Batteries

Open the battery cover (5) located on the rear of the R972 by sliding it
in the direction shown by the arrow. Insert two AAA (LR03) size
batteries into the compartment. Ensure that batteries are inserted in
accordance with the diagram shown alongside the battery compartment.

Note: Batteries should be replaced when the low battery indicator

( ) appears in the display.

During battery replacement ensure that the Lock switch (14) is in the
up (lock) position. This will prevent loss of memory presets during
battery replacement. Battery replacement should be completed within
two minutes to prevent loss of stations stored in memory presets.

If the radio is not to be used for long periods set the Lock switch (14) to
the up (lock) position, this will reduce power drain on batteries during
storage.

Lock Switch

The Lock switch (14) is used to prevent unintentional operation of the
radio.

Set the Lock switch located on the right side of the radio to the up
(locked) position. The Power and all other buttons will be disabled, this
will prevent accidental operation when the radio is packed in a suitcase
or travel bag.

To prevent accidental operation of the controls when the radio is
switched on set the Lock switch to the up (lock) position
the symbol will appear in the display. To release the Lock
switch move the Lock switch to the down (unlock) position, the

symbol will be removed from the display.

Earphones

Plug the earphones supplied into
the headphone socket (11) located
on the right-hand side of the radio.

Aerials

The lead connecting earphones to
the R972 acts as an FM aerial
when plugged into the earphone
jack. The lead should be extended
as much as possible to increase
FM reception. There is a separate
directional aerial built into the radio
for AM reception. To achieve the
best AM reception, it may be
necessary to rotate the radio.
