PREPARATION
SUPPLYING POWER
Using Internal Battery
Power
When you use battery power, your
radio requires four AA batteries for
operation and two AAA batteries for
clock and memory station backup.
We recommend alkaline batteries
such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-
552 and 23-555.
Follow these steps to install batter-
ies.
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the
arrow and remove the cover.
2. Insert the two AAA batteries into
the battery compartment, as
indicated by the polarity sym-
bols (+ and –) inside the com-
partment.
Note:
To make it easy to
remove the batteries later, place
the batteries on top of the rib-
bon.
Caution:
Always use fresh bat-
teries of the required size and
type.
3. Insert the four AA batteries into
the battery compartment, as
indicated by the polarity sym-
bols (+ and –) above the com-
partment.
4. Replace the cover.
Note:
If the radio operates erratically
or does not receive strong FM sta-
tions, replace the batteries.
Using Vehicle Battery
Power
To power the radio from your vehi-
cle’s cigarette lighter socket, you
need a DC adapter (not supplied)
such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 14-
844.
Cautions:
• You must use an adapter that
supplies 6 volts with the center
tip set to negative, delivers at
least 300 milliamps, and has a
plug that correctly fits the radio’s
DC 6V
jack. The recommended
adapter meets these require-
ments. Using an adapter that
does not meet these specifica-
tions could seriously damage
the radio.
