FEATURES

Your RadioShack Multi-Band AC/DC
Portable Radio is designed to provide
high-quality sound while you listen to up
to 10 different radio bands. The portable
design lets you use it almost anywhere.
Its features include:

Multiple Power Options — let you
power the radio with standard AC power
using the supplied cord, batteries (not
supplied), or your car’s cigarette-lighter
socket (using an optional DC adapter).

MIC

 Jack — lets you connect a micro-

phone with a 

1

/

8

-inch plug (not supplied)

to the radio and hear sound from the mi-
crophone through the radio’s speaker
(like a public address system).

AFC (Automatic Frequency Control)
— provides drift-free FM reception and
reduced sound distortion.

Carry Strap — easily attaches to the ra-
dio so you can carry it with you almost
anywhere.

Direction Finder — directional antenna
lets you fine-tune the radio to improve
AM reception.

Caution: The directional antenna
(

DIRECTION FINDER

) on top of the radio

is not a handle. To avoid damaging the
antenna, do not lift or carry the radio us-
ing the antenna. (Use the provided carry
strap instead.)

We recommend you record your radio’s
serial number here. The number is in-
side the radio’s battery compartment.
