• Optimus 12-808, 3 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. • Do not mix old and new batteries, differ- ent types of batteries (standard, alka- line, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. You can also use optional nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries to power your radio. Before you use Ni-Cd batteries, you must charge the

• Optimus 12-808, 4 Connecting an AC Adapter You can power the radio using a 6V, 300-mA AC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug ® adapt- 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. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the radio's DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the radio or the adapter. • Always connect the AC adapter to the radio before you connect it to AC power. When you finish, disconnect the adapter from AC power before you disconnect it from the radio.

• Optimus 12-808, 5 • 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 earphones or headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas. Even though some earphones or head
