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, 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 bat- tery acid leakage is not covered under warranty.
