Multiband Self-Powered Radio

Your RadioShack Multiband Self-Powered Radio lets you enjoy
music, sports, and news almost anywhere, even without conven-
tional batteries.

Emergency Alarm — lets you use the radio to sound a shrill, re-
peating beep when you are in distress.

Multiple Power Options — lets you power your radio from either
the built-in power generator and supplied rechargeable battery
pack, 2 AA batteries (not supplied), your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket (using an optional DC adapter), or AC power (using an op-
tional AC adapter).

Telescoping Antenna — provides the best radio signal for FM,
WX (weather) and SW (shortwave) bands. A built-in AM antenna
provides quality AM reception.

Important: The EPA certified RBRC
