Knowing when to replace the batteries

When the batteries become weak, the sound becomes weak and distorted.

When the batteries are completely exhausted, “E” appears on the display and the power is turned off.

When “E” appears, replace all batteries with new ones. After the batteries are replaced, press OPERATE to turn the indication off.

Notes on replacing the batteries

• Do not take more than about 1 minutes to replace the batteries, otherwise the clock, any lists of receivable broadcasts for DAB scan, preset favourite stations and all settings will be initialized. Should that happen, set the functions again.

• If the batteries are replaced while the power is on, the unit may revert to the factory setting.

Notes on batteries

• Do not attempt to recharge dry batteries.

• Do not carry batteries with coins or other metallic objects. It can generate heat if the positive and negative terminals of the batteries are accidentally contacted by a metallic object.

• If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion.

• Do not use different types of batteries at the same time.

• When you replace the batteries, replace all with new ones.

To reset the unit

(See fig. E)

Press this button with a pointed object when the radio fails to function properly.

The clock settings, and the services and stations you have preset, etc., will revert to the factory preset.

Precautions

• Operate the unit only on the power sources specified in “Specifications”. For battery operation, use six LR14 (size C) alkaline batteries. For AC operation, use only the supplied AC power cord. Do not use any other type of AC power cord.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is used in temperatures higher than this range, numbers may appear in the display which have nothing to do with the frequency being received. If it is used in temperatures lower than this range, the numbers displayed may change very slowly. (These irregularities will disappear and there will be no damage to the unit when the unit is used in the recommended temperature range.)

• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc. is located on the bottom exterior.

• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or mechanical shock. Never leave in a car parked in the sun.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the AC power cord and remove the batteries, and have the unit checked by a qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• In vehicles or buildings, radio reception may be difficult or noisy. Try listening near a window.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep away personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches from the unit to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

• To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.
