FEATURES

Your RadioShack Multi-Band AC/DC Portable Radio is designed to provide high-quality sound while you listen to up to 10 different radio bands. The portable design lets you use it almost anywhere. Its features include:

Multiple Power Options — let you power the radio with standard AC power using the supplied cord, batteries (not supplied), or your car’s cigarette-lighter socket (using an optional DC adapter).

MIC Jack — lets you connect a micro- phone with a 1/8-inch plug (not supplied) to the radio and hear sound from the mi- crophone through the radio’s speaker (like a public address system).

AFC (Automatic Frequency Control)

provides drift-free FM reception and reduced sound distortion.

Carry Strap — easily attaches to the ra- dio so you can carry it with you almost anywhere.

Direction Finder — directional antenna lets you fine-tune the radio to improve AM reception.

Caution: The directional antenna (DIRECTION FINDER) on top of the radio is not a handle. To avoid damaging the antenna, do not lift or carry the radio us- ing the antenna. (Use the provided carry strap instead.)

We recommend you record your radio’s serial number here. The number is in- side the radio’s battery compartment.
