SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1)Read and understand all safety and operating instructions before the radio is operated.

2)Retain Instructions: The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3)Heed Warnings: All warnings on the appliance and operating instructions should be followed.

4)Water and Moisture: The appliance should not be used near water. Do not use near a bathtub, washbowl, laundry tub, kitchen sink, wet basement, swimming pool, etc.

5)Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning the exterior of the receiver.

6)Do not place the radio on an unstable cart, stand, bracket or table. The radio may fall, causing serious personal injury and damage to the receiver.

7)Ventilation: This radio should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the radio should not be used on a bed, sofa, rug or other soft surfaces that may block the ventilation openings. It should not be placed in a built-in situation like a cabinet that may reduce air flow through the ventilation openings.

8)Heat: Never put the radio in direct sunlight in an unventilated area or behind glass like a car’s interior. The appliance should be away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.

9)Power Cords: The power cord should be positioned so it is not walked on, pinched, or items placed on top of it. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit. Unplug the power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord. Operate the radio using only the correct type of power source indicated. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

Page 4

10)Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords. This can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock. Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings. The objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could cause a fire or electrical shock.

11)If the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage caused by lightning or power line surges.

12)If the radio is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, remove the batteries. The batteries may leak and damage furniture or your radio.

13)Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself. Removing the cover may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.

14)The receiver is equipped with a polarized type plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of this plug.

15)The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A.The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged, or

B.Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the radio, or

C.The radio has been exposed to rain, or

D.The radio does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, or

E.The radio has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

16)The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing

should be referred to qualified service personnel. This symbol is to alert you to important operation or servicing instructions that may appear in the owner’s manual.

17)Do not charge alkaline batteries. See instructions on page 20.

GETTING STARTED

POWERING YOUR RADIO

Before powering your radio be sure to read the Safety Instructions on pages 4 and 5.

The CCRadio plus will run on (4) “D” size NiCad or alkaline batteries or on 120V AC house current using the included power cord. Batteries are optional. The batteries are necessary to keep the time clock and memories if the power cord is removed from the radio for more than three minutes.

AC OPERATION

Before you plug the AC cord into the radio be sure the AC voltage is 120Volts/60Hz. If you have batteries in the radio and you use the AC power cord, the batteries will automatically be disconnected.

NOTE: If you remove the power cord without turning the radio OFF, the radio will automatically revert to the batteries.

Insert the plug on the end of the supplied power cord into the AC power jack on the back of the radio.

2)Remove the battery compartment cover.

3)Insert the (4) “D” cell batteries into the compartment as indicated in the drawing below. Be sure the negative (-) end is against the spring. Refer to the drawing below to insure correct installation of your batteries.
