rechargeable battery (see fig. A)

You may charge the built-in rechargeable battery and listen to the radio.

Pull out the 

 handle.

To charge, turn the handle one way to either direction.

Turn the handle slowly in the beginning, and speed up the turning little by
little. Then, keep turning the handle continuously at the speed that lights the

 indicator in green.

When you charge, the built-in rechargeable battery will be charged regardless
of the setting of the 

 switch.

• Be sure to fold in the telescopic antenna when charging. If you leave the

telescopic antenna unfolded, the telescopic antenna may hit the surroundings
and it is dangerous.

• If you turn the 

 handle while listening to the radio,

there may be a noise interference. In this case, turn off the radio and then
charge the battery.

When you turn the handle, the power generation starts and charges the built-in
rechargeable battery. The generation capacity may vary depending on the speed.
At first, turn the handle slowly and then speed up the turning little by little and
the 

 indicator will light up. Keep on turning the handle for 1 minute

at the speed that lights the 

 indicator in green, which will be up to

60 minutes* of listening to the radio. Use this as an charging standard.
Even when you turn the handle at the speed that the

 indicator does not

light, it will charge the built-in rechargeable battery and you may listen to the
radio. 

* For AM radio reception and up to 40 minutes for FM radio reception. The

listening time may differ depending on the operation of the unit.

The sound will become weak and distorted.
If this occurs, turn the 

 handle to charge the

rechargeable battery.

• When you use the rechargeable battery for the first time, after a long period of

time of disuse, leaving the power on for a long time or the rechargeable battery
is exhausted, the battery life may be short even after charging it.
In this case, charge (for more than a minute) and discharge the battery several
times. The battery life will be restored.

• If the rechargeable battery capacity becomes half the normal life, please consult

the nearest Sony dealer.

Installing the dry batteries (see fig. B)

Insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries (not supplied).

Open the lid as illustrated.

Insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries with correct polarity.

Close the lid of the battery compartment.

When the dry batteries become weak, the sound will become weak and distorted.
Replace both dry batteries with new ones.

Set the 

 switch to the source you want to use.

Check the rechargeable battery and the dry batteries once a year.

Turn the 

 handle to charge, then confirm that you

can listen to the radio.

Turn on the radio to confirm if the sound is not weak or distorted.
