Battery life (approx. hours) (JEITA*)
Using Sony alkaline LR03 (size AAA) battery 44
Using Sony R03 (size AAA) battery 19
*Measured by JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association) standards. The actual battery life may vary
depending on the circumstance of the unit.
When to replace the battery
Replace the battery when the sound becomes weak or distorted. Remove
the old battery and insert a new one.
Notes on battery
• Do not charge the dry battery.
• Do not carry the dry battery with coins or other metallic objects. It can
generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the battery are
accidentally contacted by a metallic object.
• When you are not going to use the unit for a long time, remove the
battery to avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
If the battery compaertment lid comes off
(See Fig. B)
The battery compartment lid is designed to come off when opened with
excessive force. To put it back on, see the illustration.
1 Insert the right hook of the lid into the right hole in the unit.
2 Hang the left hook on the left part of the compartment where the lid
fits.
3 Slide the left hook toward the left hole in the unit.
Operating the Radio
1 Connect the supplied stereo earphones to i (stereo
earphones) jack.
2 Set OFF/ON/MEGABASS to ON to turn on the radio.
3 Turn TUNE to tune in to a station.
4 Adjust VOLUME.

*You will hear the sound in stereo only when the program of the station
that you are tuned into is in stereo.
