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 opt affect the FM Band.
If you have any questions please contact customer service at (888)726-4326, (562)941-9900 or sewvice@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.

Your radio will automatically reconnect if the Bluetooth device is brought back into range. Be aware that during the period of disconnection. no other Bluetooth device can pair or link with your radio.
• If WR-55″ shows up in your Bluetooth device list, but your Bluetooth device cannot connect with it, please delete the item from your list and pair the Bluetooth device with the radio again following the steps described previously.
• The effective operation range between the radio and the paired Bluetooth device is approximately 10 meters (30 feet). Any obstacle between the system and the device can reduce the operational range.
• Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected Bluetooth device. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device before connecting it to your radio. Not all features may be supported, depending on the Bluetooth device used.

The WR-55 can memorize up to 6 sets of paired Bluetooth devices, when the memory exceeds this amount, the earliest device with which the radio was paired will be overwritten in the radio’s memory.
If your Bluetooth device has paired  with the WR-55 previously, the radio will still remember your Bluetooth device and attempt to reconnect with the device that was last connected.
Disconnecting your Bluetooth device
Rotate the Mode knob to select any mode other than Bluetooth mode to disconnect with your Bluetooth device or tum off Bluetooth function on your Bluetooth device to disable the connection.
