# Inserting/Changing Back-up Batteries

To save the time and other settings on the radio, back-up batteries must be inserted. Using alkaline manganese batteries is recommended for this purpose.

Disengage the locking lever (28) of the battery cover and open the battery cover (27) flap.

If required, remove the rechargeable battery (26).

To open the battery compartment cover (24), press on the locking mechanism (23) and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the back-up batteries supplied.

When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment.

Replace the battery compartment cover (24).

"REPLACE AA BATTERY WHEN UNIT NO LONGER KEEPS CORRECT TIME": Change the back-up batteries when the radio no longer saves the time.

Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.

- Take the back-up batteries out of the radio if you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. When stored in the radio for longer periods, the back-up batteries can corrode and discharge themselves.
