5.1 Powering the Radio

Your radio can be powered by two methods:

1. AC Power:
   • Insert the included AC power cord into the AC power input jack on the back of the radio.
   • Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard wall outlet (120V AC, 60Hz).
2. Battery Power:
   • Open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the radio.
   • Insert 4 new AA batteries (not included) into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
   • Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Note: When the AC power cord is connected, the radio will automatically draw power from the AC source, even if batteries are installed. Remove batteries if not using for extended periods to prevent leakage.

5.2 Antenna Adjustment

For optimal FM reception, fully extend the telescopic antenna. For AM reception, the radio has a built-in ferrite bar antenna, so antenna adjustment is generally not required, but rotating the radio itself may improve reception.
