Personal FM Transceiver
(210-1811)                 Preparation                Faxback Doc. # 51075

Your radio uses 4 AA batteries (not supplied) for power.  We recommend
alkaline batteries (available at your local RadioShack store).  You can
also use rechargeable nickel-cadmium  batteries (such as Cat. No. 23-325)
and charge them in the radio with an AC adapter (Cat. No; 273-1662 or
273-1767).  See "Charging Rechargeable Ni-Cd Batteries" below.

CAUTION:  Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
          (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries
          of different capacities.

1.  Rotate VOLUME fully counterclockwise, then press the tab on the
    battery compartment cover and open the cover.

2.  Slide the switch inside the compartment to ALKALINE (for alkaline
    batteries) or Ni-Cd (for rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries).

3.  Install the batteries according to the polarity symbols (+ and -)
    marked inside the cover, then close the cover.

When (battery symbol) appears, replace the batteries.

CAUTION:  Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  Do not burn or
          bury them.

Charging Rechargeable Ni-Cd Batteries

CAUTIONS: You must use an AC adapter that supplies 9.0 volts and delivers
          at least 300 mA.  Its center tip must be set to positive and its
          plug must fit the radio's CHRG jack.  The recommended adapter
          meets these specifications; using an adapter that does not could
          damage the radio or the adapter.

          The charger is to be used to recharge the batteries only. Do not
          attempt to use the charger to operate the transceiver.
          The transceiver is designed to be operated on batteries ONLY!

Note:  Charge only Ni-Cd batteries in the radio.  To prevent overcharging,
       use an external charger to charge Ni-MH batteries.

1.  Turn off the radio and open the battery compartment.

2.  Slide the switch inside the compartment to Ni-Cd.

3.  Put 4 AA Ni-Cd batteries in the compartment as shown on the back of
    the radio, then close the cover.

4.  Attach the adapter's 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3 mm inner diameter plug
    to the adapter and set the tip to positive (+).

5.  Connect the adapter's plug to the radio's CHRG jack and plug its other
    end into a standard AC outlet.

6.  When charging is complete (about 15 hours), disconnect the adapter
    from the outlet and the CHRG jack.
