## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know why it keeps shutting off? Battiers good.**
A: Mine has since Oct 24 when I received it.   I bought a new packet of batteries even to insure having fully charged batteries.  
This is very frustrating.  It is a nice radio when it works.   Sometimes it will stay on for 5 minutes and other times 20 seconds.
I have run it on USB port successfully for about 15 minutes and then it will shut off.    I wish I could get my money back. I like the design and features and hung in there till now, but am getting ready to just set it aside and by an analog SONY that I know will work.

**Q: How long do the batteries last before needing to be replaced?**
A: Depends on how long you play the radio. I haven't replaced my batteries since I bought the radio in April 2018.

**Q: Do you need a shortwave antenna and can it be installed on this radio??**
A: Dear customer,
Thanks for your questions.
For this Retekess V117 AM FM SW radio, it doesn’t need a shortwave antenna and I’m sorry to tell you that it can’t be connected to an external antenna.
