INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your armband radio requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard or alkaline).

• If the radio gets wet, open the battery compartment and ensure that the batteries are dry.

Important:

sure and replace the batteries within 45 seconds.

LISTENING SAFELY

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use earphones.

• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volu me to a comfo r ta b l e level.

• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended highvolume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
