Battery operation
1. Remove the Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the catch
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert four LR6 (AA 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.
Operation via an AC adaptor (not included)
The AC adaptor for use with the R9903 should provide 6 volts DC output at
300mA centre pin negative (Roberts type PU6-B).
1. Place your radio on a flat surface.
2. Plug the adaptor lead into the DC input socket located on the left hand
side end of your radio ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the
socket. The batteries will be automatically disconnected
3. Plug the adaptor into a wall socket and switch on.

Operating your radio
1. Turn on your radio by rotating the Volume control clockwise until a
click is heard. The Power LED will light up
2. Set the Waveband selector to the required waveband.
3. Adjust the Volume control until a hissing sound is heard.
4. Rotate the Tuning knob to select the desired station. On MW and LW
the Tuning scale is marked in kilohertz (kHz). On FM the Tuning
scale is marked in Megahertz (MHz)
5. For MW and LW reception rotate your radio to the position giving best
reception.
6. For FM reception fully extend the Telescopic aerial and then angle and
rotate for best reception. A knuckle joint at the base of the aerial allows
this movement and an angle of 45 degrees will usually be satisfactory.
6. Adjust the Volume control to the required sound level.
7. To turn off your radio rotate the Volume control fully anticlockwise
until a click is heard.
Note : The telescopic aerial is inoperative on MW and LW.

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.
General
Do not allow this unit 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 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.
