2. AC operation
Before you plug the AC cord into the AC socket, make
sure the voltage is correct. If you have batteries in the
radio and use the AC power cord, the batteries will
automatically be disconnected.
Power cord storage is designed to store the cord when
the radio is not in use.
IMPORTANT:
The mains plug 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 completely,
the mains plug should be removed from the mains outlet
completely.
Charging the batteries
Make sure the radio is switched off and connected to the
AC mains socket.
When the battery charge indicator LED ashes green, this
indicates the batteries are charging. Batteries will be fully
charged in around 5-7 hours. The battery charge indicator
LED shows steady green light when the battery charging
process is complete.
Note:
Duration for charging your batteries fully can vary
according to the mAh capacity of the batteries. Higher
mAh batteries require longer charging time.
Important:
Under some conditions the charging LED indicator
may switch off after flashing briefly. This may happen
if the batteries are already freshly charged, or if the
radio detects that you may be attempting to recharge
alkaline batteries or mixed different types or capacity of
rechargeable battery. In these cases the charging will be
stopped.
INSTALL ONLY PRE-CHARGED (TO THE SAME
VOLTAGE LEVEL) NIMH BATTERIES WITH “LOW
SELF-DISCHARGE” CHARACTERISTICS. USE OF
ORIGINAL PERFECTPRO BATTERIES IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED.
