Radio Shack 12-795 Reading the TUNING/ Battery Meter, Using the P.A. Public Address Function

9.To select a different station/fre- quency, rotate TUNING (the outside knob) on the front of the radio. The yellow bar on the multi-band scale moves to indicate the current tuning position. The needle on the TUNING/ BATTERY meter moves toward 10 as the signal strength increases or toward 0 as it decreases (see “Reading the TUNING/BATTERY Meter).

Notes:

•If you selected the AM band, turn

DIRECTION FINDER (the direc- tional AM antenna) on top of the radio to fine tune the selected AM station.

•If you selected the SW1 or SW2 band, rotate FINE TUNING (the knob inside TUNING) to fine tune the selected SW frequency.

10.To turn off the radio when you finish, set POWER to OFF.

READING THE TUNING/ BATTERY METER

The radio’s TUNING/BATTERY meter in- dicates the current signal strength and the current battery strength (if you in- stalled batteries).

With POWER set to ON and RADIO/P.A. set to RADIO, the position of the needle on the top portion of the meter shows the current signal strength on a scale of 0 (weakest signal) to 10 (strongest sig- nal).

With POWER set to ON and RADIO/P.A. set to P.A., the position of the needle on the lower (green-shaded) portion of the meter shows the current battery strength. The needle points toward the right when the battery strength is strong, and moves to the left as the battery strength weakens.

USING THE P.A. (PUBLIC ADDRESS) FUNCTION

Follow these steps to connect a micro- phone with 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug (not supplied) to the radio and set the radio so you can hear sound from the micro- phone through the radio’s speaker.

Note: Your local RadioShack store car- ries a wide selection of microphones.

1.Turn VOLUME toward MIN until it stops.
