GUIDE
1
Open the battery cover by sliding it in the direction shown by the arrow.
2 Insert two LR03 (AAA) size batteries into the compartment. Ensure that batteries
are inserted in accordance with the diagram shown inside the battery compartment

Batteries should be replaced when the low battery indicator
flashes and ‘E’
appears on the display.

During battery replacement ensure that the radio is turned off and the
Lock switch
is in the ‘Lock’ position.
Battery replacement should be completed within three
minutes to prevent loss of stations stored in memory presets.
5 If the radio is not to be used for a long period, set the
Lock switch
to the ‘Lock’
position, this will reduce power drain on the batteries during storage. Reduced power,
distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.

the batteries are removed from the radio.
