battery door in slightly and then downwards in the direction of the  
arrows in the diagram.  
2. Insert six LR14 (C size) alkaline batteries into the spaces in the  
compartment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the  
correct polarity as shown on the back of the radio. Then replace the  
battery cover.  
When the batteries are exhausted, the battery light will show red for a  
short while. The radio will then switch itself off. It may not be possible  
to switch the radio back on until the batteries are replaced, or until the  
radio is connected to the mains adaptor.

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 Classiclite is used via the  
AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional  
or stand-by use only.  
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat  
suchassunshine,reorthelike.Afteruse,disposablebatteriesshould  
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account  
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
