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. Be-
cause of its close proximity, its signal is too strong. To reduce signal
strengths, place the DX/LOCAL switch into the 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.
