Using AC Power
To power the radio with AC power, you need an AC adapter such as
RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1663 (not supplied).
Cautions:
• You must use an AC adapter that supplies at least 6 volts and delivers
at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative and its
plug must fit the radio’s
DC 6V jack. The recommended adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these spec-
ifications could damage the radio or the adapter.
• 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.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage
switch to 6 volts.
2. Attach the adapter’s 5.5 mm
outer diameter/2.1 mm inner
diameter adaptaplug to the
adapter, with TIP set to –.
3. Insert the adaptaplug into the radio’s DC 6V jack.
4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Using Vehicle Battery Power
To power the radio from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket, you need
a DC adapter such as RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1802 (not supplied).
Cautions:
• You must use a DC adapter that supplies at least 6 volts and delivers
at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative and its
plug must fit the radio’s
DC 6V jack. The recommended adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these spec-
ifications could damage the radio or the adapter.
