Possible Problem (1): Batteries may be dead (alkaline)
or not properly charged (NiCd).
Solution :If the display does not light, or the
‘BATT’ indicator flashes on and off, you
should replace the alkaline batteries, or
if you are using NiCd batteries, recharge
them.
Possible Problem (2): Batteries may not be positioned
correctly in the radio.
Solution :See “Installing and Removing Batteries”
on page 8 for the appropriate battery
installation instructions.

charged.
Solution :If you use a desktop charger, make sure
the battery is positioned properly in the

charger glows red, indicating correct
charging status. See “Charging with
Wall Charger” on page 11 and “Charging
with Desktop Charger” on page 12.
