Its center tip is set to negative. Using an adapter that does  
not meet these specifications could seriously damage the radio or  
the adapter.  
Be sure you connect the AC adapter to the radio before you  
connect it to the AC outlet, and then disconnect it from the AC  
outlet before you disconnect it from the AC outlet before you  
disconnect it from the radio. Otherwise, the unconnected plug  
might touch some metal and damage the adapter.  
Follow these steps to power the radio from a standard AC outlet.  
1. Set the adapter's voltage switch to 4.5V.  
2. Insert the green-tipped Adaptaplug's black end into the AC adapter's  
cord so it reads TIP NEG.  
3. Insert the Adaptaplug's other end into the radio's DC 4.5V jack.  
NOTE: Connecting an AC adapter automatically disconnects internal  
battery power.  
4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.  
USING VEHICLE BATTERY POWER  
You can power the radio from a vehicle's battery using an optional DC  
adapter, such as Radio Shack Cat. 270-1560 (not supplied)  
CAUTIONS: The vehicle must have a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical  
system.  
The recommended DC adapter supplies 4.5 volts, delivers 300  
milliamps, and its plug correctly fits the radio's DC 4.5V  
jack. Its center tip is set to negative. Using an adapter  
that does not meet these specifications could seriously damage  
the radio or the adapter.  
Be sure you connect the DC adapter to the radio before you con-  
nect it to the cigarette-lighter socket, and then disconnect it  
from the radio. Otherwise, the unconnected plug might touch  
some metal and damage the adapter.  
Follow these steps to power the radio from a vehicle's battery.  
1. Set the adapter's voltage switch to 4.5V.

2. Insert the blue-tipped Adaptaplug's dual pin end into the DC adapter's  
cord to read -TIP-.  
3. Insert the Adaptaplug's other end into the radio's DC 4.5V jack.  
Note: Connecting a DC adapter automatically disconnects internal  
battery power.  
4. Plug the adapter into a vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.  
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE  
To listen to the radio in privacy, insert the supplied monaural earphone's  
1/8-inch plug into the EAR jack.  
NOTE: Connecting an earphone automatically disconnects the internal  
speaker.  
Listening Safely  
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use the ear-  
phone.  
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume  
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.  
Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.  
Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears  
adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not cause  
discomfort might still damage your hearing.  
Traffic Safety  
Do not wear the earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a  
bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.  
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear some outside  
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a  
traffic hazard.  
USING THE WRIST STRAP  
For your convenience, the radio has a wrist strap. To hang the radio

from your wrist, simply slip the strap over your wrist.

Care and Maintenance  
Faxback Doc. # 17256  
The Radio Shack AM/FM Aircraft Radio is an example of superior design and  
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the radio  
so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the radio dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids  
contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.  
Use and store the radio only in normal temperature environments. Tem-  
perature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage  
batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Handle the radio gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the  
circuit boards and case and cause it to work improperly.  
Keep the radio away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear  
of parts.  
Occasionally wipe the radio with a damp cloth to keep it looking new.  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to  
clean it.  
Modifying or tampering with the radio's internal components can cause a  
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC  
authorization to operate it. If the radio is not performing as it should,  
take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.  
FCC INFORMATION  
The radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating  
properly. To determine whether the radio is causing the interference,  
turn off the radio. If the interference goes away, the radio is causing  
the interference. Try to eliminate the interference by:  
Moving the radio away from the receiver.  
Connecting the radio to an outlet that is on a different electrical  
circuit from the receiver.  
Contacting the local Radio Shack store for help.  
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop  
using the radio.
