RADIO
Note: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A / IEC 6LR61) battery is recommended. Carbon
Zinc (NEDA 1604 / IEC 6F22) battery may be used but memory holding time will be
substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approxi-
mately 8 hours (if radio or alarm is not operated), which should take care of short,
nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the radio should remain plugged
into an AC outlet. As batteries get older, their voltage drops and memory may be lost.
Be sure to replace the battery periodically. Battery should be removed if the radio will
be stored for more than one day. Leaky batteries may badly damage the clock radio.
8. The station frequency will automatically
revert to the real time after 10 seconds.
To read the station frequency after the
real time is shown, press
Antennas
AM Antenna
-- A built-in ferrite rod an-
tenna eliminates the need for an outside
antenna for AM reception. Rotating the
unit slightly may improve reception of dis-
tant AM stations.
FM Antenna
-- The power cord acts as
your FM antenna. The power cord picks
up moderate to strong stations and
elimiates the need for an external antenna
in most strong signal areas. Be sure the
power cord is stretched to its full length.
Do not coil or bunch the cord together.
Changing position of the power cord may
improve reception.
