PREPARATION

CONNECTING TO POWER

You can power the receiver from internal batteries, standard AC
power, or your vehicle’s battery.

Installing Batteries

You can use three AA batteries (not supplied) to power the receiv­er. For the best results and longest life, we recommend alkaline
batteries such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552.

Cautions:

• Always use 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.

Follow these steps to install the batter ies.

1. Open the battery compartment cover by
pressing on the dotted portion and slid­ing it in the direc ti on of the arrow below.

(

2. Slide three AA batteries into
the compartment according to
the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.

3. Close the cover.

4

(

20-227 .fm Page 5 Wed nesday, Au gust 4, 1999 10:13 AM

Cautions:

• If you will not be using battery power or if you will only use an

adapter for several months, remove the batteries.

• Dispose of old batteries pr omptly and properly.

Using Standard AC Power

To power the receiver from standard AC power, you need an op­tional AC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1662.

Note: Connecting an AC adapter di sconnects internal batteries.

Cautions:

• The AC adapter must be capable of delivering 4.5 volts, its

center tip must be set to negative, it must deliver at least 200
milliamps, and its barrel plug must properl y fit the rec eiver’s

jack. The recommended adapter m eets these specifica-

IN 4.5V

tions. Usin g an adapter that does not meet these specifications
could damage the receiv er or the adapter.

• When you finish using the AC adapter, unplug it from the AC

outlet first, then disconnect it from the re ceiver.

1. Set the adapter’s volt age switch to 4.5V.

2. Line up the 5.5 mm outer diameter/2.1 mm inner diameter bar­rel plug with the adapter’s socket so it reads –TIP, and insert
the plug into the socket.

3. Insert the barrel plug into the receiver’s

jack.

4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

To power the receiver from your vehicle’s battery, you need an op­tional DC cigarette lighter adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-1560.

Cautions:

• The DC cigarette lighter adapter must be capable of delivering

4.5 volts, its center tip must be set to negative, it must deliver
at least 200 milliamps, and its barrel plug must properly fit the
receiv er ’s
these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet
these specifications could damage the receiver or the adapter.

• Always plug the DC cigarette lighter adapter into the receiver
before you plug it into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an
earphone or headphones.

• Do not listen at extremely high volum e le vels. Extended high­volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.

• Set the volume to t he lowest setting before you begin listening.
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable
level.

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

20-227 .fm Page 9 Wed nesday, Au gust 4, 1999 10:13 AM

Traffic Safety

Do not use an earphone or headphones with your receiver when
operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle in or near traffic . Doing
so can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.

If you use an earphone or headphones with your receiver, be very
careful. Do not li sten to a continuous br oadcast. Even though some
earphones or headphones let you hear some outside sounds when
listening at normal volum e levels, they still can present a traffic haz­ard.

LISTENING HINTS

Shortwave listening is a hobby with thousands of participants
worldwide. It requires no special knowledge or skills, but your en­joyment increases as you gain experience and develop special lis­tening techniques.

The information in this section can help you make the most of your
DX-397.

FREQUENCY CONVERSION

A band is a group of frequencies. Sometimes, bands are grouped
according to their wavelengths, in meters. The tuning location of a
station can be expressed as a frequency (kHz or MHz) or a wave­length (meters).

Amateur radio operators generally refer to the frequencies they op­erate on using the frequency’s wavelength. For example, the 19­meter band refers to the range of frequencies with waves about 19
meters long.

11

20-227 .fm Page 12 We dnesday, A ugust 4, 1999 10:13 AM

Use the following equations to convert kHz, MHz, and meters.
To convert MHz to kHz, multiply by 1,000. For example:

9.62 MHz ¥ 1000 = 9,620 kHz

To convert kHz to MHz, divide by 1,000. For example:

2780 kHz ³ 1000 = 2.780 MHz

To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of MHz. For
example:

300 ³ 7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters

To convert meters to MHz, divide 3 00 by the number of meters. For
example:

300 ³ 42.25 meters = 7.1 MHz

BAND ALLOCATION

International Frequencies

International commercial broadcasts are found in the following
shortwave bands. Programs (often in English) usually contain
news, commentaries, music, and special features reflecting the cul­ture of the broadcasting country. Reception for this range is best

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack DX-397 AM/FM/SW 12-Band Portable Receiver
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following
suggestions will help you care for your receiver so you can enjoy it
for year s.

Keep the receiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry imme­diately. Liquids can contain minerals that can cor­rode the electr onic circuits.

Use and store the receiver only in normal tempera­ture environments. Temperature extremes can
shorten the life of elect ronic devices , damage batter­ies, and disto rt or melt plastic parts.

Handle the recei ver gently and carefully. Dropping it
can damage circui t boards and cases and ca n cause
the receiver to work improperly.

Keep the recei ver away fr om dust and di rt, whic h can
cause premature wear of parts.

Wipe the receiver with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
receiv er .

Use only fresh batter ies of the requ ired si ze and rec­ommended type. Always remove old and weak bat­teries. They can leak chemicals that destroy
electroni c circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the receiver’s internal components can
cause a malfunction, invalidate your receiver’s warranty and void
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your receiver is not operat­ing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis­tance.

18

20-227 .fm Page 19 We dnesday, A ugust 4, 1999 10:13 AM

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

Your receiver might cause radio or TV interference even when it is
operating properly. To determine whether your receiver is causing
the interference, turn off your receiver. If the interference goes
away, your receiver is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference
by:

• Moving your receiver away from the receiver

• Connecting your rec eiver to an outlet that is on a di fferent elec-

trical circuit from the receiver

• Contacting your local Radi oShack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you
stop using your receiver.
