Cautions to the user

The changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the

users authority to operate the equipment.

The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device, pursuant to part

15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communication.

However, there is no guaranty that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualied service personnel only. To reduce the risk of the
electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are
qualied to so.

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.

listen at high volume levels for long periods.
