PREPARATION  
CONNECTING TO POWER  
You can power the receiver from internal batteries, standard AC  
power, or your vehicle’s battery.  
Installing Batteries  
You can use three AA batteries (not supplied) to power the receiv-  
er. For the best results and longest life, we recommend alkaline  
batteries such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552.  
Cautions:  
• Always use fresh batteries of the required size and recom-  
mended type.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries  
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries  
of different capacities.  
Follow these steps to install the batteries.  
1. Open the battery compartment cover by  
pressing on the dotted portion and slid-  
ing it in the direction of the arrow below.  
(Illus)  
(Illus)  
2. Slide three AA batteries into  
the compartment according to  
the polarity symbols (+ and –)  
marked inside.  
3. Close the cover.

20-227.fm Page 5 Wednesday, August 4, 1999 10:13 AM  
Cautions:  
• If you will not be using battery power or if you will only use an  
adapter for several months, remove the batteries.  
• Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  
Using Standard AC Power  
To power the receiver from standard AC power, you need an op-  
tional AC adapter, such as Cat. No. 273-1662.  
Note: Connecting an AC adapter disconnects internal batteries.  
Cautions:  
• The AC adapter must be capable of delivering 4.5 volts, its  
center tip must be set to negative, it must deliver at least 200  
milliamps, and its barrel plug must properly fit the receiver’s DC  
IN 4.5V jack. The recommended adapter meets these specifica-  
tions. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications  
could damage the receiver or the adapter.  
• When you finish using the AC adapter, unplug it from the AC  
outlet first, then disconnect it from the receiver.  
Follow these steps to use AC power.

20-227.fm Page 6 Wednesday, August 4, 1999 10:13 AM  
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 4.5V.  
2. Line up the 5.5 mm outer diameter/2.1 mm inner diameter bar-  
rel plug with the adapter’s socket so it reads –TIP, and insert  
the plug into the socket.  
3. Insert the barrel plug into the receiver’s DC IN 4.5V jack.  
4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.  
Using Vehicle Battery Power  
To power the receiver from your vehicle’s battery, you need an op-  
tional DC cigarette lighter adapter, such as Cat. No. 270-1560.  
Cautions:  
• The DC cigarette lighter adapter must be capable of delivering  
4.5 volts, its center tip must be set to negative, it must deliver  
at least 200 milliamps, and its barrel plug must properly fit the  
receiver’s DC IN 4.5V jack. The recommended adapter meets  
these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet  
these specifications could damage the receiver or the adapter.  
• Always plug the DC cigarette lighter adapter into the receiver  
before you plug it into your vehicle's cigarette-lighter socket.  
Always unplug the adapter from the vehicle's cigarette-lighter  
socket before you unplug it from the receiver.  
Follow these steps to power the receiver from your vehicle’s battery.

2. Line up the 5.5 mm outer diameter/2.1 mm inner diameter bar-  
rel plug with the adapter’s socket so it reads –TIP, and insert  
the plug into the socket.  
3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug into the receiver’s DC IN 4.5 V  
jack.  
4. Insert the adapter’s plug into the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter  
socket.  
ADJUSTING THE ANTENNAS  
FM/SW — For the best FM and short-  
wave reception, pull up the telescoping  
antenna’s base, then fully extend the an-  
tenna and position it for the best recep-  
tion.  
(Illus)  
MW (AM) — For the best MW reception,  
rotate the receiver. The receiver uses a  
built-in antenna for this band.  
(Illus)

20-227.fm Page 8 Wednesday, August 4, 1999 10:13 AM  
CONNECTING AN EARPHONE/  
HEADPHONES  
For private listening, you can plug optional mono headphones or an  
earphone with a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) plug (both available at your local  
RadioShack store) into the  
jack on the left side of the receiver.  
This automatically disconnects the internal speaker.  
(illus)  
Listening Safely  
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you use an  
earphone or headphones.  
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-  
volume listening can lead to permanent hearing loss.  
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening.  
After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable  
level.  
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your  
ears adapt to the volume level, so a volume level that does not  
cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.

20-227.fm Page 9 Wednesday, August 4, 1999 10:13 AM  
Traffic Safety  
Do not use an earphone or headphones with your receiver when  
operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle in or near traffic. Doing  
so can create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.  
If you use an earphone or headphones with your receiver, be very  
careful. Do not listen to a continuous broadcast. Even though some  
earphones or headphones let you hear some outside sounds when  
listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic haz-  
ard.

LISTENING HINTS  
Shortwave listening is a hobby with thousands of participants  
worldwide. It requires no special knowledge or skills, but your en-  
joyment increases as you gain experience and develop special lis-  
tening techniques.  
The information in this section can help you make the most of your  
DX-397.  
REFERENCE SOURCES  
Publications about shortwave listening such as Listening to Short-  
wave Radio (available at your local RadioShack store), the World  
Radio Handbook, Radio Amateur’s Handbook, Passport to World  
Band Radio, Monitoring Times, and Popular Communications are  
available through your local library or newsstand. These publica-  
tions can help you learn about the conditions that make long-dis-  
tance reception possible and provide up-to-date listings for  
shortwave broadcasts in English and in other languages.  
FREQUENCY CONVERSION  
A band is a group of frequencies. Sometimes, bands are grouped  
according to their wavelengths, in meters. The tuning location of a  
station can be expressed as a frequency (kHz or MHz) or a wave-  
length (meters).  
Amateur radio operators generally refer to the frequencies they op-  
erate on using the frequency’s wavelength. For example, the 19-  
meter band refers to the range of frequencies with waves about 19  
meters long.  
11  
 
20-227.fm Page 12 Wednesday, August 4, 1999 10:13 AM  
Use the following equations to convert kHz, MHz, and meters.  
To convert MHz to kHz, multiply by 1,000. For example:  
9.62 MHz ¥ 1000 = 9,620 kHz  
To convert kHz to MHz, divide by 1,000. For example:  
2780 kHz ³ 1000 = 2.780 MHz  
To convert MHz to meters, divide 300 by the number of MHz. For  
example:  
300 ³ 7.1 MHz = 42.25 meters  
To convert meters to MHz, divide 300 by the number of meters. For  
example:  
300 ³ 42.25 meters = 7.1 MHz  
BAND ALLOCATION  
International Frequencies

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your RadioShack DX-397 AM/FM/SW 12-Band Portable Receiver  
is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following  
suggestions will help you care for your receiver so you can enjoy it  
for years.  
Keep the receiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry imme-  
diately. Liquids can contain minerals that can cor-  
rode the electronic circuits.  
Use and store the receiver only in normal tempera-  
ture environments. Temperature extremes can  
shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batter-  
ies, and distort or melt plastic parts.  
Handle the receiver gently and carefully. Dropping it  
can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause  
the receiver to work improperly.  
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 looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals,  
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the  
receiver.  
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and rec-  
ommended type. Always remove old and weak bat-  
teries. They can leak chemicals that destroy  
electronic circuits.  
Modifying or tampering with the receiver’s internal components can  
cause a malfunction, invalidate your receiver’s warranty and void  
your FCC authorization to operate it. If your receiver is not operat-  
ing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis-  
tance.  
18  
 
20-227.fm Page 19 Wednesday, August 4, 1999 10:13 AM  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW  
Your receiver might cause radio or TV interference even when it is  
operating properly. To determine whether your receiver is causing  
the interference, turn off your receiver. If the interference goes  
away, your receiver is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference  
by:  
• Moving your receiver away from the receiver  
• Connecting your receiver to an outlet that is on a different elec-  
trical circuit from the receiver  
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help  
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you  
stop using your receiver.

POSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN  
LIMITED WARRANTIES CONTAINED HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED  
HEREIN, RadioShack SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO  
CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY  
LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE  
OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH  
OF THIS WARRANTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES  
RESULTING FROM INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY,  
REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CON-  
SEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RadioShack HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE  
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  
Some states do not allow the limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or  
the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or  
exclusions may not apply to you.  
In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and  
the RadioShack sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store.  
RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the  
defect by product repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the product  
with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price. All re-  
placed parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the  
property of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in  
the performance of warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are  
warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. You will be charged  
for repair or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the warranty  
period.  
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to  
acts of God, abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to fol-  
low instructions, improper installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning or other  
incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs other than those provided  
by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as fuses or  
batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or  
(f) costs of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstalla-  
tion.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights  
which vary from state to state.
