PLL Synthesized Weather Radio 
(120-0243)                 Power Sources              Faxback Doc. # 18410 
 
You can power the radio from a 9-volt battery or a standard AC outlet. 
 
USING BATTERY POWER 
 
To use battery power, you need a 9-volt battery, such as Radio Shack 
Cat. No. 23-553 (not supplied). 
 
Follow these steps to install the battery. 
 
1.  Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing down on the cover and 
    sliding it in the direction of the arrow. 
 
2.  Snap the battery connector over the battery contacts. 
 
3.  Place the battery in the battery compartment and replace the cover. 
 
NOTE:  Remove the battery if you do not plan to use the radio for a week 
       or more, or if you use AC power.  Weak batteries can leak chemicals 
       and damage the radio. 
 
USING AC POWER  
 
To power your radio from a standard AC outlet, you need an AC adapter 
(not supplied), such as Cat. No. 273-1650. 
 
CAUTION:  You must use an adapter that supplies 9 volts and delivers at 
          least 50 milliamps.  Its plug must correctly fit the radio's DC 
          9V jack.  Using an adapter that does not meet these 
          specifications could seriously damage the radio or the adapter. 
 
1.  Insert the adapter's 3/32-inch plug tip into the radio's DC 9V jack. 
    Be sure the tip is set to negative. 
 
2.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
