Battery operation  
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of your CD radio cassette by  
pushing the catches in the direction of the arrows.  
2. Insert eight LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compart-  
ment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct  
polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the  
battery cover.  
3. Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that  
the batteries may need replacing. If your CD radio cassette is not to  
be used for any extended period of time it is recommended that the  
eight LR14 (C size) batteries are removed from the radio.  
We would recommend for economy that your CD radio cassette is  
used on the mains whenever possible with battery operation for  
occasional or stand-by use only.  
Mains operation  
1. Place your CD radio cassette on a flat surface.  
2. Plug the mains lead into the socket located on the rear of your CD  
radio cassette ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.  
3. Plug the other end into a mains wall socket and switch on.
