1
battery cover.  
Important: when using alkaline batteries the battery switch must  
be placed in the alkaline position. Failure to do so could result  
in serious damage to the batteries or radio.  
Reduced power, distortion and a ‘stuttering’ sound are all signs that  
the batteries may need replacing.  
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 ecologic 2 is used via the  
ACadaptorwheneverpossiblewithbatteryoperationforoccasionalor  
stand-by use only. If extended listening using batteries is anticipated,  
then the use of rechargeable batteries is recommended.

the radio but not switched on then the radio will run from the batteries  
if fitted.  
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and  
the radio when not in use.  
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.

A Few words about batteries...  
Rechargeable batteries...  
Your Roberts ecologic-2 radio has been designed to use  
a
choice  
Your ecologic-2 radio uses a range of methods to ensure correct and  
safe charging of Rechargeable Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries. These  
work to protect your batteries from excessive charge and discharge.  
These protections can only work properly if the advice above is followed.  
In particular, the radio will not be able to correctly charge batteries if  
they are a mixture of different brands, or different ages, or different  
capacities.  
of power sources. You may plug it into the mains using the supplied  
adaptor, or for listening away from the mains you may use either alkaline  
or rechargeable batteries. We do not recommend the use of carbon-zinc  
or zinc-chloride batteries.  
It is very important that you read the advice and warnings given below.  
1) Whichever type of batteries you choose to use, it is very important  
that the battery selection switch under the cover is set to the correct  
type.  
We recommend that all the rechargeable batteries used in your radio  
are bought together as a set. They should always be charged together  
and discharged together and not “borrowed” from time to time for other  
applications. This will ensure that they give their optimum performance  
in your radio.  
a. If no batteries are fitted, then set the switch to the Alkaline position.  
This position minimises the power consumption when the radio is  
powered from the mains.  
We recommend that the rechargeable batteries that you use should  
be from a quality brand, and should be of at least 2000mAh capacity.  
Batteries of this capacity should be able to power your radio for between  
10 and 20 hours depending upon the volume of the radio, whether DAB  
or FM mode is used (DAB mode uses slightly less power than FM), and  
also depending on the condition of the batteries.  
b. If Alkaline batteries are fitted, then set the switch to the Alkaline  
position.  
c. If Rechargeable batteries are fitted, then set the switch to the  
NiMH position. Your radio is designed to use Nickel-Metal-Hydride  
rechargeable batteries. No other type of rechargeable battery should  
be used in the radio.  
Before you first install a new set of rechargeable batteries into your  
radio you should first make sure that the battery type switch beneath  
the battery cover is in the NiMH position. Install the batteries arranging  
them as shown on the back of the radio. Plug the mains adaptor into a  
mains socket and then into the radio. While the batteries are charging  
the battery indicator should show a red light. When the batteries are fully  
charged the indicator will turn off. The time taken to charge the batteries  
will depend on how much charging they require. New batteries may be  
partly charged when first fitted, but it is normal for a set of batteries to  
take several hours to charge fully (this can be between 5 and 8 hours  
depending on the battery capacity and their initial state of charge).  
2) NEVER mix old and new Alkaline batteries. The old batteries may  
suffer damage and leak which will damage your radio and whatever  
the radio is standing on.  
3) NEVER mix old and new Rechargeable batteries. This may  
result in unreliable charging and shortened battery life. Never mix  
Rechargeable batteries of different types or capacities even if they  
are new.  
4) NEVER mix Alkaline and Rechargeable batteries. The recharging of  
Alkaline batteries can be very dangerous.  
If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :-  
020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)  
 
22  
If you use the radio powered from the batteries, the battery light will be  
off. When the batteries are exhausted, the radio will switch itself off. It  
does this in order that the batteries are not excessively discharged. This  
would otherwise damage the batteries and shorten their life.  
To avoid danger and risk of injury, please follow these guide lines  
Improper use of batteries may result in leakage of fluid, overheating  
or explosion. Battery fluid is corrosive and may also be toxic. Battery  
fluid can cause skin burns, can damage the eyes, and can be harmful if  
swallowed.  
If you use the radio powered from the mains with rechargeable batteries  
fitted, the charging process is suspended until you switch off the radio.  
When you switch off the radio using its On/Off button charging will then  
resume. If the batteries have already been charged then they will only  
charge for a few more minutes before the battery charge indicator goes  
turns off.  
1. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.  
2. Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate or dispose of batteries by  
burning.  
If you only listen to your radio for short periods, you do not need to  
connect your radio to the mains to charge the batteries every time that  
you use it. However, if the radio is not to be used for a few weeks we  
recommend that the batteries are fully charged before the radio is put to  
one side (charge until battery charge light turns off).  
3. Do not mix different battery types or old and new batteries. Always  
replace all the batteries at the same time.  
4. Do not carry or store batteries such that metal objects may contact  
the end caps.  
If you intend not to use your radio for some months, then we recommend  
that the batteries are removed and put away, keeping them in a cool  
place out of reach of children, away from moisture and such that no metal  
object can contact the battery terminals.  
5. Remove batteries from the radio if they are worn out or if you are  
storing it for a long time.  
6. Remove old or worn out batteries promptly, and recycle or dispose of  
them according to the regulations applicable to your location.  
With care, rechargeable batteries can last a long time and can operate for  
many hundreds of charge and discharge cycles. When your rechargeable  
batteries can no longer power your radio adequately, please dispose of  
them thoughtfully.  
7. If a battery does leak, remove all batteries from the product, taking  
care to avoid directly touching the leaked fluid. If the fluid contacts  
skin or clothes wash with water immediately. Before inserting new  
batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a damp  
paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer’s advice for clean  
up.
