CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL ANTENNA
FOR BETTER AM RECEPTION:
Your radio has a built-in AM antenna for reception of strong, local
broadcasts. For improved reception, you can connect an external AM
antenna. Your local RadioShack store has a wide selection of AM antennas.
To connect an external AM antenna to your radio, use a Philips screwdriver
to loosen the screw on the external antenna terminal, slide the external
antenna's spade lugs underneath the screw head, then tighten the screw.
FOR BETTER FM, TV, OR UHF RECEPTION:
Your radio has a telescoping antenna for FM, TV, and UHF reception.
NOTES:
When you use the telescoping antenna for FM or TV reception, be sure
the metal straps are connected.
When you use the telescoping antenna for UHF reception, be sure the
metal straps are connected.
For improved reception, you can connect an external antenna. Your local
RadioShack store has a wide selection of antennas.
Follow these steps to connect an external FM, TV, or UHF antenna to your
radio.
1. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the external antenna
terminals.
2. Slide the external antenna's spade lugs underneath the screw heads,
then tighten the screws.
NOTE: When you attach both external FM/TV and UHF antennas, be sure
the metal straps are connected as shown.

Operation
Faxback Doc. # 37835
OPERATING THE RADIO
WARNING: To protect your hearing, turn VOLUME to its lowest setting before
you turn on the radio.
1. Push in POWER to ON.
2. Set FM/AM/TV to the desired band. If you selected the TV band, set TV
BAND to the desired setting.
3. Rotate the tuning knob to select the desired station.
NOTES:
To precisely tune to a weak FM station using automatic frequency
control, slide AFC to OFF. Rotate the tuning knob to select the
desired station, then slide AFC to ON for drift-free reception.
For the best FM, TV, and UHF reception without connecting an external
antenna, extend the telescoping antenna to its full length.
For AM stations, rotate the radio to the position that provides the
best reception.
4. Adjust TREBLE, BASS, and VOLUME for the best sound.
5. To turn off the radio, push POWER to OFF.
USING AN EARPHONE
For private listening, plug a monaural earphone (not supplied) with a 1/8
inch plug into the EAR jack on the right of the radio. This automatically
disconnects the built-in speaker.
Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of earphones.
LISTENING SAFELY:
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an earphone.
Set the volume to the lowest level before you begin listening. After
you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable listening
level.
Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume
listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.
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 an earphone while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle. This can cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.
Even though some earphones are designed to let you hear outside sounds when
listening at normal volume levels, they still present a traffic hazard.
