HELPFUL HINTS
Excessive heat can damage your Radio. Avoid leaving
it in high temperature areas such as in direct sunlight,
a closed auto or on a heated surface.
Replace the battery with a fresh one when sound
begins to fade or becomes distorted. If you feel your
radio needs servicing, check it first with a fresh battery;
the old one may be weak or defective.
Radios are sensitive to direction. For clearer reception
rotate the Radio to different positions. When inside
a steel or concrete building, place the Radio near a
window for better reception.
Correct FM tuning is very important for good sound.
Make sure your Radio is correctly tuned. In weaker
reception areas, extend antenna to its full length.
