INSTALLING BATTERIES
The hinged battery compartment (17) is located on the back of the
G5.To open it, apply thumb pressure to the ribbed, down pointing tri-
angle and slide it about 1/8 inch (about 3 mm) towards the bottom of
the radio, then pull up. Install 4 AA batteries, observing the battery
polarity diagrams inside the compartment.When not using recharge-
able AA batteries, use alkaline or lithium batteries. LithiumAA batter-
ies yield the longest play-time.
BATTERY STRENGTH INDICATOR
The battery strength indicator appears in the upper right side of the
LCD display (24).When batteries are fresh or fully charged, it appears
solid black.As batteries wear down, the segments become clear from
right to left.
CAUTION! - PREVENTING BATTERYACID LEAKAGE
To avoid battery acid leakage, only use high quality alkaline, lithium
or rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries. Never use old batteries
and never intermix old with new or different brands or types of
batteries, as this may cause damage to the radio and may result
in an explosion causing injury.When the G5 is not being used for a
long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid leakage. Damage
caused by battery acid leakage is not covered by this product’s warranty.
If the batteries leak, don’t throw them away and immediately contact
the manufacturer of the batteries to inquire about their battery leakage
warranty program.
CAUTION! Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries!
MORE IMPORTANT BATTERY USE INFORMATION
• When using batteries for long periods of time, disconnect the AC
adapter/charger.
• Do not attempt recharging non-rechargeable batteries. Only
recharge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
• Replace or recharge batteries when the sound becomes weak and
distorted or the power indicator indicates depleted.
• Stations stored in memory are permanently stored. However, when
power is removed or batteries deplete, the clock reverts to the
default 0:00 setting.
• The clock time will not be lost if batteries are replaced quickly –
within 3 minutes of removal.
