Using the AC adaptor

The AC adaptor for use with the R9914 should provide 6 volts DC output at 300mA centre pin negative (Roberts type PU6-B).

Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket on the left side of your radio. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor is used the batteries are automatically disconnected.

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

We would recommend for economy that the R9914 be used via an AC adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or stand-by use only.
