Battery operation
1. Remove 
the 
Battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the 
battery door in and downwards.
2.  Insert six  LR14 (C size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment. 
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as 
shown inside the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.
3.  Reduced power, distortion  and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that 
the batteries may need replacing.
4.  If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is 
recommended that the batteries are removed from the radio.
 
We would recommend for economy that the RD-28 is used on the 
mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or 
stand-by use only.
 
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat 
 
such as sunshine, fi re or the like. After use, disposable batteries should 
 
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account 
 
should batteries be disposed of by incineration. 
Mains operation
1.  Place your radio on a fl at surface. 
2.  Plug the mains lead into the Socket located on the rear of your radio 
ensuring that the plug is pushed fully into the socket. 
3.  Plug the other end of the mains lead into a wall socket and switch on 
the wall socket.
• IMPORTANT: 
 
The mains plug 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 
 
plug should be removed from the mains socket outlet completely.
4.  When the mains LED is off, it indicates that the radio is completely   
 
disconnected from the mains.
