Battery Installation
The CL-100 uses 4 AA batteries for back-up power. It can run on
non-rechargeable alkaline, or rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cad) or
Nickel Metal Hybrid (NiMH) batteries. When the radio is operating on
battery power, the battery stock indicator will appear on the upper left
corner of the LCD display.
To Install or Replace the Batteries:
1. Turn the unit upside down. Locate the battery compartment door
tab, press down on the door tab and lift the cover up to open.
2. Insert 4 x “AA” size/UM-3/LR14 batteries. Be sure to follow the
polarity markings. Replace the battery compartment cover.
3. Reduced power, distortion, a “stuttering” sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing. The batteries should be
replaced when the battery indicator flashes in the display.
4. If the radio is not be used for any extended period of time,
it is recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
Note:
When removing the batteries, press down the negative electrode of
the innermost battery and it will be tilted out of the compartment. The
rest of the batteries can be removed easily.
Getting better Reception with External Antennas
If you have weak reception on your radio in remote areas, you may
improve your reception by using the external antennas. Connect the
external FM/ weather antenna in the terminal shown in figure 24 in
the pull chart. Connect the external AM antenna as shown in figure
25, 26.
Note:
Both the FM/ weather and the AM antenna are not included. For the
external FM/weather antenna, our accessory ANT-100 is compatible
to the device for superior range and reception. You can find the
detailed accessory description and its order form in the package. As
for the AM loop antenna, you need to buy an AM loop antenna from
the electronic mart. The recommended AM loop antennas include
Sangean AM Loop Antenna, and C. Crane F5 External AM Antenna.
