5SETTING THE PRELIMINARY CONTROL SETTINGS

6TURNING THE RADIO ON AND OFF

Use these controls as initial guidelines. As you get to know the radio, you will develop your own ‘favorite’ settings.

•Turn the VOLUME control down to no

greater than 3 so that the radio does not play loudly when first turned on.

•Turn the AM/SW RF GAIN control to the 10 position.

•Turn the BASS-TONE-TREBLE controls into the 5 position.

•Turn the SW LPF switch to the OFF position (right side of the radio).

•Turn the STEREO MONO switch to the MONO position.

There are two ways to turn the radio on, with the 90-minute timer feature or without the 90-minute timer.To turn it off at any time, press the ‘POWER & SLEEP’ button for about one second.

NOTE: When SLEEP Times is off, the clock always shows in the display.

1.WITH TIMER: A quick, short press of the ‘POWER & SLEEP’ button turns the radio on. ‘90’ shows in the display for about three sec- onds, then the radio’s normal frequency dis- play shows. Turning it on this way causes it play for 90 minutes, after which its timer turns

it off automatically (to minimize excess bat- tery drain). To change this automatic turn-off time from 90 minutes to a shorter time, see the section titled USING THE SLEEP TIMER.

2.WITHOUT TIMER: A long press of approxi- mately 3 seconds of the ‘POWER & SLEEP’ button turns the radio on without engaging the automatic 90-minute timer feature, caus- ing the radio to play indefinitely when using the AC adaptor, and turning off only when the batteries drain or the radio is turned off.

7 SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR

When you are listening to stations, the signal strength meter, in the upper right area of the dis- play, will show the strength level of reception.
