General
Do not allow this unit to be exposed to water, steam or sand. Do not
leave the unit 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 and LW bands.
Battery
To insert the batteries first open the battery cover (10) by sliding it in
the direction shown by the arrow. Insert two LR03 ( AAA) size
batteries into the compartment. Ensure that batteries are inserted in
