LED is on are all signs that the batteries need recharged if you use re-
chargeable batteries to power the radio.

The radio can be charged only when the radio is off.
Connect the AC power cord into the AC socket to charge the batteries,
be sure the battery type switch is set to Ni/MH position.
When the radio is charged, the green Charge LED will be ashing, and
stop ashing (the green LED is on) when the radio is fully charged.
Charging time takes approx. 4-6 hours depending on capacity of the
rechargeable batteries in use.
