4 CONNECTING TO POWER
USING BATTERIES
Open the battery compartment and insert 4
size D batteries (also called UM-1) according to
the polarity diagram imprinted on the battery
compartment floor.
Please note the following regarding battery
operation:
• The S350DL has a battery power indicator in
the LCD. Fresh batteries will show a full power
level of three bars. If the indicator shows only
one bar or the sound becomes week and
distorted, replace the batteries.
• The radio will turn off automatically if the
batteries become too weak.
• Check the batteries periodically for leakage.
As a precaution, remove the batteries to
prevent possible leakage if it is to be stored for
long periods without use.
• Turn off the radio while replacing the batteries.
USING AC POWER
The S350DL is supplied with an AC adaptor that
converts AC voltage to the DC voltage used by
the radio. Only use the adaptor that is supplied
with the S350DL or one that meets the generic
specifications required by this product: output
of 6 volts, DC, negative polarity; plug-tip outer
diameter of 5.5 millimeter, inner diameter of 2.1
millimeter; capable of 300 milliamperes or greater.
Contact Etón for the name and location of a
retailer that sells the proper adaptor.
NEVER USE AN ADAPTOR THAT DOES NOT MEET
THESE SPECIFICATIONS, AS IT MAY CAUSE DAM-
AGE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
POWERING FROM A CAR OR BOAT 12 VOLT DC
BATTERY SOURCE
This requires a DC converter that converts the 12
volt DC source to the 6 volts required by the radio.
The output of such an adaptor is 6 volts, DC,
negative polarity. The plug-tip must have an outer
diameter of 5.5 millimeter and an inner diameter
of 2.1 millimeter.
The plug-tip is plugged into the radio’s DC jack.
It must be capable of handling at least 200
milliamperes of current. Contact Etón for the name
and location of a retailer that sells the proper
converter.
5 SETTING THE PRELIMINARY CONTROL SETTINGS
Use these controls as initial guidelines. As you
get to know the radio, you will develop your own
‘favorite’ settings.
• Turn the VOLUME control down to no greater
than 3 so that the radio does not play loudly
when first turned on.
• Turn the AM/SW RF GAIN control to the 10
position.
• Turn the BASS-TONE-TREBLE controls into the 5
position.
• Turn the SW LPF switch to the OFF position
(right side of the radio).
• Turn the STEREO MONO switch to the MONO
position.
