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. Lithium AA 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 BATTERY ACID 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 GETTING STARTED continued 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. POWERING THE G5 WITH THE INCLUDED AC ADAPTER/CHARGER To power the G5 with the included AC Adapter/Charger, first plug it into an AC wall outlet (also called ‘mains’), then plug the tip into the 6V socket (48) on the lower left side of the G5. Remove any non- rechargeable batteries from the G5 while using the included AC Adapter/Charger. 89 G5OPERATIONMANUALG5OPERATIONMANUAL GETTING STARTED continued IMPORTANT AC ADAPTER/CHARGER INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS It is normal for the AC adapter/charger to feel warm during use. When the AC adapter/charger is connected, the G5 automatically switches to the AC adapter/charger’s power and installed batteries are not used. Disconnect the AC adapter/charger from the power outlet if it is not being used. Remove the batteries when using the AC adapter/charger for long periods of time. Use only the included AC adapter/charger or one specifically suggested by Eton Corporation. The backlight will remain illuminated when using the AC adapter/charger. CHARGING NI-MH BATTERIES IN THE G5 With its included AC adapter/charger connected, the G5 internally recharges 4 Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) rechargeable batteries. Note that the G5 can still play while the batteries are charging and the alarm functions wi...
