I got a shock touching the radio and the time went out. Radio works fine but just dotted lines for the time and I can't reset it. Any suggestions?

I's surprised that you got a shock from a 9-volt system. Could the shock have been a static discharge? In any event, remove batteries & unplug from wall. Wait a minute, then plug in the cord and then follow Owner Manual directions for a new setup. If this doesn't work, then you've probably blown a chip and need to return the unit for a warranty repair.

I called Midland Radio with same problem. I had two new batteries (bought a pair of radios) seven days later at no cost. Their customer service was first-rate.

I had that problem, too. I was told to take battery out for an hour or more, and then put it back in. It still didn't work. I returned the scale.

I have several suggestions; please check the date on the device. Note that the replacement time is about 10 years. One other problem we had was insects, specifically ants, nesting in the rafters, down in the alarm base. Vacuumed them out, everything worked fine. Reinsert battery, checking for firm settling. Best of luck.

something is wrong with the radio or your antenna is not properly plugged in

Whomever you had install it did so incorrectly. There is a wire that has power all the time, this power keeps your clocks and other things in the vehicle powered including the radio. If it is hooked up to a wire that only has power when the key is on you will loose programming everytime it is turned off. You need to take it back to your installer and have it fixed, pretty easy fix.

Mine did the same thing. I sent it back to be exchanged. I thought that the radio was defective.

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.

I had similar problems with La Crosse weather stations; I discovered that even though the receiver / clock seems to be working still, it required replacing *both* sets of batteries at the same time to get the receiver to receive the sensor signal again. Try that and see if it fixes your problem.

Man, no idea. Did you get a power surge or something like that recently? I keep mine (and all electronics like this) on a suppressor protected circuit. Not much help for you now, though. You have my sympathies.

Your radio needs to be tuned to a station that carries the imbedded data. I lost power one time and the radio lost time and date. The radio updated over night. Provided you are tuned to the correct station it should return.

I had that happen and found the antena had come loose on back of radio. Had to spread out the tabs on the plug to make it hold tighter. Normal vibration caused it.

First off, this is a 12v unit and won't tolerate much more than that. If the supply source is a good 12volt, then I would say off hand, that something is shorting out. That power supply really supplies more current that the radio would normally use. I've used mine for over 4 years now with no problems, Look around and see if you could have a bare wire going to ground, one that is not solidly mounted and able to move around a little. If yours is like mine there is no way to get into it to see what is actually going bad, so good luck.

This happened to me also. Just press the timer/clock button on the lower left and it should reset properly.

Have same radio, never failed. Sounds like an internal wiring glitch...can only be port or the mode switch....either way it's probably unfixable...too bad. You can get a Sharkk speaker for less than $20.00 on net...surprising sound.
