USING AN AC ADAPTER (not included)
Once plugged in, the AC adapter acts as a charger, charging the
internal Ni-MH battery pack. Charge it for 8 hours to achieve a
full charge.
1. Plug the adapter into the DC 4.5 V socket. If the socket for
the AC adapter on the case of the radio is labeled 5, ignore
this; it should be 4.5V.

the DYNAMO-ADAPTER position.

100mA current capability. To order the correct AC adapter call the
toll free number shown at the beginning of this manual, ask for
