Notes on chip component replacement
· Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
· Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be
damaged by heat.
Flexible Circuit Board Repairing
· Keep the temperature of soldering iron around 270°C
during repairing.
· Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the
circuit board (within 3 times).
· Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering
or unsoldering.

Setting the Clock
The display will flash "0:00" when the batteries are
installed or the AC power adaptor is plugged in for
the first time.
The clock can be adjusted when the radio is off.
1 To stop flashing of the display, press
CLOCK (mb/CLOCK for ICF-M410S).
2 While holding down CLOCK, turn
TUNE/TIME SET to set the clock to the
current time.
When you turn the control knob a little to
or
, the clock digits move forward or back one
by one, and when you turn the control knob
further to
or
, the clock digits move
rapidly.
When you release CLOCK, the clock starts
operating, and ":" starts flashing.
24-hour system : "0:00" = midnight, "12:00" =
noon
