1. After inserting batteries, or when the set has not been used
for a long period, it might occur that;
- the display shows strange or incorrect information, or
- the PRESET radio stations are not received property, or
- some radio buttons do not operate.
In that case, move the RESET switch to the opposite direction
and back again using e.g. a paperciip. After resetting, the
contents of the memory are lost and the PRESET stations must
be restored.

touching a button, slide the LOCK switch to ON; the word
'LOCK' appears then. Now. the radio buttons are inoperative.
This is useful when carrying the player with you.
