Battery Notes:
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly.
Do not burn or bury them.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, dierent
types of batteries (alkaline or rechargeable),
or rechargeable batteries of dierent

• If you do not plan to use the radio for a long
time, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can damage electronic
parts.
Use a Micro USB Adapter (Optional)
You can listen to the radio and
charge the radio’s battery pack at
the same time. Connect a 5V DC
Micro-USB adapter (not supplied)
to the DC IN jack. Using this
method, the battery pack requires
about 12 hours to fully charge.
Notes:
• Your adapter must supply 5V DC and deliver
at least 50 0mA. Its plug must t your radio’s
5V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet
these specications could damage your radio
or adapter.
• Batteries should NEVER be left unattended
while charging. Only adults should charge
the batteries. Use caution when using the
charger to avoid electric shock.
