PREPARATION
Your radio uses 4 AA batteries (not
supplied) for power. We recom-
mend alkaline batteries (available at
your local RadioShack store). You
can also use rechargeable nickel-
cadmium batteries (such as Cat.
No. 23-325) and charge them in the
radio with an AC adapter (Cat. No.
273-1662). See “Charging Re-
chargeable Ni-Cd Batteries” on
Page 4.
Caution: Do not mix old and new
batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or recharge-
able), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
