3. Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that  
the batteries may need replacing. If your CD radio is not to be used  
for a prolonged period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage  
by battery leakage.  
We would recommend for economy that your CD radio is used on  
the mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional  
or stand-by use only.

Fuse  
General  
This apparatus must be protected by a 3A fuse (BS1362) in a 13A plug  
(BS1363). If another type of plug is used a 5A fuse should be fitted in  
the plug, adaptor or distribution board.  
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to moisture (e.g. dripping or  
splashing) or to temperatures exceeding 70 degrees centigrade. It is  
recommended that the FM band be used wherever possible as better  
results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be  
obtained than on the MW/LW bands.
