PLAYING THE RADIO

Follow these steps to play the radio.

Warning:  To protect your hearing, set the volume to its lowest setting
          before you turn on the radio.

1.  Set POWER/ON-OFF to ON.

2.  Set FM ST/FM/AM to the desired band.  Set it to FM ST for stereo
    sound on FM stations.

3.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.

4.  Turn TUNING UP/DOWN to select the desired radio station.

5.  Adjust BALANCE LEFT/RIGHT to balance the sound between the left and
    right speakers.

    Notes:  When you tune to an FM stereo station with the band switch
            set to FM ST, the FM stereo indicator steadily lights.

            For best FM reception, fully extend and swivel the telescoping
            antenna.

            The AM antenna is built-in.  Move the radio to improve AM
            reception.

            To improve reception for weak FM stereo stations, set FM
            ST/FM/AM to FM.  The sound is mono (monaural), but the
            reception improves.  To return to stereo sound, set FM
            ST/FM/AM to FM ST.

USING HEADPHONES

Follow these steps to connect a pair of optional headphones so you can
listen to the radio in privacy.

1.  Set VOLUME to its lowest position.

2.  Insert the headphones's 1/8-inch plug into the radio's HEADPHONES
    jack.  This disconnects the built-in speakers.

3.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable level.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use headphones.

      Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.  Extended high-volume
      listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

      Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.
      After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable
      listening level.

      Once you set the volume, do not increase it.  Over 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 headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
      bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some
      areas.

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