POWER SOURCES

You can power your receiver from:

    Internal battery power (two alkaline C batteries).

    Standard household AC power (with an optional AC adapter).

    Vehicle battery power (with an optional DC adapter).

Internal Battery Power

You can power the receiver with two C batteries.  For best performance, we
recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-551.

CAUTION:  If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 1 hour, all
          information stored in memory will be lost.  To keep the
          frequencies stored in memory, keep the batteries installed.

NOTES:  Replace the batteries when BATTERY appears on the display.

        Before you replace the batteries, be sure to turn off the
        receiver's power.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

1.  Push the cover in the direction of the arrow and remove it from the
    battery compartment.

2.  Remove the old batteries and discard them immediately.

WARNINGS:  If you do not plan to use the receiver for a month or more,
           remove and store the batteries.

           Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the receiver.  they
           can leak chemicals and corrode or damage electronic circuits. 
           Always dispose of them promptly and properly.

           Never incinerate batteries.

3.  Place two C batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
    symbols (+ or -) marked beside the compartment.  For easy removal,
    place the batteries on top of the lift-out ribbon.

CAUTIONS:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

           Never mix fresh and old batteries.

4.  Replace the compartment cover.

SETTING THE AM/FM TUNING INCREMENT

The AM/FM frequency increment switch sets the correct frequency increments
for different countries.  The switch is located in the battery
compartment.

Set the switch using the following guidelines:

    If you are in the United States, Canada, or another north or south
    American country, the switch is already set to B for you.  In this
    setting, the AM frequency increments are 10 KHZ and the FM frequency
    increments are 200 kHz..

    If you are in a country where the AM frequency increments are 9 kHz,
    set the switch to A.  In this setting, the FM frequency increments are
    100 kHz.

NOTE:  All stored frequencies erase when you change the switch position.

USING STEREO HEADPHONES

For private listening, connect optional stereo headphones into the
receiver's 1/8-inch jack.  This disconnects the receiver's internal
speaker.  Your local Radio Shack store offers a wide selection of stereo
headphones with the required 1/8-inch plug.

Listening Safely

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels, especially using an
earphone.  Extended, high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss.

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

    Always start by setting the volume to the lowest level possible before
    you begin listening.  Put the earphone or headphones on, then
    gradually increase the volume as necessary.

    Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over a period of time,
    your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not
    cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

USING THE FOLDING STAND

Your receiver has a folding stand on the back.  Use it to position the
receiver more securely and for easier viewing of the display.
