CONNECTING POWER  
You can power your cassette player from:  
• internal batteries (not supplied)  
• AC power (using an optional AC  
adapter)  
• your vehicle’s battery (using an  
optional DC adapter)  
Note: Connecting an adapter automatical-  
ly disconnects internal batteries.  
Using Batteries  
Your cassette player uses two AA batter-  
ies (not supplied) for power. For the best  
performance and longest life, we recom-  
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.  
You can also use rechargeable nickel-  
cadmium batteries to power your cassette  
player. Use a battery charger (available at  
your local RadioShack store) to recharge  
nickel-cadmium batteries.

Cautions:  
• Use only fresh batteries of the  
required size and recommended  
type.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries, dif-  
ferent types of batteries (standard,  
alkaline, or rechargeable), or re-  
chargeable batteries of different  
capacities.  
Note: While you replace the batteries, the  
cassette player retains the preset station  
frequencies you stored for about 1 minute.  
To prevent the frequencies from being  
erased, replace the batteries within 1  
minute.  
To install batteries, follow these steps.  
1. Press down and pull the battery com-  
partment cover in the direction of the  
arrow marked on the cover. Lift open  
the cover.  
Caution: The battery compartment  
cover is hinged. Do not try to remove  
it.  
2. Place the batteries in the compart-  
ment as indicated by the polarity sym-  
bols (+ and –) and battery placement

drawings marked on the compart-  
ment cover.  
3. Replace the cover.  
The cassette player’s battery indicator  
shows the amount of battery power re-  
maining. The indicator consists of three  
sections. The more sections that appear,  
the higher the battery power.  
If the indicator blinks or the cassette play-  
er stops operating properly, replace or re-  
charge the batteries.  
Warning: Dispose of old batteries  
promptly and properly. Do not burn or  
bury them.  
Caution: If you do not plan to use the cas-  
sette player for a month or more, remove  
the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals  
that destroy electronic parts.  
Important: This cassette  
player can use nickel-cad-  
mium rechargeable batter-  
ies. At the end of a nickel-  
cadmium battery’s useful  
life, it must be recycled or  
disposed of properly. Contact your local,  
county, or state hazardous waste man-  
agement authorities for information on re-

cycling or disposal programs in your area  
or call 1-800-822-8837. Some options that  
might be available are: municipal curbside  
collection, drop-off boxes at retailers such  
as your local RadioShack store, recycling  
collection centers, and mail-back pro-  
grams.  
Using AC Power  
You can power the cassette player using  
a 3V, 250-mA regulated AC adapter and a  
size A Adaptaplug adapter (neither sup-  
plied). Both are available at your local  
RadioShack store.  
Cautions:  
You must use a Class 2 power source  
that supplies regulated 3V DC and  
delivers at least 250 mA. Its center tip  
must be set to positive, and its plug  
must fit the cassette player’s DC 3V  
jack. Using an adapter that does not  
meet these specifications could dam-  
age the cassette player or the  
adapter.  
• Always connect the AC adapter to the  
cassette player before you connect it  
to AC power. When you finish, dis-  
connect the adapter from AC power

before you disconnect it from the cas-  
sette player.  
Follow these steps to connect the cas-  
sette player to AC power.  
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to  
3V, if necessary.  
2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the  
adapter’s cord so it reads + TIP.  
3. Insert the plug into the cassette  
player’s DC 3V jack.  
4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC  
outlet.  
Using Vehicle Battery Power  
You can power the cassette player from a  
vehicle’s 12V power source (such as a  
cigarette-lighter socket) using a 3V, 250-  
mA regulated DC adapter and a size A  
Adaptaplug (neither supplied). Both are  
available at your local RadioShack store.  
Cautions:  
You must use a power source that  
supplies regulated 3V DC and deliv-  
ers at least 250 mA. Its center tip  
must be set to positive and its plug

must fit the cassette player’s DC 3V  
jack. Using an adapter that does not  
meet these specifications could dam-  
age the cassette player or the  
adapter.  
• Always plug the DC adapter to the  
cassette player before you connect it  
to the power source. When you finish,  
disconnect the adapter from the  
power source before you disconnect  
it from the cassette player.  
Follow these steps to power the cassette  
player from your vehicle’s battery.  
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to  
3V, if necessary.  
2. Insert the Adaptaplug into the  
adapter’s cord, so it reads + TIP.  
3. Insert the plug into the cassette  
player’s DC 3V jack.

hands free while you listen to the cassette  
player.  
Align the belt clip with the matching hole in  
the cassette player and turn the screw  
clockwise, then bend down the clip.  
To remove the clip, turn the screw coun-  
terclockwise.

CONNECTING  
HEADPHONES OR  
SPEAKERS  
To connect your headphones or amplified  
speaker system (not supplied) to the cas-  
sette player, insert the headphones’ or  
amplified speaker system’s 1/8-inch (3.5  
mm) mini-plug into the cassette player’s  
headphone jack.  
Listening Safely  
Follow these guidelines to protect your  
hearing when you use 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 vol-  
ume levels. Extended high-volume  
listening can lead to permanent hear-  
ing loss.  
• Once you set the volume, do not  
increase it. Over time, your ears  
adapt to the volume level, so a vol-  
ume level that does not cause dis-  
comfort might still damage your  
hearing.

Traffic Safety  
Do not wear headphones while operating  
a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This  
can create a traffic hazard and could be il-  
legal in some areas.  
Even though some headphones let you  
hear some outside sounds when listening  
at normal volume levels, they still can  
present a traffic hazard.  
SETTING THE FREQUENCY  
RANGES AND STEPS  
The cassette player is preset to tune to  
frequencies in increments of 10 kHz (AM)  
and 0.2 MHz (FM) in the United States.  
In Europe and some other parts of the  
world, AM and FM frequencies are broad-  
cast in increments of 9 kHz (AM) and 0.05  
MHz (FM). In Japan, AM and FM frequen-  
cies are broadcast in increments of 9 kHz  
(AM) and 0.1 MHz (FM). For proper tun-  
ing, set the frequency steps for AM and  
FM based on your location.  
Note: Changing the frequency ranges and  
steps erases all stored stations.

TAPE TIPS  
We do not recommend long-play cassette  
tapes such as C-120s because they are  
thin and can easily tangle.  
Restoring Tape Tension and  
Sound Quality  
After you play a cassette tape several  
times, the tape might become tightly  
wound on the reels. This can cause play-  
back sound quality to deteriorate.  
To restore the sound quality, fast-forward  
the tape from the beginning to the end of  
one side, then completely rewind it. Loos-  
en the tape reels by gently tapping each  
side of the cassette’s outer shell on a flat  
surface.  
Caution: Be careful not to damage the  
cassette when tapping it. Do not touch the  
exposed tape or allow any sharp objects  
near the cassette.  
USING THE SLEEP TIMER  
You can set the cassette player to play up  
to 5 hours and 59 minutes, then automati-  
cally turn off. The cassette player must be  
on to set sleep timer.

time:

wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
• Use and store the cassette player  
only in normal temperature environ-  
ments.

carefully. Do not drop it.

malfunction and might invalidate its war-  
ranty and void your FCC authorization to  
operate it. If your cassette player is not  
performing as it should, take it to your lo-  
cal RadioShack store for assistance.
