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 specications
for the AC Adapter stated on the nal page of the manual, or please
contact Sangean for the correct AC Adapter and specications.

To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, no
change to the antenna or the device is permitted. Any change to the

To reduce the risk of the electric shock, do not perform any servicing
