Connecting an AC Adapter

You can charge the radio from a standard AC outlet using an optional AC adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-1665).

Warning: Do not use an AC adapter’s po- larized plug with an extension cord, recep- tacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Cautions:

The recommended AC adapter sup- plies 9 volts and delivers at least 300 milliamps. It has a barrel plug with a center negative tip that correctly fits the radio’s DC 9V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the radio or the adapter.

To protect your radio and AC adapter, always plug the adapter into the radio before you plug it into the AC outlet, and always unplug the adapter from the AC outlet before you unplug it from the radio.

Make sure CHRG inside the battery compartment is set to ON and nickel- cadmium batteries are installed (see “Installing Batteries” on Page 3).

1.Plug the adapter’s 3.4 mm outside diameter/1.3 mm inside diameter bar- rel plug into your radio’s DC 9V jack.
