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.
