AC Operation (Adapter Not Included)

The DC Input Jack is located on the back cabinet and covered by a water resistant
silicon gasket. Lift the left side of the gasket to expose the jack but do not completely
remove the gasket from the cabinet.

If you decide to purchase an optional AC adapter we recommend that you buy the
“Universal” type adapter that includes several different size plugs to fit the most
popular size input jacks, and also allows you to change the output voltage setting.
These “Universal” AC adapters are available at Radio Shack stores and wherever
electronic accessories are sold.

The adapter for your shower Radio/CD Player should have the following specification:

Input Voltage: 120V AC 60Hz.
Output Voltage: 9V DC, 500mA.
Plug Type: Center pin 2 mm, Female Type with Positive Center.

Negative (–)

Positive (+)

Insert the small end of the plug into the DC Input Jack on the back cabinet of your
radio. Then connect the adapter to your household outlet.

Note: When the AC adapter is connected to the back of the radio the batteries
are automatically disconnected. You must disconnect the AC adapter from the
back of the radio in order to operate the radio on batteries.

IMPORTANT: NEVER USE THE AC ADAPTER WHEN THE RADIO IS BEING
USED INSIDE THE SHOWER. USE THE AC ADAPTER ONLY WHEN THE
RADIO IS NOT EXPOSED TO EXCESS WATER OR MOISTURE. NEVER
TOUCH THE AC ADAPTER WITH WET HANDS.
