My radio shuts off after just a few seconds:
Low batteries can cause this situation. Replace them with a new
set of batteries. If the radio is operating on the power adapter,
check for solid connections at the wall outlet and the side of the
radio. Also make sure there is power at the wall outlet.
Stations won't hold in memory:
The memory button settings are being overwritten. When recalling
a station from memory, if you hold the memory button down too
long it will program the current station over your previously stored
station. To recall a station that has been stored in memory, always
press and release the button quickly. To program a new station
into memory, tune to the desired station and then press and hold
the memory button for two seconds until you hear a beep. Also,
please see the section on Memory Tuning on page 13.
The AM reception is poor inside of my building:
Many building materials have adverse effects on AM band listen-
ing. Brick, concrete, stucco, and aluminum siding all have a ten-
dency to absorb or reflect the AM signal. Spanish tiles or metal
roofs are also culprits. To test your AM reception, put batteries in
your radio and take it outside of the building. If your reception is
notably stronger outside than inside the building, an external AM
antenna may be necessary to bring the signal into the building.
Poor reception on FM, TV Audio, or Weather bands:
The Sonido Radio uses its telescopic, or “whip” antenna for FM,
TV audio, and the weather bands. To improve reception of these
bands, fully extend the telescopic antenna. Reception of FM and
weather broadcasts is normally improved with the antenna
extended straight up. TV audio reception usually requires the
antenna to be rotated at an angle. Note: The antenna must be
fully extended to allow it to rotate.
