size and recommended type.
• Never mix fresh and old batteries, batteries of different types (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
• Never leave dead or weak batteries in
the radio. They can leak chem icals that
can damage the radio.

you are using the power cord, for a
month or more, remove the batteries.

Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you begin
listening, adjust the volume t o a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase
it. Over time, your ears adapt to the v olume level, so a volume level that does not
cause dis comfort might s till damage your
hearing.
Your Radio Shack AM/FM Portable Radio is
an example of superi or design and c raf tsmanship. The following suggestions will help you
care for the radio so you can use it for years.
• Keep the radio dry. If it gets wet, immediately wipe it dry. Liquids might contain
minerals that can corrode the electronic
circuits.
• Use and store the radio only in normal
temperature environments. Temperature
extremes can sho rten the life of electro nic
devices, damage batteries and distort or
melt plastic parts.
• Handle the radio gently and carefully.
Dropping it can damage its circuit board
and can cause the radio to work improperly.
• Keep the radio away from dust and dirt,
which can cause premature wear of parts.
• Wipe the radio with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the radio.
Modifying or tampering with the radio’s internal components can c ause a malfunction and
might invalidate the radio’s warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your
radio is not performin g as it should, take it to
your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
