Sony ICF-M350V 4 Band Portable Radio TV Weather Am/fm

It is difficult for Sony or any other manufacturer to quote the life expectancy for a product. Certain variables, such as the amount of use (or lack thereof) a product receives and the environmental conditions in which a product is being used, play a part in the life expectancy of a product.

Sony® product warranty information, including what is covered by the warranty, is part of the documentation inside the box for each Sony product. The warranty may be on a separate card or as part of the Primary User Manual (usually the User's Guide or Operating Instructions).

Electronic copies of the warranty card, primary user manual, and other documentation are available online. Manuals are posted on your model support page.

IMPORTANT: Electronic copies of warranty information may not be available for all models.

In August of 2005 the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act, which changed the dates of both the start and end of daylight-savings time (DST). Once this law went into effect in 2007, DST now begins at 2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March and ends at 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November.

Since most electronic devices are already programmed with the DST feature set, there is no way for any electronic product with a time/clock function that was produced prior to 2007 to know about the new DST time changes. This means that such devices, especially portable devices like IC recorders, cameras and camcorders, will need to be manually adjusted to reflect the new DST start and end times. It is recommended that if your product was produced prior to 2007 and has a DST setting, that you turn that feature off, otherwise the device will continue to change using the old DST settings.
Some electronic products (TVs, VCRs and DVRs to name a few) have auto clock-set options. If the auto clock-set option is enabled, then the time is updated automatically with the signal provided by the broadcaster or service provider. If your device does not have an auto clock-set option, you will need to manually adjust for the start and end of DST.
