(120-0615)

You can power your radio from any of these power sources:

Internal battery power

Standard AC power (using an AC adapter)

Vehicle battery power (using a DC adapter)

You can power the radio from three AA batteries (not supplied). For the best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552 or 23-557.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.Press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it open.

2.Install three fresh AA batteries, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.

CAUTION: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Never mix fresh and old batteries, or different battery types.

NOTE: To make it easier to replace the batteries when needed, place them over the ribbon.

3.Replace the cover.

NOTES: If the sound gets distorted or weak, replace the batteries.

If you do not plan to use the radio for a week or more, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.

USING STANDARD AC POWER

You can power the radio from standard AC power using an optional AC adapter, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 273-1650 (not supplied).

CAUTION: The recommended AC adapter supplies 4.5 volts, delivers 300 milliamps, and its plug correctly fits the radio's DC 4.5V jack.
