Powering the radio

  1. Battery operationInstalling the batteries: first turn the battery cover fixture anti-clockwise to loosen and open the battery cover.Note:Before you insert the batteries, check the NiMH/Alkaline switch position. If you use non-rechargeable batteries, make sure the NiMH/Alkaline switch which located inside the battery compartment is switched to Alkaline position. If you use rechargeable batteries, make sure to switch NiMH/Alkaline GB switch to NiMH position.Insert 4 x C size (AM-2) batteries into the compartment.Ensure the batteries are inserted in accordance with the diagram shown.Close the battery compartment cover and fasten the fixture by turning clockwise.If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time, it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering sound” or low battery sign flashing on the display are all signs that the batteries need replacing or recharging.When playing on (rechargeable) batteries the output power is less compared to the output power when playing on AC mains power. Because of this the sound can be somewhat distorted at the highest volume settings.
  2. AC operationBefore you plug the AC power cord into the AC socket, make sure the voltage is correct. If you have batteries in the radio and use the AC power, the batteries will automatically be disconnected. AC power cord storage is designed to store the cord when the radio is not in use.

Charging the batteries

Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering” sound or low battery sign flashing on the LCD display are all signs that the batteries need replacing or recharging.

Note:The batteries can be charged both while the radio is powered on and powered off. Connect the AC power cord into the AC socket to charge the batteries. Be sure the NiMH/Alkaline switch is set to NiMH position. When the batteries are being charged, the Charge LED indicator will be flashing green. It can take up to approx. 7 hours to fully charge the batteries, depending on the battery capacity of the rechargeable batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, the Charge LED indicator will be steady green.During the charging process, if a battery is detected as faulty/damaged, the Charge LED indicator flashes red. The radio can detect which batteries are faulty and are causing the charging failure. (e.g. the picture at right indicates that Battery 4 is detected as faulty/damaged). When the radio indicates that one or more batteries are faulty, the batteries in question must be removed or replaced in order to stop the Charge LED indicator from blinking red.

Note:Charge new batteries fully the first time before first use. Duration for charging your batteries fully can vary according to the mAh capacity of the batteries. Higher mAh batteries require a longer charging time.

INSTALL ONLY PRE-CHARGED (TO THE SAME VOLTAGE LEVEL) NIMH BATTERIES WITH “LOW SELF-DISCHARGE” CHARACTERISTICS. USE OF ORIGINAL PERFECTPRO BATTERIES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

  1. Recharge the batteries in any case at least every 2 months.
  2. Make sure the NiMH/Alkaline battery switch inside the battery compartment is set to the “NiMH” position.
  3. Put the batteries in the compartment whilst paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+ and -).
  4. First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted, charge until they are full. This first charge may take longer than normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in one continuous, uninterrupted charge until batteries are full and to not recharge again whilst the batteries are still full.
  5. New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of use (several charge – discharge cycles).
  6. Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and do not use these batteries or a few of them for other purposes. This will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries. This can seriously damage the batteries and radio when recharged.
  7. It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between 5 degrees C – 35 degrees C. In lower or higher temperatures full charge cannot be achieved.
  8. Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from “empty” to “full” can take several hours, even up to 7 hours or more.
  9. Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or heat sources.
  10. It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-spray from time to time.
  11. Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
  12. Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
  13. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
  14. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
  15. Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
  16. Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can vary with battery type used.
  17. Batteries can become hot during charging.
  18. In cold conditions the capacity of batteries will be much lower than when used at normal room temperature.
  19. Batteries (even when supplied with the radio), as being consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions of the radio.
  20. It is advised to use Perfectpro rechargeable batteries as the radio and its charger were developed for use with these batteries.
  21. Batteries should not be disposed of by incineration and with household waste.
  22. Disposable batteries should be taken to a suitable recycling centre if possible.
