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:

unless you are qualified 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 “switchmode” 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.

Charge time may vary and in some cases may take longer to charge than when using the manufacturers charging unit supplied with the smart phone. The radio can charge the iPhone, smart phone or similar devices when the radio is in power on or standby mode.
IMPORTANT

The USB jack can only provide power to USB devices with a 1A 5V maximum input. It does not support external Hard disk drives, and some mobile phones or electronic devices.
The charger may not supply power to some USB devices.
Do not connect a power source to the USB port. Otherwise there is a risk of fire. The USB port is only intended for charging lower voltage devices.
Do not insert a nail, wire, etc. into USB power supply port. Otherwise a short circuit may cause smoke or fire.
Do not connect this USB socket with your PC USB port, as it is highly possible that it may cause breakdown of both units.
