to use Perfectpro rechargeable batteries as the radio and its charger were developed for use with these batteries.
