Preventing accidental operation
— HOLD function
This function prevents the radio from being unintentionally turned on, or the
radio service frequency from being accidentally changed. Slide HOLD in the
direction of the arrow. When any key is pressed, “

” blinks for 3 seconds
and all buttons on the radio become inoperative.
To cancel hold, slide HOLD in the opposite direction of the arrow.
To reset the unit (See fig. )
Press this button with a pointed object when the radio fails to function properly.
The clock settings, and the services you have preset, etc., will revert to the factory
preset.
Precautions
Operate the unit only on the power sources specified in “Specifications”. For
battery operation, use four LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries. For AC operation,
use only the supplied AC power adaptor. Do not use any other type of AC
power adaptor.
The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is
used in temperatures higher than this range, numbers may appear in the display
which have nothing to do with the frequency being received. If it is used in
temperatures lower than this range, the numbers displayed may change very
slowly. (These irregularities will disappear and there will be no damage to the
unit when the unit is used in the recommended temperature range again.)
The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located on the bottom
exterior.
Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust
or mechanical shock. Never leave in a car parked in the sun.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, disconnect the AC power
adaptor and remove the batteries, and have the unit checked by a qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
In vehicles or buildings, radio reception may be difficult or noisy. Try listening
near a window.
Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using
magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the unit to prevent
possible damage from the magnetism.
To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.
