AA BATTERY OPERATION

The FR250 is designed to operate on three AA batteries (not
included). Best overall performance results with the use of alkaline or
lithium AA batteries. Rechargeable AA batteries can also be used,
however they must be charged in their own external charger. Lithium
AA batteries are more costly and harder to find, yet provide two to
four times the play-time of alkalines and provide a much
longer shelf-life.
Install the batteries by removing the battery compartment cover and
following the battery polarity diagrams imprinted on the underside of
the cover. Remove the cover by simultaneously pressing on the inden-
tation labeled OPEN and pulling it down toward the bottom of the
radio. To play the FR250 on its AA batteries, turn the radio on by set-
ting the power selector switch to the BATTERY position.
: When an AC adaptor is in use, the AA batteries are
NOTE
automatically switched off.

PREVENTING BATTERY ACID LEAKAGE

To avoid battery acid leakage, only use high quality alkaline, lithium
or rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries. Never intermix old
with new, or different brands or types of batteries. Damage caused by
battery acid leakage is not covered by this product's warranty. If the
batteries leak, don't throw them away and immediately contact the
manufacturer of the batteries to inquire about their battery leakage
warranty program.

EMERGENCY OPERATION WITH NO
POWER SOURCE
Even if no power source is available, including the Ni-MH battery
pack, the radio and the light can still be operated by continually turn-
ing the dynamo crank with the power selector switch in the center
DYNAMO/ADAPTOR position.

USING AN EXTERNAL POWER SOURCE AND
NI-MH BATTERY CHARGING
The FR250 can be powered via an AC adaptor/charger (not included).
Using an AC adaptor/charger automatically charges the internal Ni-MH
battery pack. If the adaptor/charger meets the correct specifications it
can be left plugged in without damaging the Ni-MH battery pack.
When the battery pack is depleted it takes about 8 hours to charge it
using the proper AC adaptor/charger. The Ni-MH battery pack will take
charge with the power selector switch set to any of its positions.
For proper operation, the AC adaptor/charger must meet the specifica-
tions described below.
AC ADAPTOR/CHARGER SPECIFICATIONS
Output of 4.5 volt DC; negative polarity; 80-200 milliamperes current
capability; plug tip outer diameter of 3.4 millimeter, inner diameter of
1.3 millimeter.
To power the FR250 with an AC adaptor/charger, plug it into the DC
socket on the rear of the FR250 and set the power selector switch to
the center DYNAMO/ADAPTOR position.
: If using an AC adaptor rated higher than 80-200
IMPORTANT NOTE
milliamps, unplug the internal rechargeable battery.
