PREPARATION  
Caution: Always use fresh bat-  
teries of the required size and  
type.  
SUPPLYING POWER  
Using Internal Battery  
Power  
3. Insert the four AA batteries into  
the battery compartment, as  
indicated by the polarity sym-  
bols (+ and –) above the com-  
partment.  
When you use battery power, your  
radio requires four AA batteries for  
operation and two AAA batteries for  
clock and memory station backup.  
We recommend alkaline batteries  
such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-  
552 and 23-555.  
Follow these steps to install batter-  
ies.  
4. Replace the cover.  
Note: If the radio operates erratically  
or does not receive strong FM sta-  
tions, replace the batteries.  
1. Slide the battery compartment  
cover in the direction of the  
arrow and remove the cover.  
Using Vehicle Battery  
Power  
To power the radio from your vehi-  
cle’s cigarette lighter socket, you  
need a DC adapter (not supplied)  
such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 14-  
844.  
2. Insert the two AAA batteries into  
the battery compartment, as  
indicated by the polarity sym-  
bols (+ and –) inside the com-  
partment.  
Cautions:  
Note: To make it easy to  
remove the batteries later, place  
the batteries on top of the rib-  
bon.  
• You must use an adapter that  
supplies 6 volts with the center  
tip set to negative, delivers at  
least 300 milliamps, and has a  
plug that correctly fits the radio’s  
DC 6V jack. The recommended  
adapter meets these require-  
ments. Using an adapter that  
does not meet these specifica-  
tions could seriously damage  
the radio.

radio’s DC 6V jack.  
2. Plug the adapter into a standard

Traffic Safety  
USING THE STAND  
Do not wear earphones while oper-  
ating a motor vehicle or riding a bicy-  
cle. This can create a traffic hazard  
and is illegal in some areas.  
You can use the stand on the back of  
the radio to prop it up so you can  
easily see the clock display. Simply  
lift the stand away from the radio and  
set the radio on a flat surface.  
Even though some earphones are  
designed to let you hear some out-  
side sounds when listening at nor-  
mal volume levels, they still present  
a traffic hazard.

MAINTENANCE  
Your Radio Shack DX-395 FM/AM/SW1/SW2 PLL Synthesized Receiver is  
an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions  
will help you care for the receiver so you can enjoy it for years.  
Keep the receiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic  
circuits.  
Handle the receiver gently and carefully. Dropping it can dam-  
age circuit boards and cases and can cause the receiver to  
work improperly.  
Use and store the receiver only in normal temperature environ-  
ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic  
devices and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Keep the receiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause  
premature wear of parts.  
Wipe the receiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it  
CLEANER  
looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or  
strong detergents to clean the receiver.  
Modifying or tampering with the DX-395’s internal components can cause a  
malfunction and might invalidate the receiver’s warranty and void your FCC  
authorization to operate it. If your receiver is not performing as it should, take  
it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU  
TO KNOW  
Your radio might cause TV or radio  
interference even when it is operat-  
ing properly. To determine whether  
your radio is causing the interfer-  
ence, turn off your radio. If the inter-  
ference goes away, your radio is  
causing the interference. Try to elim-  
inate the interference by:  
• Moving your radio away from  
the receiver  
• Connecting your radio to an out-  
let that is on a different electrical  
circuit from the receiver  
• Contacting your local Radio  
Shack store for help  
If you cannot eliminate the interfer-  
ence, the FCC requires that you stop  
using your radio.
