ADDITIONAL PL-600 CONTROLS
USING THE LOCK BUTTON
Pressing the LOCK button causes all
button-activated controls to be 'locked'
and the lock symbol appears in the lower
right corner of the display. A long press
engages the LOCK feature. Another long
press disengages it and the symbol
disappears.
This is an excellent feature to use when
traveling, as it keeps the radio from being
accidentally turned on. Before placing the
radio into a suitcase, purse or briefcase,
turn it off and then lock it. This control
does not disengage timer functions.
While you are listening to a favorite radio
station and want not to be shut off
accidentally, you can also lock the radio.
