AUX-IN MODE
A 3.5mm stereo Aux-In socket is provided on the side behind the rubber cover, for
connecting an external audio device such as MP3 player or CD player (Aux cable not
included with this radio).

AUX-IN
socket.

sockets and radio.
Notes:
Never use the Aux-In socket in rainy or moist conditions to prevent moist from
entering the radio. Keep the rubber cover well closed under these conditions.
The Auto-Power management function will be activated in AUX mode. If there is no
signal* from the Aux-In socket for a period of over 15 minutes, the radio will automatically
switch to standby mode. Pressing the
On/Off
button will wake up the unit.
* Also when the incoming signal from the external device is too low and cannot be
detected for a period of over 15 minutes by the Auto-Power management, the radio will
switch to standby mode.
To prevent this raise the output level of the external device enough to be detected.
