RCA STA-3850 owner manual Installing The Remote Control’S Batteries, Connecting To Ac Power

Note: Grounding is not necessary for reception, but we recommend it for better FM reception and to avoid damage from lightning when you use an outdoor FM antenna. Use a separate piece of thick polyvinyl insulated wire to connect the GND ANTENNA terminal to an earth ground, such as a metal cold-water pipe.

Warning: Never connect a wire to a gas pipe for grounding since sparks might ignite the gas.

INSTALLING THE

REMOTE CONTROL’S BATTERIES

Cautions:

•Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

•Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage electronic circuits.

Your remote control requires two AA batteries (not included) for power. For the best operation and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries, available at your local RadioShack store.

1.To remove the battery compartment cover, push the compartment’s tab in the direction of the arrow, then lift off the cover.

2.Place two fresh AA batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3.Replace the battery compartment cover.

Note: If the remote’s range is reduced, replace the batteries.

CONNECTING TO AC POWER

Warning: To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless you can fully insert the blades to prevent blade exposure.

Before you plug in the receiver’s power cord, double check all other connections.

To power the receiver, plug the supplied power cord into a standard AC outlet. The power cord’s plug is polarized and fits only one way.

The STAND BY indicator lights when the receiver is plugged in but turned off.

Note: The receiver has a built-in circuit to protect it against overheating or short circuits. If your receiver automatically turns off (stand by mode), let it cool for several minutes. If the receiver overheated, it should play normally when you turn it back on. If there is a short circuit in your receiver, it will turn off again when you turn on the receiver. If this happens, check with your local RadioShack store for service.
