plus
alarm
times
programmed
into
memory.
When
on

does
not
light,
nor
will
the
radio
or
alarm
operate.

is
recommended
for
longer
memory
hoiding
time.
NOTE:
Carbon
zinc
batteries
NEDA
1604
may
be
used
but
memory
holding
time
will
be
substantially
reduced.
Memory
holding
time
for
fresh
alkaline
batteries
will
be
up
to
8
hours,
which
should
take
care
of
short
nuisance
type
AC
power
failures.
To
preserve
battery
life,
the
radio
should
remain
plugged
into
an
AC
outlet.
The
batteries
should
be
removed
if the
radio
is
unplugged
for
lengthy
periods.
As

drops
and
the
radio
may
not
be able
to
hold
memory.

your
batteries
periodically.

Antennas
AM
—
A
built-in
ferrite
rod
antenna
eliminates
the
need
for
an
outside
antenna
for
AM
reception.
Rotating
the
radio
slightly
may
improve
reception
for
distant
AM
stations.
FM
—
The
power
cord
acts
as
your
FM
antenna
when
the
connecting
bar
is
in
contact
with
the
FM
ANT
screw
terminal
located
on
the
bottom
of
your
set
as
shown
in
FIG.
1.
The
power
cord
antenna
picks
up
moderate
to
strong
stations
and
eliminates
the
need
for
an
external
antenna
in
most
strong
signal
areas.
Be
sure
the
power
cord
is stretched
out
to
its
full
length.
Do
not
coil
or
bunch
the
cord
together.
Changing
position
of
the
power
cord
may
improve
reception.

Outside
Antenna
The
use
of
an
OUTSIDE
FM
antenna
will
usually
provide
an
improvement
in
overall
perfor-
mance.
Always
consult
your
General
Electric
dealer
or
serviceman
for
assistance
regarding
outside
antenna
installations.
He
will
recommend
the
type
of
antenna
that
provides
optimum
reception
in
your
locality
and
ways
to
install
it
safely
for
protection
against
lightning
hazards.
