^Preparation
Power sources
Using the receiver on batteries
Inserting the batteries
Insert four size AA (R6) batteries with correct polarity as
shown in the illustration.
Wait at least 3 seconds before turning on the power on the
receiver.
For longer battery life, we recommend the use of alkaline
batteries.
Note
•When using the receiver on batteries, unplug the AC power
adaptor or the car battery cord from the DC IN 6 V jack on the
receiver, if plugged in.
When to replace the batteries
When the batteries become weak, the sound becomes
weak and distorted. cXt will flash in the display. When the
batteries become exhausted, <Xi will light up and the
power will go off.
Replace all four batteries with new ones when do starts to
flash.
Notes
•Turn off the power when replacing the batteries.
•After removing the old batteries, install the new ones within 20
seconds. Otherwise, the present status (the current reception
mode) of the receiver will be lost and will return to the factory
preset. The frequencies stored in the preset memory are
unaffected.
• rXi will disappear from the display when you turn on the power
with the new batteries.
•When running the receiver on AC power or when you are not
using the receiver for an extended period of time, remove the
batteries to avoid battery discharge and damage to the receiver
from battery leakage.
Battery life
10 hours using four LR6 Sony alkaline batteries (with the
squelch open continuously for 4 hours a day).
