into the household outlet (mains socket) and into
the radio’s DC socket.Take care not to plug it
into the earphone socket.Also, assure that the
AC adaptor is of the correct DC voltage output
and polarity and that its plug-tip is of the correct
inner and outer diameter.

This is caused by depleted batteries.Replace them.
SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE BEING MOVED

nection in the AC adaptor’s cord or if the AC adap-
tor’s plug-tip is of the wrong diameter.

RESET PROCEDURE.
STATIONS ARE RECEIVED TOO WEAK
• Assure that the ANTENNA GAIN switch is set to
the DX position.
• Assure that the telescopic antenna is pulled up
all the way for FM and Shortwave reception.
• When listening to AM stations, swivel the radio.
The AM internal ferrite bar antenna is highly
directional.
• On shortwave, adjust the ANTENNA TRIMMER.
THERE IS NO SOUND FROM THE SPEAKER
Assure that earphones/headphones are not
plugged in and that the volume control is turned up.
A STATION CAUSES SEVERE AUDIO
DISTORTION, BUT SEEMS TO BE VERY STRONG
IN SIGNAL STRENGTH
This is probably a strong, local station,very close to
your location. Because of its close proximity to you,
its signal is too strong.To reduce signal strengths,
place the ANTENNA GAIN switch into the NORMAL
or LOCAL position.
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT HAS A STICKY
LIQUID OR DRIED WHITE POWDER IN IT
This is the result of battery acid leakage.To avoid
battery acid leakage, only use high quality alkaline
or rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride batteries.
Never intermix old with new, or different brands or
types of batteries. If the batteries leak,immediately
contact the manufacturer of the batteries and don’t
throw them away. Damage caused by battery acid
leakage is not covered under warranty.
