IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CHARGING AND USING RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
1.
Recharge the batteries in any case at least every 2 months.
2.
Make sure the Battery charger switch next to the battery compartment is set to the "CHARGE / NiMH ON" position.
3. Put the batteries in the compartment whilst paying attention to the correct polarity of the batteries (+ and -).
4. First use: Charge new batteries in one continuous, uninterrupted, charge until they are full. This first charge may take longer
than normal. For longer battery life it is advised to always recharge in one continuous, uninterrupted charge until batteries are
full and do not recharge again whilst the batteries are still full.
5. New batteries will only reach their full capacity after some time of use (several charge – discharge cycles).
6. Leave the complete group of batteries in place inside the radio and do not use these batteries or a few of them for other
purposes. This will result in a mix of (fully) charged and (partly) empty batteries. This can seriously damage the batteries and
radio when recharged.
7.
It is advised to only charge batteries at room temperatures between 5 degrees C – 35 degrees C. In lower or higher
temperatures full charge cannot be achieved.
8. Depending on the capacity of the batteries, charging from "empty" to "full" can take several hours.
9.
Do not charge batteries when the radio is hot or exposed to heat or heat sources.
10. It is advised to clean the metal contacts of the batteries and of the charger inside the radio e.g. with a contact-spray from time to
time.
11. Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
12. Do not use a mix of rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
13. Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
14. Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
15. Do not use damaged, deformed or leaking batteries.
16. Battery level indication is an approximate indication only and can vary with battery type used.
17. Batteries can become hot during charging.
18. In cold conditions the capacity of batteries will be much lower than when used at normal room temperature
19. Batteries (even when supplied with the radio), as being consumables, do not fall under the warranty conditions of the radio.
20. It is advised to use PerfectPro rechargeable batteries as the radio and its charger were developed for use with these batteries.

USING THE RADIO FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Insert batteries and place the radio on a flat surface.
2. Plug the AC/DC power adaptor into the AC socket if desired.
3. Carefully extend the antenna located at the back of the radio. Adjust the antenna so it is vertically extending above the radio.
4. The radio will start up and the display will show "WELCOME" for a few seconds. Then the radio will automatically perform an
auto scan of the Band III DAB channels and the FM band. The display will show "Scanning" in DAB and "Auto" in FM.
5.
When the scan is completed, the 10 strongest FM stations will be stored as presets and the available DAB stations will be in the
list of stations. The radio will switch to standby with the updated clock and date showing on the display.
6. If no signals are found, the clock will not be updated. It may be necessary to relocate the radio to a position with better reception.
