Power Supply This Two-Way portable radio operates on AC Household power or 6 "D" size batteries with automatic AC/DC switching. The batteries are not included with radio and power cord are house in a compartment on the back of the radio. BATTERY OPERATION 1. Gently place the radio on its front with the bottom facing you. 2. Remove the battery/cord storage compartment door by releasing the three compartment door latches then swing door toward you and off 3. Insert the 6 "D" size batteries into the compartment as indicated on the panel inside the compartment. Be sure the + (cap) end of each battery is installed in the direction shown in the battery outline. Insert "bottom row" of batteries first then slide the "top row" under the BATTERY STRAP from the left side of cabinet. Battery Strap 4. Replace the compartment door by first placing the bottom securing tabs into their receptacles, then swing door into position and press until the three latches "snap" into place. NOTE: After a portable radio has been used extensively in battery operation, the quality of the sound may deteriorate or the loudness may decrease. When this happens, the very first thing to suspect is run-down batteries. Further confirmation that the batteries are run down can be made by changing to AC line cord operation. If the sound quality improves the batteries are run down and should be replaced with new batteries. Your SUPERADIO offers exceptional battery life with standard "D" size batteries. Alkaline batteries, although more expensive, offer increased battery life over standard cells. IMPORTANT Since few batteries are actually "leakproof", always remove batteries, (even if new) when storing product unused for over 30 days or using AC continually. For shorter periods of AC operation (up to 30 days) batteries may remain in product. Always remove worn-out batteries as they may leak chemicals which will damage the electronic components and cabinet. When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper manner, according to your state and local regulations. ' 120-VOLT AC OPERATION Remove power cord from compartment and plug into any 120-volt AC household outlet. An opening in the compartment door has been provided to permit AC operation with the door in place. Your radio will automatically convert from battery to AC operation. When finished using radio on AC, be sure to switch POWER ON-OFF switch to OFF. Removing plug from household outlet without switching radio to OFF will automatically revert operation to battery power. FCC Information English FCC Information This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Inc. could void the user's authority to operate this product. This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is "receiving" the interference). • Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference. • Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits. If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/ television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies. SERVICE This product should be serviced only by those specially trained in appropriate servicing techniques. For instructions on how to obtain service, refer to the warranty included in this Guide. Attach your sales receipt to the booklet for future reference or jot down the date this product was purchased or received as a gift. This information will be valuable if service should be required during the warranty period. Purchase date: Name of store: Have a Blast-Just Not in your eardrums! Make sure you turn down the volume on the unit before you put on headphones. Increase the volume to the desired level only after headphone are in place. Operations FM-AM OPERATION 1. Turn radio ON by depressing the POWER ON-OFF switch. 2. Select AM or FM operation with the BAND SELECT switch. 3. For FM reception, lift and extend the Whip Antenna to its fullest length. 4. Turn the volume up by rotating the VOLUME Control in a clockwise direction. 5. Rotate the FM/AM TUNING knob to select your favorite FM or AM station. 6. Precise tuning to distant (or weak) FM stations can be achieved by following the AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) directions. 7. Adjust the VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls to your preferred listening level and tone. 8. To turn radio off, press the POWER ON-OFF switch again. AM BAND AM Band radio stations are assigned broadcast frequencies between 540 and 1700 Kilohertz (KHz). AM transmissions leave the antenna in two types of radio waves - ground waves and sky waves. Ground waves stay close to the ground and can be picked up by receivers in the local area, Sky waves go into the sky and pass thru the ionosphere into outer space. Some sky waves have a tendency to "bounce" back from the ionosphere (especially during the evening hours) and can be picked up by distant receivers. WIDE BAND This "AM ACCENT" switch allows: • Maximum selectivity of adjacent stations in the NORMAL position. • Improved audio fidelity of strong local stations when in the WIDE positon. NOTE: In the WIDE position, you may encounter beat and whistle noises due to adjacent-channel stations in the AM band. This problem may be particularly noticeable during nighttime reception. If this occurs, switch to NORMAL positon. FM BAND FM Band radio stations broadcast on assigned frequencies between 88 and 108 Megahertz (MHz). FM broadcasts are higher frequencies and offer less static and interference from outside sources as well as greater audio fidelity than AM broadcasts. Range, however, is not as great as AM because very little, if any, sky-wave reception is involved at FM frequency range. AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) Automatic Frequency Conrol (AFC) works to assure drift-free FM reception and helps to keep the radio locked-in on the station to which it is tuned. AFC works only on FM, it does not affect the AM operation. Tune to the desired FM station with the AFC SELECT switch in ON position. Under certain conditions, you may not wish to use the AFC. When the desired station frequency is adjacent to a stronger station, the Automatic Frequency Control may tune the set to the stronger station. If this occurs, tune in the desired station with the AFC switch in OFF position. Should switching to ON cause the set to detune to the stronger adjacent station, simply leave the AFC SELECT switch in OFF position. BASS/TREBLE CONTROLS The BASS control enables you to increase or decrease the relative volume of the low-pitched (bass) sounds from the normal (or "flat") control setting. The TREBLE control enables you to increase or decrease the relative volume of the high-pitched (Treble) sounds from the normal (or "flat") control setting. NOTE: These Tone Controls have a large built-in variation range which will enable you to emphasize the various tonal sounds and alter the music you are receiving. You may be able to vary the musical balance of the music until it is almost unrecognizable. The Tone Controls were designed with these extreme range variations to enable you to adjust for your particular listening preference and the program being received. POWER ON-OFF SWITCH The convenient power ON-OFF push button switch enables you to set the VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls, then turn the radio on or off without having to reset the controls each time.

For more information on other products and services, please visit our web site at www.1800customersupport.com/RCA Printed in China Antenna BUILT-IN AM/FM ANTENNAS AM -The BUILT-IN ANTENNA (200 mm Ferrite Rod) is somewhat directional, and on weak stations it may be necessary to rotate the radio for best reception. The FM WHIP antenna is not used for AM reception. FM - The WHIP ANTENNA may be positioned anywhere within an 18O degree arc and is capable of rotating 360 degrees. To use, lift and extend the WHIP to its fullest length. For distant stations, it may be necessary to adjust the WHIP antenna's position for best reception. NOTE: To avoid damaging the WHIP, always lower its sections one at a time starting with the largest diameter. Never lower the WHIP from the tip end since buckling or bending is possible. Be sure the slot provided in the base of the swivel antenna is positioned properly before lowering the WHIP into its holder clip. WHIP ANTENNA REPLACEMENT The whip antenna has been designed so that it is easily replaced in the event it is damaged. The antenna's mounting post goes through a hole in the cabinet top and is held in place by a single screw through the cabinet back. Simply remove the screw and slide the post out of the cabinet top. To install the replacement, reverse the procedure. EXTERNAL AM/FM ANTENNA TERMINALS Although the radio normally provides excellent reception utilizing its builtin antennas, it offers the additional capability of connecting outside AM or FM antennas to the EXTERNAL ANTENNA terminals on the cabinet back. External antennas can be used in poor reception areas (inside steel and concrete buildings) or to improve reception of distant stations. The antenna required for FM differs from the type needed for AM reception. AM - An AM antenna for outside installation connects to the screw terminals on the cabinet back marked AM and GND. FM - You may use your TV antenna or an outside FM antenna. The twin leads connect to the screw terminals marked FM (300 ohm) and GND. IMPORTANT: External antennas are available from local parts stores. Follow all safety instructions (provided with antenna) when installing any outside antenna.

IMPORTER AVC Multimedia, Markham, Ontario, L3R 1E3 © 2008 AVC Multimedia http: //www.1800customersupport.com/RCA http: //www.rcaaudiovideo.com More Information HEADPHONE You can be alone in a crowd with optional headphone that lets you listen in complete privacy. The radio speakers are automatically silenced when you plug headphone into Jack located on the right side of the cabinet. NOTE: The Jack is designed to permit use of stereo headphones with your mono radio but reception will be heard in mono only. USERS CHECK LIST Before seeking service a simple review of the step-by-step instructions may eliminate or clarify your problem. • NO SOUND Is power cord plugged into a working 120V AC outlet? Is POWER ON/OFF switch in ON (depressed) position? Are batteries installed correctly? Are batteries weak? • WEAK OR DISTORTED SOUND Check condition of batteries or operate on AC power. If sound is good on AC power, batteries are weak and should be replaced. AM Reception - Try rotating radio for best reception FM Reception - Fully extend whip antenna. • EXCESSIVELY NOISY RECEPTION The "noise" may be coming from outside sources such as the broadcast program material, electrical "noise" from nearby automobiles, electrical lights (Fluorescent lamps), etc, also, noise will be more noticeable from distant stations. LONG DISTANCE AM LISTENING (DXing) Because your radio is designed for long-range AM reception you will gain added enjoyment receiving broadcasts from distant AM stations. You may listen to news, weather, sports, and other special programming from other cities. A station log has been included to help you keep a DX (long distance reception) record of stations received. Although daytime AM reception is limited to a maximum of a few hundred miles (depending on the strength of the radio station, atmospheric conditions, etc.), at night you may be able to pick up powerful stations over a thousand miles away. This is because AM "sky-wave" signals are reflected off the ionosphere and back to earth in the nighttime hours. DX HELPFUL HINTS The number of stations you are able to receive is a function of many factors. The following may prove helpful: 1. Although the built-in AM antenna will enable you to receive many distant stations, your reception can be improved significantly with the addition of an external AM antenna. 2. The dusk to dawn hours are best for long distance AM reception with sunrise and sunset the optimum times. 3. Clear winter evenings are normally superior to summer because the nights are longer and there is less interference from electrical storms.

Esta radio le ofrece un nivel de actuación muy superior a la radio portátil corriente. Le rogamos que siga las instrucciones paso a paso para que Ud. pueda gozar su radio en su capacidad plena. Abasteciminto de Corriente Esta radio portátil con Potencia de Doble-Via funciona con la corriente casera AC/Alterna, o con 6 pilas tamaño "D", con un interruptor AC/ DC (Corriente Alterna/Directa) automático. Las pilas (no incluidas con la radio), y el cordón de la corriente se guardan en un compartimiento situado en la parte posterior de la radio. FUNCIONAMIENTO DON LAS PILAS 1. Suavemente ponga la radio "boca abajo" con la base de frente a Ud. 2. Quite la puertecilla del compartimiento que guarda las pilas/el cordón soltando los 3 picaportes de la puertecilla, después haga girar la puertecilla hacia Ud. y fuera. 3. Inserte las 6 pilas tamaño "D" dentro del compartimiento de la forma indicada en el diagrama dentro compartimiento. Asegúrese de que los extremos o signos (+) de cada pila sean instalados en la dirección indicada en el esquema. Inserte primeramente las pilas "del fondo", después deslice las "de arriba" debajo del "Battery Strap" (Cintilla de las Pilas) por el lado izquierdo del mueble. Cintilla de las Pilas 4. Vuelva a colocar la puertecilla del compartimiento prirneramente colocando las trabillas de seguridad dentro de los receptáculos correspondiente, después haga girar la puertecilla en posición y presione hasta que las 3 picaportes "chasqueen" en su sitio. AVISO: Después de que una radio portátil haya estado funcionando extensivemente usando las pilas, la cualidad del sonido pueda que se deteriore o la sonoridad tiende a disminuir. Cuando ésto suceda, lo primero quo debe sospechar es que las pilas se están agotando. Para confirmar que las pilas se estén agotando cambie of funcionamiento con el cordón de la corriente AC/Alterna. Si la cualidad del sonido mejorase, las pilas se encuentran gastadas y deben ser reemplazadas con unas nuevas. Su SUPERADIO le ofrece una gran longevidad con las pilas corrientes tamaño "D". Las pilas alcalinas, aunque más caras, también le ofrece más duración que las pilas corrientes. IMPORTANTE Ya que muy pocas pilas son hechas a "prueba de derrame", siempre quite las pilas (aunque sean nuevas) cuando no usa el producto por más de 30 días o cuando usa continuamente la energia CA. Cuando use la corriente AC/Alterna por poco tiempo (un máximo de 30 dias) las pilas pueden quedarse en el aparato. Siempre quite las pilas gastadas porque éstas pueden derramar elementos químicos dañinos a los componenetes electrónicos y al mueble. Cuando deseche las baterías, asegúrese de deshacerse de ellas en una manera apropiada, de acuerdo con las regulaciones locales o del estado. FUNCIONAMIENTO CON LA CORRIENTE DE 120 VOLTIOS AC/ ALTERNA Quite el cordón de la corriente de su compartimiento y enchúfelo dentrol de cualquier tomacorriente casero de 120 voltios corriente AC/Alterna. Una abertura en la puertecilla del compartimiento le permitirá. Su radio automáticamente convertirá su función de pilas a corriente AC/Alterna asegúrese de cambiar el interruptor marcado "POWER ON-OFF" a la posición "OFF" (Apagado). Una vez que Ud. desenchufe el enchufe del tomacorriente casero sin cambiar el interruptor a la posición "OFF" automáticamente el funcionamiento volverá al uso de las pilas.
