Battery operation  
IMPORTANT - The LR6 (AA size battery) must be fitted at all times to  
provide power for the clock.  
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the  
catches in the direction of the arrow.  
2. Insert one LR6 (AA size) battery into the small space in the battery  
compartment. The clock display will now appear.The LR6 (AA size)  
battery provides power for the clock and must remain fitted at all  
times.  
3. Insert four LR14 (C size) batteries into the remaining spaces in the  
battery compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted  
with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment.  
Replace the battery cover.  
4. Reduced power, distortion, and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that  
the batteries may need replacing.  
5. If your radio cassette 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 SC9908 is used on the  
mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or  
stand-by use only.  
Mainsoperation  
1. Place your radio cassette on a flat surface.  
ON  
2. Plug the mains lead into theMains socket located on the rear of your  
radio cassette ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.  
3. Plug the other end into a wall socket and switch on. The Mains  
indicator will light up indicating that the radio is connected to the  
mains supply. The batteries will be automatically disconnected.
