Grundig YB550PE Using the Lock Switch, Preventing Battery Acid Leakage, Troubleshooting

USING THE LOCK SWITCH

Placing the LOCK switch into the ON position will render all buttons and the FINE TUNING control inoperative. If the radio is turned on while LOCK is on, the volume control is still operative. This is an excellent feature to use when traveling. Before placing the radio into a suitcase, purse or briefcase, turn it off and then lock it. This will prevent accidental turn- on and battery drainage.

PREVENTING 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. Battery acid leakage

is not covered by warranty and voids the warranty.

TROUBLESHOOTING

RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON

•Assure that the LOCK switch is in the OFF position

•Assure that the radio is powered by either batteries or an AC adaptor

•Assure that the AC adaptor is plugged into the household outlet (mains socket) and into the radio’s DC socket. Take care not to plug it into the ear phone socket or the anten- na socket. The AC adaptor may be defective

•Assure that batteries are inserted with correct polarity

•Assure that the batteries are not depleted

CLOCK SHOWS IN DISPLAY, BUT RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON

There are two possibilities: dead batteries or the LOCK switch is ON.

SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE PLAYING DURING BATTERY USE

This is caused by depleted batteries.

SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE BEING MOVED DURING AC ADAPTOR USE

This is caused by a broken wire or loose connection in the AC adaptor cord.
