Using the AC adaptor
The Sports DAB features a built-in 1800mAH 
rechargeable Lithium battery to power your radio. 
Before operating the radio for the fi rst time, ensure 
that you fully charge the radio.
1.  Place your radio on a fl at surface. Carefully pull 
back the protection cover and insert the adaptor 
plug into the DC in socket on the right hand side 
of your radio. 
2.  Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains 
socket outlet. If the radio is switched on the 
battery indicator will become animated showing 
charging in progress.
3.  The radio will begin charging the built-in battery. 
Charging time will take 4 hours with the radio 
switched off and 10 hours if the radio is switched 
on.
4.  The battery power icon on the LCD display will 
fl ash whilst charging and stop fl ashing when 
the radio is fully charged 
. Reduced power, 
distortion, 'stuttering' sounds or the battery power 
indicator low   are all signs that the battery 
needs to be recharged.
Note: The mains adaptor which is supplied with your 
radio is a high effi ciency type, designed to minimise 
energy consumption, whether the radio is playing, 
charging its battery or switched off. Do not use any 
other mains adaptor in place of the unit supplied. 
Such use will invalidate your guarantee.
IMPORTANT: The mains adaptor is used as 
the means of connecting the radio to the mains 
supply. The mains socket used for the radio must 
remain accessible during normal use. In order to 
disconnect the radio from the mains completely, 
the mains adaptor should be removed from the 
mains socket outlet completely.
The AC adaptor 
should be 
disconnected 
from the mains 
supply and the 
radio when not 
in use.
