Operation via Mains Connection
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
type plate of the radio. Radios marked with 230 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
Operation with Battery Pack
Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only
u
these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion re-
chargeable battery of your radio.
Note: The use of rechargeable batteries unsuitable for your
radio can lead to malfunctions or damage to the radio.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge
by "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". A protective circuit
switches the radio off when the rechargeable battery is
drained.
Do not switch the radio back on after it has been
u
switched off by the protective circuit. This can damage
the battery.
Replacing a Rechargeable Battery
Disengage the locking lever (28) of the battery cover and
open the battery cover (27) flap.
To remove a rechargeable battery, press the battery release
button (25) and pull the rechargeable battery out of the bat-
tery compartment. Do not use force to do this.
To insert a rechargeable battery, push it into the battery
holder (29) such that the connections of the rechargeable
battery are in line with the connections of the battery holder.
Allow the rechargeable battery to engage.
Close the battery cover (27) and lock it.
Battery Charge Indicator
When the rechargeable battery is inserted, you can see the
state of charge of the battery (26) in the display. When the
rechargeable battery is removed, you can see this on the

Inserting/Changing Back-up Batteries
To save the time and other settings on the radio, back-up
batteries must be inserted. Using alkaline manganese batter-
ies is recommended for this purpose.
Disengage the locking lever (28) of the battery cover and
open the battery cover (27) flap.
If required, remove the rechargeable battery (26).
To open the battery compartment cover (24), press on the
locking mechanism (23) and remove the battery compart-
ment cover. Insert the back-up batteries supplied.
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is cor-
rect according to the illustration on the inside of the battery
compartment.
Replace the battery compartment cover (24).
"REPLACE AA BATTERY WHEN UNIT NO LONGER KEEPS
CORRECT TIME": Change the back-up batteries when the
radio no longer saves the time.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use
batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the
same capacity.
Take the back-up batteries out of the radio if you are
u
not using it for a prolonged period of time. When
stored in the radio for longer periods, the back-up batter-
ies can corrode and discharge themselves.
