Turn off the light with a quick shortpress of the button. USING EARPHONES Plug stereo earphones/headphones with a 1/8 inch stereo plug into the earphone socket (13) on the left side of the radio. USING THE DX LOCAL SWITCH Always use the DX position. Use LOCAL only if you live extremely close to the local radio station that you are listen ing to and its power causes audio distortion. ‘DX’ stands for ‘distance’. This position gives the radio maximum sensitivity to radio signals. 22 Check all the segments on LCD All LCD display and model no. segments show 28 * Rechargeable battery to be used 1.2 29 * Normal AA battery to be used 1.5 76 * Set the FM frequency range to 76 108 76108MHz (Japan) 88 * Set the FM frequency range to 87 108 87 –108MHz (N.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION continuedADDITIONAL INFORMATION continued TROUBLESHOOTING RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON • Assure that the LOCK switch is in the OFF position • Assure that the radio is powered by either batteries or an AC adaptor • Assure that the AC adaptor is plugged into the household outlet (mains socket) and into the radio’s DC socket. Take care not to plug it into the ear phone socket or the anten na socket. The AC adaptor may be defective • Assure that batteries are inserted with correct polarity • Assure that the batteries are not depleted CLOCK SHOWS IN DISPLAY, BUT RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON There are two possibilities: dead batteries or the LOCK switch is ON. SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE PLAYING DURING BATTERY USE This is caused by depleted batteries. SHUTS OFF ABRUPTLY WHILE BEING MOVED DURING AC ADAPTOR USE This is caused by a broken wire or loose connection in the AC adaptor cord. 45 USING THE LOCK SWITCH Placing the LOCK switch into the ON position will render all buttons and the FINE TUNING control inoperative. If the radio is turned on while LOCK is on, the volume control is still operative. This is an excellent feature to use when traveling. Before placing the radio into a suitcase, purse or briefcase, turn it off and then lock it. This will prevent accidental turn on and battery drainage. PREVENTING BATTERY ACID LEAKAGE To avoid battery acid leakage, only use high quality alkaline or rechargeable nickelmetalhydride batteries. Never intermix old with new, or different brands or types of batteries. If the batteries leak, immediately contact the manufacturer of the batteries and don’t throw them away. Battery acid leakage is not covered by warranty and voids the warranty. 44 YB 550PEOPERATION MANUAL
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION continuedADDITIONAL INFORMATION continued THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT A STICKY LIQUID OR DRIED WHITE POWDER IN IT This is the result of battery acid leakage. Battery acid leakage is not covered by warranty. Do not throw away the leaked batteries and immediately contact their manufacturer. RESET PROCEDURE When performing a ‘reset’, assure that the batteries in use are good. If the radio does not function and the solutions below do not resolve the problem, perform a ‘reset’. To do this, remove the batteries and press/release the small, round button recessed into the battery compartment floor, using a straightened out paper clip or ballpoint pen. Reinstall the bat teries and test the radio. If it still does not resolve the prob lem, try again, pressing the button two or three times. 47 OPERATES ERRATICALLY Perform a RESET, as described in the section titled RESET PROCEDURE. STATIONS ARE RECEIVED TOO WEAK • Assure that the DX/LOCAL switch is set to the DX position • Assure that the telescopic antenna is pulled up all the way for FM and Shortwave reception • If listening to AM stations, swivel the radio. The internal ferrite bar AM antenna is highly directional THERE IS NO SOUND FROM THE SPEAKER Assure that earphones/headphones are not plugged in and that the volume control is turned up. A STATION CAUSES SEVERE AUDIO DISTORTION, BUT SEEMS TO BE VERY STRONG IN SIGNAL STRENGTH This is probably a strong, local station, very close to your location. Because of its close proximity to you, its signal is too strong. To reduce signal strengths, place the DX/LOCAL switch into the LOCAL position. Also, try retuning the station with the FINE TUNING control. 46 YB 550PEOPERATION MANUAL
