THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your RadioShack DX-396 AM/SW/FM-Stereo PLL Portable Receiver might cause television or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine whether your receiver is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your receiver is causing the interference.

To try to eliminate the interference:

•Reorient the DX-396 receiver’s antenna.

•Move your DX-396 receiver away from the television or radio receiver.

•Connect your DX-396 receiver to an outlet that is on a different electrical circuit from the television or radio receiver.

•Contact your local RadioShack store for assistance.

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your re- ceiver.
