For better reception, follow these instructions.
• For FM broadcasting, adjust the angle of the
antenna.
• For AM broadcasting, adjust the orientation
of the unit.
• For indoor use, place the unit in a location
where it is easy to receive radio waves.
• Avoid placing the unit near TVs, microwave
ovens, or other electric devices that emit
radio waves.
Precautions
• Operate the unit only on 3 V DC with two
R6/LR6 (size AA) batteries.
• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes,
direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or
mechanical shock. Never leave in a car
parked under the sun. Do not place the unit
under lighting equipment that may become
hot.
• Should anything fall into the unit, remove
the batteries, and have the unit checked by
qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the
speaker, keep personal credit cards using
magnetic coding or spring-wound watches
away from the unit to prevent possible
damage from the magnet.
• When the casing becomes soiled, clean it
with a soft dry cloth moistened with mild
detergent solution.
• Never use abrasive cleansers, paint thinner,
benzine, alcohol, or similar materials, as
they may deform the casing.
• Make sure not to splash water on the unit.
This unit is not waterproof.
• Listening with this unit at high volume may
affect your hearing. For traffic safety, do not
use this unit while driving or cycling.
• Note on static electricity
Static electricity accumulated in the body
may cause mild tingling in your ears. To
reduce the effect, wear clothes made from
natural materials, which suppress the
generation of static electricity.
• Depending on the strength of radio signals,
the TUNE (tuning) indicator may not light up
even if a broadcast is being received.
Furthermore, the indicator may light up
incorrectly due to extraneous noise even
when a broadcast is not being received. Use
the TUNE indicator as a reference.
• When connecting headphones (not
supplied) to the unit, use headphones with
a stereo (3-pole) or monaural (2-pole) mini
plug. Sound may not be heard when using
other types of plugs.

can still listen to the radio for a short period of time.
Notes on batteries
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or
mix different type of batteries.
• When you are not going to use the unit for
a long time, remove the batteries to avoid
damage from battery leakage and
corrosion.
