READING THE TUNING/
BATTERY METER
The radio’s
TUNING/BATTERY
meter in-
dicates the current signal strength and
the current battery strength (if you in-
stalled batteries).
With
POWER
set to
ON
and
RADIO/P.A.
set to
RADIO
, the position of the needle
on the top portion of the meter shows
the current signal strength on a scale of
0 (weakest signal) to 10 (strongest sig-
nal).
With
POWER
set to
ON
and
RADIO/P.A.
set to
P.A.
, the position of the needle on
the lower (green-shaded) portion of the
meter shows the current battery
strength. The needle points toward the
right when the battery strength is strong,
and moves to the left as the battery
strength weakens.
USING THE P.A. (PUBLIC
ADDRESS) FUNCTION
Follow these steps to connect a micro-
phone with
1
/
8
-inch (3.5-mm) plug (not
supplied) to the radio and set the radio
so you can hear sound from the micro-
phone through the radio’s speaker.
Note: Your local RadioShack store car-
ries a wide selection of microphones.
