two-way communication transmissions (VHF), and local weather information

    POWER indicator lights.

2.  Set AM/FM/TV1/TV2/AIR/VHF/WX to the desired band.

    Notes:  Rotate the radio (the AM antenna is built in) to the
            position that produces the best AM reception.

            Fully extend the telescoping antenna and swivel it to the
            position that produces the best FM, TV1, TV2, AIR, VHF, and
            WX reception.

USING AN EARPHONE

For private listening, insert an earphone (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch
plug into the EAR jack.  Your local Radio Shack store carries earphones.

    Note:  Connecting an earphone automatically disconnects the built-in
           speaker.

Listening Safely

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended, high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.  Follow these guidelines to
protect your hearing, especially when you use an earphone.

      Always start by setting the volume to the lowest level possible
      before you begin listening.

      Put the earphones 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.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.
This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.

USING THE WRIST STRAP

For your convenience, the radio is equipped with a strap so you can hang
it from your wrist.
