Using the AC adaptor

The SportsDAB4 features a built-in 1180mAH

rechargeable Lithium battery to power your radio.

Before operating the radio for the fi rst time, ensure
that you fully charge the radio.

1. Place your radio on a fl at surface. Carefully pull
back the protection cover and insert the adaptor
plug into the charging socket on the right hand
side of your radio.

2. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains
socket outlet. If the radio is switched on the
battery indicator will become animated showing
charging in progress. Note: If charging the radio
when the radio is switched off, the battery power
icon will not show on the display.

3. The radio will begin charging the built-in battery.
Charging time will take

3 hours with the radio

switched off and 6 hours if the radio is switched
on.

4. The battery power icon will fl ash whilst charging
and stop fl ashing when the radio is fully charged.
Reduced power, distortion, 'stuttering' sounds or
the battery power indicator low are all signs that
the battery needs to be recharged.

5

The AC adaptor
should be
disconnected from
the mains supply
and the radio when
not in use.

IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor 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 adaptor should
be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.

Note: The mains adaptor which is supplied with your
radio is a high effi ciency type, designed to minimise
energy consumption, whether the radio is playing,
charging its battery or switched off. Do not use any
other mains adaptor in place of the unit supplied.
Such use will invalidate your guarantee.

If you need any further advice, please call our Technical
Helpline on :- 020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

Keylock function

The Keylock function is used to prevent
unintentional operation of your radio.

1. Set the Lock switch located on the top of
your radio to the 'Lock' position. The On/Off
and all other buttons will be disabled. This will
prevent accidental operation when your radio
is packed in a suitcase or travel bag. The lock
indicator ‘

’ will show on the display.

2. To release the Lock switch, move the lock
switch to the 'Unlock' position.

General

Do not allow this radio to be exposed to water,
steam or sand. 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 DAB
band be used wherever possible as better results
in terms of quality and freedom from interference
will usually be obtained than on the FM band.

The name plate is located on the rear of your radio.
