The S350 has a backlight to light the display in
low light situations. It can be activated with the
following two methods.
1. To temporarily light the display, perform a
quick, short press on the BACKLIGHT button.

eight seconds.
2. To permanently light the display, press and
hold BACKLIGHT button for more than one
second. The backlight will be turned on until
the BACKLIGHT button is pressed again.

15 USING THE RESET
S350 incorporates with a computer microchip (the
component that controls how the radio operates).
If the radio has been subjected to abnormal envi-
ronmental conditions, the computer microchip
may malfunction and the following symptoms
may appear.
• The display shows nothing and the radio
cannot be turned on by pressing POWER &
SLEEP button.
• The display shows random characters or
does not work properly although the radio
can receive stations normally.
In these cases, you might need to reset the radio.
To reset the S350, unplug the external adaptor (if
one is being used) and remove the batteries from
the battery compartment. Insert a pointed object,
such as straightened paper clip, into the RESET
hole on the right, front side of the radio and gen-
tly press and release the button inside the hole.
Then plug in the AC adaptor or reinstall the
batteries.

The S350 includes a programmable turn-on timer,
which allows it to turn on at preset times, like an
alarm clock. With the radio powered off, hold
down the ALARM button for about three seconds
or until the time digits start flashing, then release
it. While they are still flashing press the HOUR
and MINUTE buttons to set the turn-on time,
then immediately press the AL ARM button. If the
ALARM button is not pressed, the turn-on time
will automatically be set at the time you selected
after 5 seconds.
To activate/deactivate the turn-on timer feature,
with the radio turned off, press the AL ON/OFF
button, causing the symbol of a speaker to
appear in the upper right corner of the display.
When the speaker symbol is in the display, the
turn-on timer feature is activated. When it is not
in the display, it is deactivated.
To see the turn-on time at any time, with the
radio on or off, press the ALARM button. The turn-
on time will then appear in the display for about
four seconds.
