Batteries

Open the battery cover (14) located on the rear of the R982 by sliding
it in the direction shown by the arrow. Insert two LR03 (AAA) size
batteries into the compartment. Ensure that batteries are inserted in
accordance with the diagrams shown inside the battery compartment.

Note: Batteries should be replaced when the low battery indicator
(e) ) appears in the display.

During battery replacement ensure that the Power is switched off and
the Lock switch (2) is in the left hand (lock) position. This will prevent
loss of time and memory presets during battery replacement. Battery
replacement should be completed within three minutes to prevent

loss of time and stations stored in memory presets.

If the radio is not to be used for long periods set the Lock switch (2)
to the left hand (lock) position, this will reduce power drain on
batteries during storage.
