running from the mains or switches it on if using batteries.  
Pressing the On/Off button while the radio is in use will cause it to  
return to Stand-by mode with the clock display when running from the

Battery operation  
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the  
battery door in and downwards.  
2. Insert six LR20 (D size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.  
Takecaretoensureallbatteriesareinsertedwiththecorrectpolarityas  
shown next to the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.  
3. The low battery indicator lighting, reduced power, a stuttering sound,  
distortion or the radio switching itself off are all signs that the batteries  
may need replacing.  
4. If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is  
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.  
We would recommend for economy that the ecologic 7 is used via the  
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional  
use only. Inserting the adaptor plug into the DC input socket will  
disconnect the batteries.  
1
If using batteries, only alkaline types should normally be used. Battery life  
will vary according to the use of the radio, but up to 150 hours should be  
possible depending upon mode, volume, dimmer and tone settings.  
Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio  
but must be charged outside the radio using an external charger. Note that  
commercially available D size NiMH cells have a capacity which is only  
a small fraction of that of D size Alkaline cells and so they will power the  
radio for only a few hours before needing recharging. Never mix batteries  
of different types, capacities or brands in the radio.  
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat  
such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should  
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account should  
batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Using the radio for the first time  
1. Place your radio on a flat surface.  
2. Fully extend the telescopic aerial. The aerial should be fully extended  
and positioned vertically for optimum reception.  
3. Plug the cable from the mains adaptor into the DC input socket on  
the rear of your radio (marked 'DC In') ensuring that the plug is pushed  
fully into the socket. Plug the mains adaptor into a wall socket and  
switch on the socket. The display will show "ROBERTS RADIO" for a  
fewsecondsandthenthedisplaywillthenshow"SETCLOCK".During  
this time the radio is scanning to find out which DAB radio stations are  
available. When stations have been found the current time and date  
will appear on the display.  
Note that the display will not show any scanning message for this first  
scan.  
4. If no stations are found the display will show the default time and  
date. It may be necessary to relocate your radio to a position giving  
better reception. You should then carry out a scan to find stations as  
described on page 12.  
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting  
the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must  
remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio  
from the mains, the mains adaptor should be removed from the mains  
socket outlet completely.
