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.
