PREPARATION

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your radio uses three AA batteries (not supplied) for power. We recommend alka- line batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552. You can also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries (Cat. No. 23-125 or 23-149). Before you use nickel-cadmium batteries, you must charge them (see “Charging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries” on Page 4).

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1.Be sure the radio is off, then pull down the latch at the bottom of the radio and remove the battery compartment cover.

2.Use a pointed object such as a pen to set CHRG inside the compartment to OFF (for alkaline batteries) or ON (for nickel-cadmium batteries).
