‹ If BATT LOW lights up, battery power
is running low.The BATT LOW
indicator eventually goes out if the
batteries are too weak.
Batteries contain chemical substances,
so they should be disposed of properly.
Incorrect use of batteries can cause
electrolyte leakage and will corrode the
compartment or cause the batteries to
burst.Therefore:
• Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with
carbon zinc. Only use batteries of the same
type for the set.
• When inserting new batteries, do not try to
mix old batteries with the new ones.
• Remove the batteries if the set is not to be
used for a long time.
Using AC Power
1 Check if the mains voltage, as shown on
the type plate located on the bottom
of the set, corresponds to your local
mains supply. If it does not, consult your
dealer or service centre.
2 Connect the mains lead to the AC MAINS
inlet and the wall socket.The power supply
is now connected and ready for use.
3 If your set is equipped with a voltage
selector, adjust the selector to match the
local mains. Disconnect the mains lead if this
selector has to be reset.
4 To switch off completely, unplug the mains
lead from the wall socket.
• Unplug the mains lead from the wall socket
to protect your set during heavy
thunderstorms.
The type plate is located on the
bottom of the set.
