Troubleshooting guide
Before requesting service, make the following checks. If you are in doubt
about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do
not solve the problem, refer to “Customer Services Directory (United States
and Puerto Rico)” on page 1.
No operation.
The hold function is on. Switch the function off.
Poor reception status. A lot of noise or distortion.
• (For AM broadcasting) reorient the unit.
• (For FM broadcasting) change the length or reception angle of the rod antenna.
• You may have difficulty in listening to the radio inside a building or on a vehicle
because of weakened radio waves. Use as near a window as possible.
• If the unit is used near another radio or electronic equipment such as TV or video,
interference may occur, generating noise. Try turning off the power of the nearby
radio, TV, video, etc.
• If the unit is suddenly transported from a cool place to a warm place, it may
not operate normally. This is because condensation could have occurred in the
operating part of the unit. With the power turned off, leave the unit as it is until it
conforms to room temperature. After about 60 minutes, it is restored to normal.
• Moving a mobile phone close to the unit can cause noise. Use the unit away from
any mobile phone.
• When the remaining battery level becomes low, sound may result in low volume or
may be distorted. Crank the handle to charge or replace the dry-cell batteries.
No sound comes out of the unit.
The volume sets to the minimum. Adjust with the [VOL] button.
The unit was hand cranked and charged, but it cannot be operated.
The battery selector switch in the [DRY BATTERY] position. Switch to
[RECHARGEABLE BATTERY].
Dry-cell batteries were put in the unit, but it does not operate on the dry-cell
batteries.
The battery selector switch in the [RECHARGEABLE BATTERY] position. Switch to
[DRY BATTERY].
Even after the rechargeable batteries are charged, the runtime is shorter than usual.
• The runtime may become shorter if the rechargeable batteries are charged for the
first time or after hours of nonuse. They are restored to normal after repeated use.
• When battery runtime is extremely shorter than normal even if it is charged, it would
be considered to be at the end of its life.
The built-in rechargeable batteries are designed specifically for this unit. Please
contact the sales store where you bought the unit for replacement of the
rechargeable batteries.
The display panel light often flickers or goes out.
When the battery level becomes low, the display light tends to flicker or go out.
Crank the handle to charge or replace the dry-cell batteries.

cables, only use adequate accessories with a cable length of less than 3 m
(9.8 ft.).
