• Exhausted batteries are to be removed.
• Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.
• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
• Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries
may explode or leak.
Low Battery Warning and Auto Shutoff
When the 6 “AA” main power batteries that operate
the radio and iPod ® become too weak for normal
operation the Low Battery Indicator will begin to flash
in the display.
This is your indication that it's time to replace the 6 “AA” batteries. Approximately
90 seconds after the Low Battery Indicator begins flashing the system will shut off
automatically.
NOTE: The Low Battery Warning Indicator only applies to the 6 “AA” main
power batteries that operate the radio and the iPod ® , not the 2 “AA” back-up
batteries for the clock and tuner memories. The 6 main power batteries should
be changed when the low battery warning indicator begins flashing. The 2
back-up batteries should be changed approximately every 12 months.
