AM/FM Clock Radio   (120-1601)         Battery          Faxback Doc. # 7108

REMOVING THE PACKING SLIP

Before setting the clocks time, the packing slip must be removed.

1.  Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to
    remove it.

2.  Remove the packing slip by pulling it away from the clock radio.

3.  Replace the cover.

The radio can be operated by using internal batteries, AC power, or a
vehicle's battery.

You can use four AA batteries to power the radio.  We recommend alkaline
batteries such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-552.

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover.

2.  Install four AA batteries as indicated by the polarity symbols
    (+ and -) marked in the battery compartment.  Place the batteries over
    the black ribbon so they can be easily removed later.

3.  Replace the cover.

CAUTIONS:  Remove the batteries if they will not be used to power the
           radio for a week or more.

           Do not leave weak or old batteries in the clock radio.  Weak,
           aging batteries can leak chemicals that might damage the radio.

AC POWER

The radio can be powered from a standard AC outlet with an adapter
(not supplied) such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 273-1650A.

CAUTION:  An AC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least 150
          milliamps must be used.  It's center tip must be set to 
          negative, and its plug must correctly fit the radio's DC JACK.
          Radio Shack Cat.  No. 273-1650A meets these specifications.
          Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could
          seriously damage the radio or the adapter.

1.  Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the radio's DC JACK.

2.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

NOTE:  Connecting the adapter automatically disconnects the internal
       batteries.

VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

The radio can be powered from the vehicle's battery with an adapter (not
supplied) such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 270-1560.

CAUTIONS:

The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system.

A DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least 150 milliamps.
It's center tip must be set to negative and it's plug must correctly fit
the radio's DC JACK.  Using an adapter that does not meet these
specifications could seriously damage the radio or the adapter.

Be sure that the adapter is connected to the radio before it is connected
to the cigarette-lighter socket and that the adapter is disconnected
from the cigarette-lighter socket before it is disconnected from the
radio.  Otherwise, the unconnected plug might touch some metal in the
vehicle and damage the adapter or the vehicle's electrical system.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage to 6V.

2.  Insert the adapter's plug into the radio's DC JACK.

3.  Plug the adapter into the vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.

NOTE:  Connecting the adapter automatically disconnects the internal
       batteries.

REPLACING THE CLOCK BATTERY

The clock is powered by one G13A button-cell battery such as Radio Shack
Cat. No. 23-150.  When the display dims, replace the battery.

1.  Slide the battery compartment cover off the back of the radio.

2.  Remove the four AA batteries (which power the radio) to expose the
    button battery compartment.

3.  Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw holding the battery
    bar.

4.  Install a new battery with the positive (+) side up.

5.  Secure the battery bar with the screw.

6.  Replace the four AA batteries and the battery compartment cover.

NOTE:  If the old clock battery is not replaced in one (1) minute, reset
       the time.

WARNINGS:  Never allow children to play with any battery.  Swallowing a battery
           cell can be fatal.

           Do not dispose of any battery in fire.
