Installation

POWER SOURCES

You can power your receiver from:

    Internal battery power (two alkaline C batteries).

    Standard household AC power (with an optional AC adapter).

    Vehicle battery power (with an optional DC adapter).

Internal Battery Power

You can power the receiver with two C batteries.  For best performance, we
recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-551.

CAUTION:  If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 1 hour, all
          information stored in memory will be lost.  To keep the
          frequencies stored in memory, keep the batteries installed.

NOTES:  Replace the batteries when BATTERY appears on the display.

        Before you replace the batteries, be sure to turn off the
        receiver's power.

Follow these steps to install the batteries.

1.  Push the cover in the direction of the arrow and remove it from the
    battery compartment.

2.  Remove the old batteries and discard them immediately.

WARNINGS:  If you do not plan to use the receiver for a month or more,
           remove and store the batteries.

           Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the receiver.  they
           can leak chemicals and corrode or damage electronic circuits. 
           Always dispose of them promptly and properly.

           Never incinerate batteries.

3.  Place two C batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
    symbols (+ or -) marked beside the compartment.  For easy removal,
    place the batteries on top of the lift-out ribbon.

CAUTIONS:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

           Never mix fresh and old batteries.

4.  Replace the compartment cover.
