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 DX/LOCAL switch into the LOCAL position. Also, try retuning the station with the FINE TUNING control.

RESET PROCEDURE
When performing a ‘reset’, assure that the batteries in use are good. If the radio does not function and the solutions below do not resolve the problem, perform a ‘reset’. To do this, remove the batteries and press/release the small, round button recessed into the battery compartment floor, using a straightened out paper clip or ballpoint pen. Reinstall the bat- teries and test the radio. If it still does not resolve the prob- lem, try again, pressing the button two or three times.
