General

FM band be used wherever possible as better results in terms of quality and freedom from interference will usually be obtained than on the MW or LW bands.
• Your radio should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects fi lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the radio.
• It is recommended to operate the product such that there is a minimum distance (10cm recommended) to adjacent objects in order to ensure good ventilation.
