VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

Sangean suggest that you keep your AC Adapter at least 12 inches away from the radio while listening to the AM Band.

Your Sangean Radio is powered by an AC adapter which is a “switching” or “switch-mode” type.

The DOE (Department Of Energy) has a Federal mandate; requiring all manufactures to use this type of power supply.

This newer power saving technology has the unfortunate side effect of causing interference to the AM radio band.

Therefore, we recommend that customers keep at least a 1 foot distance between the AC adapter and the radio. This interference will not affect the FM Band. If you have any questions please contact customer service at [phone], [phone] or [e-mail]

If an AC adapter isn’t included in this model and if you wish to purchase an AC Adapter separately, please refer to the specifications for the AC Adapter stated on the final page of the manual, or please contact Sangean for the correct AC Adapter and specifications.
