Questions and answers
We had power cut and now radio wont work although power restored
The Pure SONUS-1 SONUS-1XT radio may not be working after a power cut because it could be in standby mode. If the display is on but most buttons do not work, check for a standby indicator on the screen. If present, the radio is in standby and needs to be reactivated. Additionally, a power cut might affect the time signal; tuning to a different multiplex may fix clock-related issues.
