Here's a link to your radio's
manual. Make sure the rechargeable batteries are able to accept a full charge. If they have been recharged more than a couple of hundred times, they may need to be replaced.
Pay attention to which jacks your are powering the radio through. The
PWR and
CHG jacks perform
some similar, but very different functions.
The AC or DC adapter can be connected to the
CHG jack when you wish listen to the radio (and recharge at the same time)
ONLY when
NiCad batteries are installed (or to simply recharge the NiCad batteries with the radio off). Recharging with the radio off will allow the batteries to recharge fastest (10 - 18 hrs).
As per the manual, you should not connect a power source to the
CHG jack if using anything other than NiCad batteries in the radio, as they will heat up and could explode, instead connect to the
PWR jack
whenever using regular, non-rechargeable batteries.
