Replacing the Batteries
• When the batteries become weak, the sound
becomes weak and distorted and "<Xi" flashes.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
When the batteries are completely exhausted,
the radio and the timer will turn off and "<Xi” ,
is displayed.
• Before replacing the batteries, make sure that
the radio is turned off.
• After replacing the batteries,-press RADIO ON •
and will disappear.
• Replace the batteries within a minute.
Otherwise, the memories for the clock and the
preset stations will be erased and ''AM 12:00"
or "0:00" will flash in the display the next time
the batteries are installed.
• To preserve clock and memory settings, keep
unexhausted batteries in the radio even when
you are not going to use the unit for a long
time. Replace the batteries with new ones in
about a year, since battery power is consumed
even in this condition.
