(200-0209)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 3584

CHOOSING A POWER SUPPLY

You can power the receiver using:

    Four AA batteries

    Standard AC power (with optional AC adapter)

    A 12-volt DC Vehicle System

INSTALLING BATTERIES

1.  Open the battery compartment by pushing the cover in the direction of
    the arrow.

2.  Install four AA batteries (such as Radio Shack's 230-0552) in the
    battery compartment observing the correct polarity symbols (+ or -) as
    shown on the back of the receiver.

    Place batteries on top of the removal ribbon so that you can lift them
    easily for replacement.

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover.

USING STANDARD AC

You can power the receiver from standard AC if you use an AC adapter (We
recommend Radio Shack's Cat. No. 273-1454, not supplied).

Insert the adapter's small connector into the DC 6V socket on your
receiver.  Then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet.  When
you use AC power, the internal batteries automatically disconnect.

CAUTION:  Using an adapter other than the one recommended could cause
          PERMANENT DAMAGE to the receiver.

USING A VEHICLE BATTERY

With a DC adapter such as RadioShack's Cat. No. 273-1802 (not supplied)
you can operate the receiver in a car, boat, or recreational vehicle
equipped with a 12-volt DC, negative-ground electrical system.

Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the receiver's DC 6V jack.  Set the
adapter's 6V/9V selector to 6V.  Plug the other end of the adapter into
the vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.  When you connect the adapter, the
internal batteries automatically disconnect.

CAUTION:  Do not let the adapter's barrel plug contact any metal parts of
          the vehicle when you plug the adapter into the lighter socket. 
          This can damage the adapter or the vehicle's electrical system.
