FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Radio fails abruptly, or reception changes
dramatically during Playback.
A: The Timer may have reached its preset limit,
and shut the Radio OFF, or the Auto ON Timer
may have initiated, causing the Auto ON
Frequency to override the current frequency.
2. There is a lot of noise during Playback.
A: a. The noise may be from the AC adaptor. Do
not use the radio near a computer or other
electronic device.
b. The signal is weak, or not strong enough, or
is shielded by metal or buildings.
c. In Auto Scan mode, if there is a strong
interfering signal, the scan may be interrupted.
Use Auto Scan in places that are clear of
electromagnetic fields.
3. Do I have to take out the battery when I connect
the AC adaptor?
A: No, the unit has a built-in battery protection
circuit. When you use the AC adaptor, the battery
is automatically cut out of the circuit. None of this
affects the battery power for the built-in clock.
(except when you perform the "reset" function)
4. Battery failed to charge in "quick charge" mode.
A: a. The unit supports battery charging during
Power OFF mode only.
b. Check to see that you used the correct steps
to charge the battery.
c. Check to see that you have attached the AC
adaptor correctly, and that the voltage is correct.
5. How do I receive the Single Side Band (SSB)?
A: a. SSB may have no waveform carrier, so no
signal can be received. Try searching for the SSB
signal frequently to be sure you have a signal there.
b. The SSB signal may be outside the meter band,
so you will have to key in the frequency to search
for it. You may find more signal near 7 MHz to 14
MHz.
6. The unit switches from Radio to MP3 unit very
slowly.
A: a. When the MP3 unit if very full, delete some
that you don't need, leaving at least 10KB free
memory.
b. Recorded files may be too long.
7. SSB signals don't come in clearly.
