This is probably a strong, local station, very close to your
location. Because of its close proximity to you, its signal is
too strong. To reduce signal strengths, place the DX/LOCAL
switch into the LOCAL position. Also, try retuning the station
with the FINE TUNING control.

This is the result of battery acid leakage. Battery acid leakage
is not covered by warranty. Do not throw away the leaked
batteries and immediately contact their manufacturer.
RESET PROCEDURE
When performing a 'reset', assure that the batteries in use
are good. If the radio does not function and the solutions
below do not resolve the problem, perform a 'reset'. To do
this, remove the batteries and press/release the small, round
button recessed into the battery compartment floor, using a
straightened out paper clip or ballpoint pen. Reinstall the bat-
teries and test the radio. If it still does not resolve the prob-
lem, try again, pressing the button two or three times.
