Important safety instructions
For United States:
Cautions to the user
The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF exposure statements
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, the antenna (s)
used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at
least 20cm (8 inches) from all persons and must not be colocated or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. No change to the antenna or
the device is permitted. Any change to the antenna or the device could result in
the device exceeding the RF exposure requirements and void user’s authority to
operate the device.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guaranty that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
● Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help.

CAUTION:
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To
reduce the risk of the electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than
that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to so.
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ
Sangean suggest that you keep your AC Adapter at least 12 inches away from
the radio while listening to the AM Band.
Your Sangean Radio is powered by an AC adapter which is a “switching” or
“switch-mode” type. The DOE (Department Of Energy) has a Federal mandate;
requiring all manufactures to use this type of power supply. This newer power
saving technology has the unfortunate side effect of causing interference to the
AM radio band.
Therefore, we recommend that customers keep at least a 1 foot distance
between the AC adapter and the radio. This interference will not affect the FM
Band. If you have any questions please contact customer service at (888)726-
4326, (562)941-9900 or [email protected]
If an AC adapter isn’t included in this model and if you wish to purchase an AC
Adapter separately, please refer to the specifications for the AC Adapter stated
on the final page of the manual, or please contact Sangean for the correct AC
Adapter and specifications.
To learn more about the DOE mandate please visit http://www1.eere.energy.
gov/ buildings/appliance_standards/product.aspx/productid/23
Please note not all AC adapters are alike.
The AC adapter that is included with this radio is designed to be used
exclusively with this device. Do not use an AC adapter that differs from the
specifications on the AC adapter that is included.
If an AC adapter is NOT included with your radio and in order not to damage
the unit and void your warranty, specifications for the AC Adapter are stated
on the final page of the manual, or please contact Sangean for the correct
AC Adapter and specifications. For customers in the US and Canada, please
call 562-941-9900 or 888-726-4326. For all other areas, please contact us via
[email protected].
Do not use an AC adapter that does not meet the correct specifications.
Cautions
Do not allow this radio to be exposed to water, steam or
sand. Do not leave your radio where excessive heat
could cause damage such as in a parked car where the
heat from the sun can build up even though the outside
temperature may not seem too high.
● Your radio should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the radio.
● It is recommended to operate the product such that there is a minimum distance (4”
recommended) to adjacent objects in order to ensure good ventilation.
● The ventilation of the product should not be restricted by covering it or its ventilation
openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains etc.
● No open flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed on the product.
● It is recommended to avoid using or storing the product at extr eme temperatures.
Avoid leaving the unit in cars, on window sills or in direct sunlight etc.

show “- : - -”.
Whenever the adaptor is used, the batteries are automatically disconnected. The
AC adaptor should be disconnected from the AC outlet when not in use for long
periods of time.
IMPORTANT
The AC adaptor is used as the means of connecting the radio to your
power supply. The AC Adapter used for the radio must remain accessible
during normal use. In order to disconnect the radio from the power supply
completely, the AC Adaptor should be removed from the power supply outlet
completely.
Backup battery operation

and will stop scanning automatically when it finds a station of sufficient
strength.
4.
Alternatively, to scan down in frequency, first press the Tuning control
button to switch to the tuning control mode and the “FM” or “AM” will flash
on the display. Rotate the Tuning control knob in an anti-clockwise direction
and then press and hold the Tuning control button. Your radio will scan in
a downwards direction and stop automatically when it finds a station of sufficient
strength.
5.
After a few seconds the display will update. The display will show the frequency
of the signal found. If the signal is strong enough and there is RDS data present
then the radio will display the station name. When the end of the frequency band is
reached your radio will recommence tuning from the opposite end of the frequency
band.
6.
To adjust the volume, press the Tuning control button again to switch to the volume
control mode. Rotate the Volume knob to adjust the sound level as desired.

Listening music via Bluetooth streaming
You need to pair your Bluetooth device with your RCR-40 before you can auto-link
to play / stream Bluetooth music through your RCR-40. Paring creates a ‘bond’ so
two devices can recognize each other.
PairingandplayingyourBluetoothdeviceforthefirsttime
1.
With your radio switched on, press the Source button to select Bluetooth (BT)
function. “BT PAIRING” will appear on the display. Both “PAIRING” and the
Bluetooth icon will flash to show the radio is discoverable.
2.
Activate Bluetooth on your device according to the device’s user manual to
link to the radio. Locate the Bluetooth device list and select the device named
“RCR-40” (With some Smartphone’s that are equipped with earlier versions
than BT2.1 Bluetooth device, you may need to input the pass code “0000”).
3.
Once connected, there will be a confirmation tone sound and the display will
change to “BT LINKED”. The Bluetooth icon will remain illuminated. You can
simply select and play any music from your source device. The volume control
can be adjusted from your source device, or directly from the radio.
4.
Use the controls on your Bluetooth-enabled device or on the radio to play /
pause and navigate tracks.
Note:
● If 2 Bluetooth devices are pairing for the first time, both must search for your
radio, it will show its availability on both devices. However, if one device links
with this unit first, then the other Bluetooth device will not be found on the list.
● If you take your source device out of range, the connection will be temporarily
