OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Realistic AM/FM Pocket Radio has been
carefully designed to give you many years of reli-
able and enjoyable service. It incorporates 10 tran-
sistors and 6 diodes. We've added two ceramic
filters to assure you of best selectivity. All you
have to do is install the battery and you're ready
to enjoy your sensitive Radio.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Remove the back cover by gently pushing the
"OPEN" tab (at the bottom of the case), in and
upward. Snap a 9-volt battery onto the battery
connector as indicated in the diagram in the com-
partment. We recommend Radio Shack's battery,
Catalog Number 23-151, for reliability and long
life. Replace the compartment cover.
When sound becomes weak and/or distorted, it's
time for a new battery. Use either our Catalog
Number, 23-151 or 23-553 for extra-long-life.
Never leave weak or dead batteries in any battery-
powered device. Even "leakproof" types can leak
damaging chemicals.

NOTES
For FM reception, extend the telescoping antenna
to its full length.
For AM reception, the built-in high-efficiency
ferrite loopstick antenna will pick up even weak
and distant stations ( telescoping antenna not
needed). You will notice that AM reception is
affected by moving and rotating the Radio. This
is normal--position it for best reception.
EARPHONE JACK
For private listening, insert the plug of the ear-
phone into the Earphone Jack; the built-in speaker
will automatically be disconnected.

TIPS
Excessive heat can damage your radio; avoid
leaving it in high temperature areas such as in direct
sunlight, a closed auto or on a heated surface.
Replace used batteries with fresh ones when sound
begins to fade or becomes distorted. If you feel
your radio needs servicing, check it first with fresh
batteries. The old batteries may be weak or
defective. If you are not going to use the Radio for
a few weeks or months, remove the battery before
storing.
Radios are sensitive to direction. For clearer
reception rotate the radio to different positions.
Inside steel or concrete buildings, place the radio
near a window for better reception.
Correct FM tuning is very important for good
sound. Make sure your radio is correctly tuned. In
weaker reception areas, extend antenna to its full
length.
