POWER SUPPLY  
Whenever convenient, use the mains supply if you want to  
conserve battery life. Make sure you remove the mains plug from  
the set and wall socket before inserting batteries.  
BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED)  
1. Open the battery compartment and insert 8 batteries,  
type R-20, UM-1 or D-cells, (preferably alkaline) with the

type AAA, R03 or UM4 (preferably alkaline).  
2. Replace the compartment door, making sure the batteries are  
firmly and correctly in place. The set is now ready to operate.  
If BATT LOW lights up, battery power is running low.  
The BATT LOW indicator eventually goes out if the  
batteries are too weak.  
Incorrect use of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage and will  
corrode the compartment or cause the batteries to burst.  
Therefore:  
Do not mix battery types: e.g. alkaline with carbon zinc.  
Only use batteries of the same type for the set.  
When inserting new batteries, do not try to mix old batteries  
with the new ones.  
Remove the batteries if the set is not to be used for a long  
time.  
Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should  
be disposed of properly.  
Using AC POWER  
1. Check if the mains supply, as shown on the type plate  
located on the bottom of the set, corresponds to your local  
mains supply. If it does not, consult your dealer or service  
centre.  
MAINS

2. If your set is equipped with a voltage selector, adjust the  
selector so that it matches with the local mains.  
3. Connect the mains lead to the wall socket and the set is now  
ready for use.  
4. To disconnect the set from the mains supply completely,  
remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
