A LINE OUT
“LINE OUT” is used to send the radio’s audio to an external amplified speaker or stereo sys- tem. It is a fixed output level designed to work with external systems. The radio’s “VOLUME”, “BASS” and “TREBLE” controls do not function when using “LINE OUT” to an external system. An optional patch cord to your amplified speakers or stereo system will be needed for this con- nection.
LINE OUT TIPS: When using “LINE OUT”, set
tion to hear FM stations in stereo with external systems. The word will be displayed when a stereo sign is received.

the batteries’ + and – ends. The LCD will display a with fresh, new batteries. When the
batteries are low, the icon will display. If the batteries are too low to run the radio, the icon will flash on the display, and ultimately, the radio will automatically shut “off”.
