ICF-2001D/2010
COMPUTER/CLOCK BATTERIES
These batteries are used to operate the clock, displays, and
microcomputer which controls the receiver and retains the
memory. Be sure to keep the batteries installed even when the
receiver is operating on other power sources than the radio bat-
teries.
Battery installation
Insert two size AA batteries (IEC designation R6) with correct
polarity, following illustration [C] on page 4.
AS soon as the batteries are installed, 0:00 will appear on the clock
display and the clock begins to operate.
Battery life
About one year of operation can be expected when using Eveready
No. 1015 batteries. This assumes listening for four hours a day at
normal volume.
When
the
computer/clock
batteries
are
exhausted,
the
displays
may
become
faint.
Replacement of the batteries
Be sure to replace both computericlock batteries once 4 year to
avoid damage from leaking batteries.
Once
the
batteries
are
removed,
the
memorized
frequencies
and
timer
programs
are
erased
and
the
clock
setting
is
cancelled.
Be
sure
to
memorize
or
set
these
contents
again
after
replacing
the
computer/clock
batteries.
Note
When
the
air
is
especially
dry,
the
following
may
be
caused
by
Static electricity, but there is no cause for alarm:
®@ The indication in the clock/timer display and the frequency
display disappears.
@
Irregular
figures
appear
in
the
clock/timer
display
and
the
fre
quency
display.
@
The
indication
preset
at
the
factory—0:00
or
AM
150.0
kHz—ap-
pears
in
the
clock/timer
or
frequency
display.
@ Frequencies cannot be tuned in.
If any of these things happens, set the MAIN POWER switch to
OFF, and reset to ON. If the problem persists, remove and re-install
the computer/clock batteries.
RADIO POWER SOURCES
For receiver operation, the computer/clock batteries and one of the
following three radio power sources are necessary.
RADIO BATTERIES
Battery installation
Insert three IEC designation R20 batteries (size D) with correct
polarity, following illustration (D] on page 4.
@ The set cannot be operated on the internal batteries when the ac
power adaptor or car battery cord is connected to the set.
@ When the set is not to be used for a long period of time or is to be
operated extensively on other power sources, remove the batteries
to avoid damage caused by battery leakage and corrosion.
Battery life
You can expect Sony SUM-1(NS) New Super batteries to last for ap-
prox. 32 hours for AM/AIR reception and approx. 45 hours for FM
reception. This assumes listening for four hours a day at normal
volume.
To check the battery condition
1 Set the MAIN POWER switch and the POWER switch to ON.
2 Keeping the BATTERY CHECK key pressed, monitor the SIGNAL
STRENGTH/BATTERY indicator. If the LEDs do not light up to the
green zone, replace all batteries with new ones.

BATTERY
@When the batteries are exhausted, the sound becomes weak or
distorted.
HOUSE CURRENT (except the model available in Austratia)
Use the supplied ac power adaptor. The adaptor operates on either
110 (99-121) *, 120 (108 -132), 220 (198-242) or 240 V (216-264 V) ac,
50/60 Hz.
* Range of voltage allowable shown in parentheses.
1 Before connecting the adaptor to a wall outlet, be sure to check
whether the input selector is correctly set to your local power line
voltage. If necessary, turn the selector with a screwdriver so that
you Can see the proper voltage figure.

2 Connect the adaptor as in illustration [E] on page 4.
12 V CAR BATTERY
Connect the Sony DCC-127A car battery cord (optional) as in il-
lustration (F] on page 5.
®@ Before connecting, be sure to read the instruction manual for the
car battery cord.
@ Reception may be affected by ignition noise while the engine is in
operation.
Notes
@When the ac power adaptor or car battery cord is connected to
the DC IN 4.5V jack, the internal radio batteries (if present) are
automatically disconnected.
@\f acar battery cord or an ac power adaptor not manufactured by
Sony is used, a fuse must be installed in the battery cord or the ac
power adaptor and the polarity of the plug must be as illustrated.
