IMPORTANT NOT
ES
Your hearing is very important to you and to us so please take care when operating this equipment. It is strongly
recommended that you follow the listed guidelines in order to prevent possible damage or loss of hearing:
ESTABLISH A SAFE SOUND LEVEL
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the impression that the volume has in fact
been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this BEFORE YOUR HEARING
ADAPTS set the volume at a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion.
Damage to your hearing is accumulative and is irreversible.
Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable listening level, DO NOT INCREASE THE SOUND LEVEL FURTHER.
The following list of typical sound levels may assist you in recognising just how loud you have set the volume level.
DECIBEL
Level dB Example
30dB Quiet library, soft whisper.
40 Living room, fridge freezer bedroom away from traffic.
50 Normal conversation, quiet office, light traffic.
60 Electric sewing machine,
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
THE FOLLOWING NOISE CAN BE HARMFUL UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
80dB Average city traffic, alarm clock buzzer at 2 feet, food mixer.
90dB Motorcycle, heavy goods vehicle, petrol lawn mower.
100 Pneumatic drill, chain saw, garbage truck, discotec / nightclub.
120 Rock band concert, thunderclap.

Getting Started
Power Sources
The GSR75WDAB can be powered either directly from the household 230V AC mains Supply via the
supplied lead or from 4 D size batteries (not Supplied)
AC MAINS
Insert the small end of the AC mains lead to the socket on the side of the GSR75WDAB and the 3 pin
plug into a switched household AC supply socket, ensure the wall outlet socket is switched ON. The
display will now illuminate indicating power is reaching the unit. Press the standby button to switch
the unit on.
Note: Whilst using the AC supply the battery supply is disconnected automatically.
BATTERY OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure that the battery charge switch located on the left side of the radio is switched
OFF. Charging of non re-chargeable batteries will damage the unit and may also result in the
batteries exploding.
Remove the Battery Compartment cover and insert 4 x LR20 (D Size Alkaline batteries), observing
the correct polarity replace the cover.
NOTE: BE SURE TO MATCH THE POLARITIES AS SHOWN BELOW.
NOTE: Old batteries may swell and leak. To avoid damage to the unit, remove the batteries when the
unit is to be stored for long periods of time, or if the batteries become exhausted (the display will fade
and the power/standby LED will flash if the batteries are becoming exhausted). And if radio sound is
low or distorted, the batteries probably need replacing.
