I cannot turn on the radio with 2 AAA batteries and press power key

You probably have your hold button on, which is beside the power button. Check your user guide it is #4 on the diagram, or you have your batteries in wrong. No reason it will not work with the batteries. I have had absolutely no problems.

This item is a bit complicated to operate. I noticed that if I press power about 3 times it works. Read the instructions one step at a time.I must say the reception is great though.

Check to see if you have the hold button on. You will see a symbol that looks like a key in trhe upper left corner of the screen. You can not turn on the radio or shut it off if the hold button is on. You need to hold the hold button down a few seconds and the key symbol will go away. You should be able to turn the radio on or off.

Hi there. unfortunately that is the case with my radio as well. You are correct when off it is very hard to find the power/source button. Sorry my friend. I do appreciate you bringing that up because to be honest with you, I never really noticed that. One suggestion is maybe using the remote control???I know it is a pain in the butt to find it when u need it but maybe have it velcrod somewhere close? Good luck!Regards,Erick

To power the unit on just tap the option button, then to power the unit off pause it by pressing the pause/play button, while it's paused hold the option button until it powers off

double tap the console button and clic on the radio icon, it should turn off the radio (but not the console)

take the battery cover off and press the reset button for 2 seconds. Maybe change the batteries as well.

These may sound very basic However:1)The "lock key" may be depressed. 2)It is very easy to install one battery inccorectly. I gave these answers based on your remarks that its dead.Also make sure you are tunning in FM or MW (which is AM) at least during your trouble shooting phase.The last item, be sure that the earphone receptacle on the left side does not have a partial earphone plug in it.All of the above items would make the radio appear "dead", no sound.I have had my ATS-909X for 2 years, it has performed pefectly.jjriolo@aol.com

The radio has to be on but it has a power plug-in that allows it to operate without batteries. I purchased one of these for my 80+ yr old mother.

I am no expert since I had radio only a short time but as I recall there is a small slide switch on the right hand side of radio...you are correct in that it is difficult to locate on/off switch

I have never tried to use the radio in this manner. Better try it before relying on it some morning!

You can either operate it on battery power or buy one of the voltage reducing cords. I found one that I had in my junk box or go to Radio/Shack buy one, they should have one.

You are correct - the manual is useless. So neither do I know how to operate the radio. When using it on batteries it comes on by itself (runs down batteries needlessly). After losing power, either from run-down batteries or being unplugged from ac it loses all memory of station sets and time. Directions are not clear as to how to set time or preset stations. I'm ready to toss it.

You need to plug the remote wire in also or it won't work. Plug it into an unused fuse spot and put the fuse back in. Or put it in the stereo fuse so it turns on every time you turn music on that way you save battery. It's kind of a hassle but that's how you do it.

You could try holding the power button for 20 seconds and see what happens. Though I think the battery might be the problem, and since you can't remove it, you're going to have to contact the technical assistance.
