PREPARATION

POWER SOURCES

You can operate the CTR-110 using:

• Internal battery power (using four C batteries)

• AC power (using an optional AC adapter)

• Vehicle battery power (using an optional DC adapter)

Note: Internal batteries automatically disconnect when you connect an adapter.

Using Batteries

You can power the CTR-110 from four C batteries (not supplied). For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-

551.

1. Turn the CTR-110 on its face, pull the tabs on the battery compartment’s cover and remove the cover.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

3. Replace the cover and snap it shut.

If the CTR-110 does not operate properly or if the sound weakens or distorts, replace the batteries.

Cautions:

• Dispose of the old batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn them.

• Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the CTR-110. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
