CAUTION:  Risk of electric shock!  Do not open!

          To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or
          back).  No user serviceable parts inside.  Refer servicing to
          qualified service personnel.

WARNING:  To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose
          this appliance to rain or moisture.

USING BATTERY POWER

You can power the radio/recorder from four C batteries.  For the best
results, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack
Cat. No. 23-551.

To install batteries:

1.  Push the tabs in the direction of the arrows marked on the battery
    compartment and lift off the cover.

2.  Insert four C batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -)
    marked inside the battery compartment.

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

USING AC POWER

You can use AC power with the radio/recorder to conserve the batteries.
Open the battery compartment cover and pull out the AC power cord.  Replace
the compartment cover and route the cord through the notch in the upper
right corner.  Plug the power cord into a standard AC outlet.

NOTE:  The AC power cord has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
       other) and will only fit into an outlet one way.  Do not force the
       plug.

USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

You can power the radio/recorder from the vehicle's battery.  Using vehicle
battery power requires a DC adapter (not included), such as Cat. No.
273-1802.

NOTE:  The internal batteries disconnect when you connect the
       radio/recorder to the vehicle's battery power.

CAUTIONS:  The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC negative ground electrical
           system.

           Be sure you connect the adapter to the radio/recorder before you
           connect it to the cigarette-lighter socket, and disconnect the
           adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before you disconnect
           it from the radio/recorder.  Otherwise, the unconnected plug
           might touch some metal in the vehicle and damage the adapter or
           the vehicle's electrical system.

           You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at
           least 250 milliamps.  Its center tip must be set to negative and
           its plug must correctly fit the radio/recorder's DC 6V jack.
           Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could
           seriously damage the radio/recorder or adapter.
