WARNING

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT RE­MOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS IN­SIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, within the equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying
the appliance.

CAUTIONS

TEMPERATURE

Keep your radio away from areas of
excessive heat such as radiators, cooking
appliances, windows or trunks of cars
parked in bright sunlight for long periods.

BATTERIES

When the radio will not be used for a
substantial length of time, remove the
batteries to avoid damage that can result

from corrosion of the cells.

ANTENNA

Be careful not to bend the antenna until its
length is fully extended so that the swivel
joint is visible. After the antenna is fully
extended it can then de rotated 360 to
give the clearest sound.

INTERFERENCE

Shortwave reception is sensitive to
interference from atmospheric conditions
and certain solar phenomena called "sun
spots". Fluorescent lighting fixtures and
television sets may also affect reception.
It is suggested that these latter sources of
interference either be turned off when
using these bands or that the radio be at
least 12 to 25 feet away from them. In
metal frame or reinforced concrete
buildings, the radio should be placed near
a window or used with an external antenna.

NOTE

Air transmission is not continuous
broadcasts like AM and FM. Nothing will be
heard until the sender transmits.

DIRECTION FINDER (AM Antenna)

The direction finder rotates up to 210 only.
DO NOT force rotation beyond this angle.
DO NOT carry the unit by this direction
finder.
