Your radio might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating
properly. To determine whether your radio is
causing the interference, turn offyour radio. If
the interference goes away, your radio is
causing it. Try to eliminate the interference
by:
• moving your radio away from the
receiver
• contacting your local RadioShack store
for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the
FCC requires that you stop using your radio.
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC
Rules
. Operation is subject to the condition
that this device does not cause harmful
interference.

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use the headphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• 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.

Do not wear headphones while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can
create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some area.
Even though some headphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at
normal levels, they still can present a traffic
hazard.

Keep the radio dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediately. Use and store the radio only in
normal temperature environments. Handle
the radio carefully; do not drop it. Keep the
radio away from dust and dirt, and wipe it
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
