The actual battery life may vary depending on the circumstance of the unit. Knowing when to replace the batteries When the batteries become weak, “E” flashes on the display. When the batteries are completely exhausted, “E” lights on the display and the power is turned off. When “E” lights, replace all the batteries with new ones. When you replace the batteries Replace the batteries within 60 seconds while the power is turned off. If you do not perform any operation for 60 seconds, the clock and standby settings will be deleted. However, the stations you preset will remain. After the batteries are replaced, press ON/OFF to turn the indication off. Using Other Power Sources The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when the AC power adaptor is connected to the DC IN 4.5 V jack for external power source. House current Connect the AC power adaptor (not supplied) to the DC IN 4.5 V jack firmly, and plug it into a wall outlet. Notes on external power sources •When operating the unit with an external power source, do not remove the batteries. These batteries serve to backup settings stored to memory. Since batteries discharge in this case as well, we recommend changing them about once a year. •Before connecting and disconnecting the external power source plug, be sure to turn off the radio. Otherwise, “E” may be displayed. When this occurs, turn on the radio so that “E” disappears. •When operating the unit with the internal batteries, remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet and the DC IN 4.5 V jack. Make sure that the plug of the external power source is disconnected before operating the unit. •Use a commercially-available AC power adaptor* (rated output voltage/current: 4.5 V DC/700 mA). Do not use any other AC power adaptor. •Depending on the AC power adaptor, noise may be heard while using the unit. Refer to the operating instructions of the AC power adaptor. *The voltage of power supply is different depending on the country. Please buy an AC power adaptor in the country where the radio is to be used. Setting the Clock Set the time when the radio is turned off.
