If so, you have to use an AC adaptor to restore and charge the batteries to wake up and keep the battery a life. We strongly recommend you to charge the radio every month no matter you use it or not.

• If the set is not used for a long period of time, remove all the batteries to prevent potential damage due to possible battery leakage.

• Do not subject the set to a temperature of over 60 C ( 140 F ) because characteristics of the internal parts may be adversely affected by heat, especially never leave the set in a car exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with the doors and windows closed. The cabinet may become deformed and deterioration of the performance may result.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep magnetized commuter passes, tickets or personal credit cards, recorded tapes, watches etc. away from the radio. The speaker magnet in the radio may damage them.

• Do not place the set near strong magnets such as those used in radio, television sets, speaker boxes etc. as these may cause the frequency to drift.

• Do not drop or give the set a strong impact since the set is composed of precise parts.

• When listening in a train car or building, use the radio near a windows to obtain the best possible reception.Receptionmaybedifcultinatunnelorsubway.Alsonotethatoperatingtheradioonametal object may adversely affect reception.
