Battery operation using alkaline batteries
(also see page 23)
1. Ensure your radio is disconnected from the mains supply and the
aerial is fully retracted.
2. Open the battery cover on the base of the unit by using a at bladed
screwdriver to loosen the screw securing the battery cover.
3. Slide the switch inside the battery compartment to the Alkaline
position.
4. Insert four LR14 (C size) Alkaline batteries into the spaces in the
compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the
correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.
5. Close the battery cover and gently tighten the screw using a at bladed
screwdriver. Do not overtighten.
Important: when using Alkaline batteries the battery switch must
be placed in the Alkaline position. Failure to do so could result
in serious damage to the batteries or radio.
When the batteries are exhausted, the charge/low battery indicator
will show red for a short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It
may not be possible to switch the radio back on until the batteries are
replaced, or until the radio is connected to the mains adaptor.
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.
We would recommend for economy that the Vintage is used via the
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional
use only. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated, then the
use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.
