Battery Operation
This unit requires 4 “AA” batteries, not included. We recommend using a well-
known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
1.) Open the battery compartment by pressing on the “ ” marks on the cover
and sliding it downward in the direction of the arrows.
2.) If necessary, fold the AC power cord as shown and push it back into the cord
storage compartment.
3.) Insert the 4 “AA” batteries into the battery compartment as shown. Be sure to
observe the polarity markings inside the compartment. If the batteries are
inserted incorrectly the unit will not work.
4.) Slide the battery cover upward until it snaps back into place.
When the radio sound becomes weak or distorted it is time to change the batteries.
Replace all 4 batteries with fresh, new alkaline batteries at the same time. Do not
mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries together.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:
1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and Carbon-Zinc) or old batteries
with fresh ones.
4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent
damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and rupture.
