IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING READ, UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to heed all warnings listed below, may result in electric shock,
fi re and/or serious personal injury.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Read these instructions.
• Keeps these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
Never
immerse the apparatus in liquid or allow a liquid
to fl ow inside the apparatus. Water entering an ap-
paratus will increase the risk for electric shock.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
Certain cleaning
agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include:
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thin-
ner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents containing ammonia. Clean
dust and debris from vents. Keep the apparatus
handle clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
• Do not block any ventilation openings.
Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources
such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appara-
tus (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar-
ized or grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fi t into your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus. Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord to carry the radio or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock and may create a fi re.
• Use only attachments/accessories specifi ed
by the manufacturer.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods. Remove
power supply from outlet when not in use.
• Only plug power supply into readily accessibly
outlet to allow the appliance to be unplugged
quickly.
• Only operate this apparatus in a well ventilated
area.
• Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service personnel.
Servicing is required when the radio has been dam-
aged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the radio, the radio has been exposed
to rain or moisture or does not operate normally.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualifi ed
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• A battery operated radio with integral batteries
or a separate battery pack must be recharged
only with the specifi ed charger for the battery.
A
charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fi re when used with another
battery.
• Use battery operated radio only with specifi -
cally designated battery packs.
Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of fi re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fi re.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors.
There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
• Do not use any adaptor plugs.
• When operating a radio outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
• Never disassemble the radio or try to do any
rewiring on the radio's electrical system.
• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping and
splashing, or place objects fi lled with liquids
on this unit.
• Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for a free
replacement.
• This radio is designed to be powered by the
Milwaukee 12 volt AC/DC power supply Cat. No.
23-81-0700, or a 12 volt MILWAUKEE Li-ion bat-
tery pack.
Do not attempt to use with any other
voltage or power supply.
• WARNING:
Changes or modifi cations to this unit
not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harm-
ful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is con-
nected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
This equipment has been tested and found to com-
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-
ant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

Double Insulated Radios:
Radios with Two Prong Plugs
Radios marked “Double Insulated” do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfi es OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable standards of Underwrit-
ers Laboratories, Inc., the
Canadian Standard Associa-
tion and the National Electri-
cal Code. Double Insulated
radios may be used in either
of the 120 volt outlets shown
in Figures A and B.
