Stereo Comes On By Itself

Recommended Posts

 

  Our camper has been parked in the driveway for the past two weeks and we go in, seems like several times per day, for one reason or another. Twice now the radio has been playing when we stepped in and we're certain we didn't leave it on, we never even turn it on when parked in the driveway. I looked through the manual for some features that might be responsible but found nothing. Is there some feature/option that could be turning this thing on?

Try this, you may not be turning it off, just to Standby. Push and HOLD the power button. Once off it should stay off until you press it again. This is the same as my six year old model, it took me five years 😳 to figure out how to kill the night mode display and its associated parasitic draw.

Could it be the alarm?

I only ask, as my phone defaults to same day, every week, if I don't check. Awakened at 3 am twice this summer, by my phone.

I didn't see an alarm feature in the manual, does your have that ability?

I don't really remember,  as we use the radio so little.  And, our early trailer (2008) has a,switch by the door, which us usually set to off.

Just a suggestion to check out, as most radios with a clock have that feature , and it can sometimes be set accidentally.  

Back in my college days, my roommate and I intentionally set the radio alarm to a polka station, to be annoying enough to make sure we got out of bed, on time. 🤣

Ok, further reading in the manual confirms that pressing and holding the power button actually turns the unit off.  Simply pressing the power button puts it in "Standby" mode. Also, there is an "Alarm" function which is also described in the manual. I somehow missed all that when looking through the manual yesterday. This stereo has a hell of a lot of functionality. Thank you all for helping.
