Battery operation
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the battery door in and downwards.
2. Insert four LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compart­ment. Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3. Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that the batteries may need replacing.
4. 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 R9927 is used on the mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account should batteries be disposed of by incineration.
Mains operation
1. Place your radio on a flat surface.
2. Plug the mains lead into the Mains socket located on the rear of your radio ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket.
3. Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on the wall socket.
IMPORTANT: The mains plug is used as the means of connecting the radio to the mains supply. The mains socket used for the radio must remain accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the mains completely, the mains plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

Trouble shooting
In case of malfunction due to electrostatic discharge, it may be neces­sary to reset the product to resume normal operation. This may generally be performed by turning the unit off and on. In some cases a more complete reset may be needed, either by removing all sources of power (battery and mains) when turned off.

Headphones
1. A Headphone Socket (3.5mm) located on the right hand end of your radio is provided for use with either headphones or an earpiece. Inserting the headphone plug automatically mutes the internal loudspeaker.
IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to dripping or splashing. Do not leave your radio where excessive heat could cause damage such as in a parked car where the heat from the sun can build up even though the outside temperature may not seem too high. It is recommended that the FM band be used where ever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the MW or LW bands.
• No objects filled with liquids such as vases, shall be placed on the radio.
• It is recommended to operate the product such that there is a minimum distance (10cm recommended) to adjacent objects in order to ensure good ventilation.
• The ventilation of the product should not be restricted by covering it or its ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, table­cloths, curtains etc.
• No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed on the product.
• It is recommended to avoid using or storing the product at extremes of temperature. Avoid leaving the unit in cars, on window sills in direct sunlight etc.
• The name plate is located on the bottom panel.
