Operating Instructions

Thank you for choosing the Sony FM/AM
Radio ! The FM/AM Radio will give you many
hours of reliable service and listening pleasure.
Before operating the Radio, please read these
instructions thoroughly and retain them for future
reference.

• High power output radio.
• Long battery life with two R20 batteries.
• Easy to carry with the supplied carrying strap.

• Do not open the unit. Refer servicing to qualified

personnel only.

• Operate the unit only on 3 V DC with two size D

(R20) batteries.

• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, direct

sunlight, moisture, sand, dust, or mechanical
shock.
Never leave in a car parked in the sun.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,

remove the batteries, and have the unit checked

further.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker,

keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding

prevent possible damage from the magnet.

• To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened

with a mild detergent solution. Never use
abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they
