Battery operation
1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the battery door in
slightly and then downwards in the direction of the arrows in the diagram.
2. Insert six LR20 (D size) alkaline batteries into the battery compartment. Take care
to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the
battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. Short running time, reduced power, a dim display, and audio distortion are all signs
that the batteries may need replacing.
4. If the radio is not to be used on battery power for an extended period of time it is
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
We recommend for economy that the WM-202 is used with the AC adaptor whenever
possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only. Inserting the adaptor
plug into the DC IN socket will disconnect the batteries.
If using batteries, only alkaline types should normally be used. Battery life will vary
according to the use of the radio, but between 35 and 50 hours should be possible.
WiFi use takes more power than DAB listening, for example.
Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio but must be
charged outside the radio using an external charger. Note that commercially available D
size NiMH cells have a capacity which is only a small fraction of that of D size Alkaline
cells and so they will power the radio for only a few hours before needing recharging.
Never mix batteries of different types, capacities or brands in the radio.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,
fi re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable
recycling centre. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
