  If the sound from your Jensen Clock Radio appears distorted at a high volume setting, it's likely that the volume control is set too high. Adjust the volume control to a lower, more comfortable level.

  If you're not getting any sound on AM or FM from your Jensen Clock Radio, here are a few things to check: - Make sure the unit is in “RADIO” function mode by pressing the On/Off Button until the radio is on. - Ensure the volume is not set to the minimum; increase the volume. - Check if an external non-playing digital audio player is connected to the Aux In jack, and if so, unplug the Aux In cord. The cause may be that the unit is not in the correct mode, the volume is too low, or an external device is interfering.
