Precautions
• Operate the unit only on 3 V DC with two R6 (size AA) batteries.
ForAC operation, use the AC-E311 IAC-E312 AC power adaptor•.
Do not use any othertype.
For
car batteryoperation, use thecarbatterycord recommended for
this unit;

dampened with mild detergentsolution. Neveruseabrasivecleans-
ers or chemicalsolvents, as they may mar the casing.
• When there is lightning and you are using an external antenna,
immediatelydisconnect the AC power adaptor (if connected) from
the wall outlet. Nevertouch the antenna wire
when thereis a
lightningstorm.
• Neverconnect a ground wireto a gas pipe.
• Reception of 3.0 MHz may be difficult because of internal spurious
signalsgenerated by the built-in oscilators.
• In vehicles or buildings, radio reception maybe difficult or noisy.
Trylistening neara window.
•The AC power adaptor is supplied only for the ICF-SWlOOS.
