TURNING ON AND OFF
The YB 550PE can be turned on by the two methods shown
below. To turn it off, press the 
(2).
1. BATTERY SAVER / SLEEP TIMER METHOD:
Perform a quick, short press of the 
(2). This causes the radio to shut off automatically after 90
minutes. Note that 
(32) appears in the display. To change the time from 90 minutes to a time of your prefer- ence, use the + and – buttons (7, 8) immediately after press-
ing the 
button, allowing selection of 1 – 120 minutes of play time. The number of minutes that you last set are also used the next time the radio is turned on.
2. TIMER-DEFEAT METHOD:
This method defeats the automatic 90 minute timer and causes the radio to stay on until deliberately turned off. Hold the 
button down for about 2 seconds, then release. Note that ‘YB550’ appears in the display for about 5 seconds, then the radio turns on.
