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
(888)726-4326, (562)941-9900 or service@sangean.com If an AC adapter
isn’t included in this model and if you wish to purchase an AC Adapter
separately, please refer to the specifications for the AC Adapter stated on
the final page of the manual, or please contact Sangean for the correct AC
Adapter and specifications.
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
specifications 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, specifications for the AC Adapter are stated
on the final page of the manual, or please contact Sangean for the correct
AC Adapter and specifications. For customers in the US and Canada, please
call 562-941-9900 or 888-726-4326. For all other areas, please contact us via
contact@sangean.com.
Do not use an AC adapter that does not meet the correct specifications.
Cautions

sand. Do not leave your radio where excessive heat
could cause damage such as in a parked car where the
heat from the sun can build up even though the outside
temperature may not seem too high.
● Your radio should not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and that no
objects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the radio.
● It is recommended to operate the product such that there is a minimum
distance (“4” recommended) to adjacent objects in order to ensure good
ventilation.
