Thank you for choosing Tecsun Radios Australia product. Please read this manual carefully before operating the radio and keep it for future reference.
Do not leave the radio near heat sources, such as heaters or hot air ducts, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, humidity, rain, mechanical
vibration or shock.
Use the radio within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. If it is used in
temperatures outside this range, an irregular display may appear. If it is used in
temperatures below this range, the display may change very slowly. The radio will
return to its normal condition when the radio is used in its recommended
temperature range once again.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with
items such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. Ensure a
minimum distance of 5cm around the radio for sufficient ventilation.
Do not expose to water. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the radio.
This receiver is a sensitive electronic device and may malfunction and require
the user to power reset, if power is momentarily interrupted.
Disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet completely when the radio is not to
be used for a long period of time.
The name plate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located at the rear of the
radio
Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal credit cards using
magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the radio to prevent them
from possible damage caused by the magnetic field.
Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe.
Do not drop or apply excessive force to the radio. Malfunction may occur as a

of pinching.
Damage to hearing can occur with consistent exposure to high volume when

AC operation
Before plugging the AC cord into the radio, make sure the AC voltage is correct.
Insert the plug on the end of the supplied power cord into the AC power socket
on the back of the radio.
DC operation
The radio can also be operated by connecting a 9V DC power adaptor with 2.5
Amp capacity and center positive polarity to the DC 9V jack on the rear panel.
Using AC power adaptors with different specifications (polarity of the plug, etc.)
will result in malfunction and damage to the radio.
Tips:
When an AC cord is connected, the radio automatically switches to the AC cord
power source, regardless of whether the DC power adaptor is connected.
