BATTERY INSTALLATION
1) Remove the battery compartment cover on
the back of the unit. Locate the battery charge
switch (inside the middle well of the radio's
battery compartment) and set the switch
to the "Al" (down) position for AA alkaline
batteries or the "Ni" (up)position for AA
Ni-Cad batteries. NOTE: Proper switch
setting protects from accidental charging
of non-rechargeable batteries.
2) Once the battery charge switch is in the correct
position, insert either 9 new AA alkaline or
Ni-Cad batteries. DO NOT mix battery types.
Follow the polarity diagrams embossed in the
battery compartment.
3) Check the battery condition by turning the
off/on-volume control clockwise. If the battery
low ("BATT") icon shows on the display, the
batteries need to be recharged or replaced
immediately.
NOTE: Ni-Cad batteries are typically in a "dis-
charge" condition when they are purchased. If
you are using nickel cadmium batteries, you will
need to charge them before operating your radio.
The best way to accomplish this is to use Maxon's
DV-7210 AC/DC Wall Charger and charge them all
at once while installed in the unit. Plug the AC/DC
wall charger into the radio's 12V DC power/charge
jack. The charging time will be 14-16 hours.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the radio while
the batteries are being charged. DO NOT
attempt to recharge alkaline or carbon zinc
batteries.
