An appliance cord is the power cord that must be plugged into an electric outlet before a small electric appliance such as a toaster, steam iron, hand mixer, or radio will work.
Any outlet that is on a wall or counter back splash that is used for your convenience to plug in anything that is to be used in a temporary situation such as a toaster, mixer, radio etc.is a convenience outlet. All 120 volt outlets, in the US and Canada, that are not designated for a specific usage.On the other hand a designated outlet is for a specific usage such as for a washer, dryer, dishwasher, garbage disposal, oven or etc. that is plugged in and stays plugged in.
Radio
They do make base station CB radios, which run off of 120v AC power.
One is AC and the other is DC. AC- alternating current is used in electrical outlets DC- direct current is used in batteries. An electrical outlet in your house would have 120 volts (the ones you use most, your tv, lights, radio are plugged into) or 240 volts (the ones your stove and dryer plug into). A battery voltage varies widely: AA & AAA batteries have 1.5 volts, a 9 volt battery has 9 volts, your car battery has 12 volts.
Check the fuzes.
It is not plugged in.

Yes portable radios pick up the same stations as a regular radio there just portable instead of having to be plugged into a wall outlet.
Usually, radios have a slot at the back or bottom where you can insert batteries (Often AA). If it does not have a slot, and isn't solar powered or anything, then contact the radio manufacturer, who will tell you how to use batteries. If the radio has to be plugged into a socket outlet and has no slots for any batteries, then the only way you can use batteries to supply it with power is to use an electronic power inverter unit. Several types are available. The most common can use a 12 volt battery and has a socket outlet into which you can plug the radio.

A radio that gets power from batteries instead of the outlet on the wall.
-- A radio receiver should be hardly noticeable to the electrical system in a home or commercial building. Unless it feeds a theater-size audio system, a radio receiver typically uses less electrical power than an ordinary light bulb. -- If the radio is turned off, then as far as the electrical wiring is concerned, that's exactly the same as pulling the plug out of the wall socket. So, whether it's on or off, plugged in or not, a radio receiver would have to be seriously broken to have any effect on a circuit breaker.
I would check to be sure the power cord is securely attached, both to the computer and to the outlet. If you are hooked into a surge protector or outlet adapter, but sure it is on and not in need of being reset. Then be sure the wall outlet is working (plug in a lamp or radio or something). (Be sure,too, that your screen is powered on - I have had people who thought their computer was off when it was just their screen was not turned on!) If everything appears to be working and plugged in and your computer still will not boot up, I would either call a service technician, or carry it in to be checked - it could be the power supply inside of your computer box.
If you turn up your interior dashboard light settings, then the radio display will be brighter too. The radio dims to the setting for the dashboard when the lights are turned on.
If your radio plugs into the wall outlet for power, then there are points inside it that would shock you if you were to touch them.
It will not because either you are pressing the wrong button or it is not plugged in Try the fuse.
