IMPORTANT BATTERY
INFORMATION

• Alkaline batteries are recommended for
longer play. Carbon-zinc or nickel
cadmium rechargeable batteries can
substantially reduce play time.

• If you’re not going to use your radio for a
month or more, be sure to remove
batteries because they can leak and
damage the unit.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper
manner, according to federal, state, and
local regulations.

• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed
with a different battery type, if inserted
incorrectly, if all batteries are not
replaced at the same time, if disposed of
in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge
a battery not intended to be recharged.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately.
Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or
other personal injury.
