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 learn more about the DOE mandate please visit http://www1.eere. energy. gov/buildings/appliance_standards/

product.aspx/productid/23

Please note not all AC adapters are alike.

The AC adapter that is included with this radio is designed to be used exclusively with this device. Do not use an

AC adapter that differs from the specications on the AC adapter that is included.

If an AC adapter is NOT included with your radio and in order not to damage the unit and void your warranty,

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

correct AC Adapter and specications. For customers in the US and Canada, please call 888-726-4326. For all

other areas, please contact us via [e-mail].

Do not use an AC adapter that does not meet the correct specications.
