Battery operation
.
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the
catches in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert four LR14 (C size) batteries into the remaining spaces in the
battery 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 your radio cassette 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 SC9911 is used on the
mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or
stand-by use only.
ON
Mains operation
