Panasonic 12-808 Using Earphones or Headphones, Connecting an AC Adapter, Connecting a DC Adapter

Connecting an AC Adapter

You can power the radio using a 6V, 300-mA AC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug®adapt- er (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power

!source that supplies 6V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.

Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the radio's DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the radio or the adapter.

•Always connect the AC adapter to the radio before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the radio.

Connect the Adaptaplug adapter to the AC adapter, plug the adapter into your radio’s DC 6V jack, then plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Connecting a DC Adapter

You can power the radio from a vehicle’s 12V cigarette-lighter socket or similar power source using a 6V, 300-mA DC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug adapter (neither sup- plied). Both are available at your local Ra- dioShack store.

Cautions:

You must use a power source

!that supplies 6V DC and deliv- ers at least 300 mA. Its center

tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the radio's DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these speci-

fications could damage the radio or the adapter.

•Always connect the DC adapter to the radio before you connect it to the power source. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from the power source before you disconnect it from the radio.

Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V, con- nect the Adaptaplug adapter to the DC adapter, plug the adapter into your radio’s DC 6V jack, then plug the other end of the adapter into your vehicle’s 12V power source socket.

Note: If the radio does not charge properly, unplug the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket and clean the socket to remove ashes and debris.

USING EARPHONES OR HEADPHONES

The radio has a built-in speaker to listen to but you can use stereo earphones or head- phones (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch (3.5- mm) plug to listen privately.

Insert the earphones’ plug into the radio's earphone jack.

Note: The built-in speaker disconnects when you connect an earphone or headphones.
