Troubleshooting

Should any problem occur with the unit, make the following simple checks to determine whether or not servicing is required. If the problem persists, consult your nearest Sony dealer. The clock does not show the correct time. Has an electrical power outage lasting more than 1 minute occurred? The radio or buzzer alarm does not sound at the preset alarm time. Has the desired radio or buzzer alarm been activated? (i.e. Is A RADIO or B BUZZER displayed?) The radio alarm is activated but no sound comes on at the preset alarm time. Has VOLUME been adjusted? The preset stations may be deleted from the memory, if a maintenance service is required. Please note down your settings in case you want to preset them again.

Precautions

Operate the unit on the power sources specified in Specifications. The nameplate indicating voltage, etc. is located at the bottom of the unit. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out the plug, not by the cord. Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat source such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that block the ventilation holes. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further. When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing. The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off. Do not connect the antenna lead to the external antenna. If you have any questions, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
