Roberts Radio R737 - Manual (Page 4)

General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not leave
the unit where excessive heat could cause damage such as in a parked car
where the heat from the sun can build up even though the outside
temperature may not seem too high. It is recommended that the FM band
be used were ever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom
from interference will usually be obtained than on the MW or LW bands.
Mains adaptor
Plug the adaptor into a 13A mains outlet. Plug the lead from the adaptor into
the DC socket (22). The battery will be automatically disconnected.
The mains adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply when not
in use.
Batteries
Remove the battery cover on the base by releasing the catches and lifting
the cover up and out. Insert six IEC R14 (C size) cells into the compartment.
Replace the battery cover.
The radio switching off and the low battery indicator (d) showing in the
display are all signs that the batteries need replacing. Battery replacement
should be carried out within 2 minutes otherwise clock/memory settings will
be lost.
In order to maintain the clock and memory functions it is important that
batteries are fitted at all times.
We would recommend for economy, that the R737 is used via the
Mains adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occa-
sional or stand-by use only.
Aerials
On FM fully extend the telescopic aerial (13), angle and rotate for best
reception.
On MW and LW stations are received on the built in ferrite rod aerial, rotate
the entire radio to the position giving best reception.
The telescopic aerial is inoperative on MW and LW.
Headphones
A 3.5mm socket (1) is provided for use with either stereo headphones or an
earpiece. Inserting a plug into this socket automatically mutes the internal
loudspeaker.
