used batteries immediately to avoid leakage which could damage your radio.
Note: When the batteries in your radio are nearly exhausted the display may not work properly. If,
when you replace the old batteries with new ones, the display is still not working properly, remove
the batteries for at least 2 hours before replacing them. This will clear the memory of your radio
which can last for up to 2 hours after the batteries have been removed.
IMPORTANT: During the replacement of your used batteries, we request that you follow the current
regulations as to their elimination. We thank you for depositing them in a location foreseen for that
purpose to ensure their elimination in a sure manner and with respect for the environment.
