Dial lights are switched on by pressing button at left-hand side of cabinet and may be used to check condition of battery. (receiver is operated at normal listening volume and when dial lights are switched on, no change or a slight drop in volume indicates that battery is in good condition; a large drop shows battery is nearly discharged; no sound, but resumes whens lights switched off, means battery is discharged and should be replaced.)
