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 to you, its signal is too strong. To reduce signal strengths, place the ANTENNA GAIN switch into the

M or L position. Also, try retuning the station with the FINE TUNING control.

THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT HAS A STICKY LIQUID OR DRIED WHITE POWDER IN IT

This is the result of battery acid leakage. Battery acid leakage is not covered by warranty. Do not throw away the leaked batteries and immediately contact their manufacturer.
