WILL NOT TURN ON

1.Assure that the LOCK feature is not engaged.

2.Assure that the radio has power (batteries installed or AC adaptor plugged in.

3.Assure that batteries are inserted with correct polarity

4.Assure that the batteries are not depleted

5.If using an AC adaptor, assure that it is plugged 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.

SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE PLAYING DURING BATTERY USE

This is caused by depleted batteries. Replace them.

SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE BEING MOVED DURING AC ADAPTOR USE

This is usually caused by a broken wire or loose con- nection in the AC adaptor’s cord or if the AC adap- tor’s plug-tip is of the wrong diameter.

OPERATES ERRATICALLY

Perform a RESET, as described in the section titled

RESET PROCEDURE.

• 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.
