The CCRadioplus will run on (4) “D” size NiMH or alkaline batteries or on 120V AC house current using the included power cord. Batteries are optional. The batteries are necessary to retain the timer, clock, and memory settings if the power cord is removed from the radio for more than three minutes.

Before powering your radio be sure to read the Safety Instructions on pages 27 and 28.

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.
