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 batteries.

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 symbols (+ and -) inside the compartment.

    NOTE:  To make it easy to remove the batteries later, place the 
           batteries on top of the ribbon.

    CAUTION:  Always use fresh batteries of the requires size and type.

3.  Insert the four AA batteries into the battery compartment, as indicated
    by the polarity symbols (+ and -) above the compartment.

4.  Replace the cover.

NOTE:  If the radio operates erratically or does not receive strong FM 
       stations, replace the batteries.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

To power the radio from your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket, you need a
DC adapter (not supplied) such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 270-1560.

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 requirements.  Using an adapter
           that does not meet these specifications could seriously damage
           the radio.

           Always plug the adapter into the radio before you plug it into
           the cigarette lighter socket.  Always unplug the DC adapter from
           the cigarette lighter socket before you unplug it from the
           radio.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 6V.

2.  Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the radio's DC 6V jack.

3.  Insert the adapter's cigarette-lighter plug into the vehicle's
    cigarette lighter socket.

Using AC Power

To power the radio with AC power, you need an AC adapter (not supplied). We
recommend Radio Shack Cat. No. 273-1662.

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 requirements.  Using an adapter
           that does not meet these specifications could seriously damage
           the radio.

           Always plug the adapter into the radio before you plug it into
           the AC outlet.  Always unplug the AC adapter from the AC outlet
           before you unplug it from the radio.

NOTE:  Follow the adapter's instructions to set the voltage switch to 6
       volts and select the proper adaptaplug.

1.  Insert the adaptaplug into the radio's DC 6V jack.

2.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

SETTING THE CLOCK

After you connect power, SEC flashes on the display and the clock begins
to run.

Follow these steps to set the time.

1.  Press and hold TIME ADJ. ADJ flashes on the display.

2.  While holding down TIME ADJ, press HR to set the hour.

3.  While holding down TIME ADJ.  press MIN to set the minute.

    NOTES:  To advance the settings rapidly, press and hold HR or MIN.

            PM appears when the clock displays a PM hour.  AM appears when
            the clock displays an AM hour.

4.  Release TIME ADJ.  ADJ disappears.

USING EARPHONES

You can use the built-in speaker to listen to the radio.  Or, you can use
stereo earphones (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug to listen in private.

Insert the earphones' 1/8-inch plug into the radio's earphone jack.

NOTE:  The built-in speaker disconnects when you plug in earphones.

USING THE STAND

You can use the stand on the back of the radio to prop it up so you can
easily see the clock display.  Simply lift the stand away from the radio
and set the radio on a flat surface.
