Frequently Asked Questions - SS-8850 Sogo

What type of batteries does the SS-8850 radio use?

The Sogo SS-8850 radio requires 2 or 3 AA batteries (3 x 1.5 V for a total of 4.5 V). Alkaline batteries are recommended for longer battery life.

How can I improve FM reception?

Extend the telescopic antenna fully for FM. For AM reception, rotate the radio to align the internal ferrite antenna. Avoid placing the radio near metal objects or electronic devices.

Can I use the radio with an AC adapter?

Yes, the radio has a DC input jack (2.1 mm, center positive) that accepts 4.5 V DC. Use a regulated adapter (not included) with at least 500 mA capacity.

How do I clean the radio?

Always disconnect power and remove batteries before cleaning. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Never use harsh chemicals or immerse in water.

The sound is distorted. What should I do?

First, check if the batteries are low and replace them if needed. Lower the volume level; high volume can cause distortion. If using an external device via headphone jack, check the device's output level.

Is there a headphone jack?

Yes, it has a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. Inserting headphones will mute the built-in speaker.

Why does the radio not turn on?

Ensure batteries are correctly inserted (observe polarity) and have sufficient charge. If using an AC adapter, check that it is plugged in and delivering power. Also, check that the power switch is in the 'ON' position.

How can I find the user manual?

The user manual is available for free download in PDF format from notice-facile.com or from the Sogo support page.

Does the radio have a sleep timer?

No, the SS-8850 is a basic analog radio without a sleep timer. You can simply turn it off manually when not in use.

What should I do if the antenna breaks?

Contact Sogo customer support for a replacement telescopic antenna. Avoid trying to repair it yourself, as it may damage the radio.
