FEATURES Your Optimus Multiband PLL Radio is de- signed for your active lifestyle. Its portable, lightweight design lets you listen to music, sports, or news almost anywhere you go. The radio tunes the AM, FM, SW (short wave), TV sound, and weather bands. The radio’s alarm clock and sleep timer features make it convenient for daily use.
PREPARATION CONNECTING POWER Your radio requires four AA batteries (not supplied) for power and two AAA batteries (not supplied) for clock and memory backup. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batter- ies. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Connecting an AC Adapter You can power the radio using a 6V, 300-mA AC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug er (neither supplied). Both are available at your local RadioShack store. Cautions: You must use a Class 2 power source that supplies 6V DC and delivers at least 300 mA.
• 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.
OPERATION USING THE CLOCK You can use the clock to keep track of the time in two different time zones. Follow these steps for each time zone to set the clock in that zone. Press POWER ON/OFF to turn off the radio, then press DUAL TIME to select Time 1 or Time 2.
