STANDARD AC POWER

To power your receiver from an AC outlet, you need an AC adapter (such as
Cat. No. 273-1654).

CAUTIONS:  You must use an AC adapter that supplies 3 volts DC power and
           delivers at least 300 milliamps.  Its center tip must be set to
           negative, and it must have a plug that properly fits your
           receiver's DC 3V jack.  Using an adapter that does not meet
           these specifications could damage your receiver or the adapter.

           If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 1 hour, all
           information stored in memory will be lost.  We recommend you
           keep the batteries installed when you use the AC adapter to
           protect the memory from a power loss.

Follow these steps to power the receiver AC power.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V.

2.  Connect the adapter's black barrel plug to the adapter's cord with the 
    TIP set to -NEG.

3.  Insert the barrel plug into the receiver's DC 3V jack.  This
    disconnects the internal batteries.

4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.

VEHICLE BATTERY POWER

To power your receiver from a vehicle's battery power, you need a DC
adapter (such as Cat. No. 270-1560A).

CAUTIONS:  The vehicle must have a 12-volt, negative-ground electrical
           system.

           You must use a DC adapter that supplies 3 volts DC adapter that
           supplies 3 volts DC power and delivers at least 300 milliamps. 
           Its center tip must be set to negative, and it must be set to
           negative, and it must have a plug that properly fits your
           receiver's DC 3V jack.  Using an adapter that does not meet
           these specifications could damage your receiver or the adapter.

           Plug the adapter into your receiver before you plug it into the
           cigarette-lighter socket.  Also, unplug the adapter from the
           cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from your
           receiver.  An unconnected plug might touch a metal object and
           damage the adapter or your vehicle's electrical system.

Follow these steps to power your receiver from your vehicle's battery
power.

1.  Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V.

2.  Connect the adapter's orange barrel-plug to the adapter's cord with
    TIP set to -NEG.

3.  Insert the adapter's barrel plug into the receiver's DC 3V jack.  this
    disconnects the internal batteries.

4.  Plug the other end of the adapter into your vehicle's cigarette-
    lighter socket.
