Please handle with care. The leather-cloth finish may be susceptible to damage 

if mistreated. Avoid all contact with any abrasive material, chemical substances

Battery operation

1  Remove the battery cover located underneath the radio by applying pressure 

to the catch in the direction shown by the arrow and then lifting up the cover.

2  Insert 4 x AA size 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. Replace the battery cover.

3  The low battery indicator lighting, reduced power, 

distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all 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.

 

We recommend for economy that the radio is used via the AC adaptor whenever 

possible with battery operation for occasional or standby use only.

 

Caution:

 Replace batteries only with the same or equivalent type. Danger of 

explosion if the batteries are incorrectly replaced.

The name plate is located underneath the radio.

Please read the safety leaflet provided 

before using batteries.

A 3.5mm 

Headphone socket

 located on the top left hand corner of your radio 

is provided for use with headphones. Inserting a plug automatically mutes the 

internal loudspeaker. Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can 

vary widely. We therefore recommend setting the volume to a low level before 

connecting headphones to the radio.

Connect a stereo or mono audio source to the 

Auxiliary input

 socket. Press 

and release the 

Mode 

button until AUX IN mode is selected. Adjust the volume. 

Note that audio will be played in mono through the speaker and in stereo 

through stereo headphones.
