its plug must fit the radio's DC 6V jack. Using
an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the radio or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC adapter to the radio
before you connect it to AC power. When you
finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power
before you disconnect it from the radio.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the radio for a
month or more, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
You can use your radio while charging the
batteries if you connect it to a DC-DC
regulated and filtered adapter (such as
RadioShack Cat. No. 273-1859), but not if you
