3.DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

When the desired frequency is known, it can be entered via the numeric keypad (14) and the ‘Enter’ button (13). First, make sure that the correct band is selected - AM, FM or SW.

Most AM and Shortwave frequencies are designated in kilohertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz. All FM frequencies are designated in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz. To enter such frequencies:

1.Press/release the ‘Enter’ (13) button.

2.Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.

Sometimes Shortwave frequencies are designated in megahertz (MHz). If you encounter such a shortwave frequency and it has less than three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15.10 MHz or 6.92 MHz), then use the following method to enter it. However, if there are three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15110 MHz or 5.975 MHz), use the method described previously.

1.Press/release the ‘Enter’ (13) button.

2.Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.

3.Press/release the ‘Enter’ button again.

4.FINE TUNING

The FINE TUNING control (4) is located on the right side of the radio. It tunes in 1 Kilohertz steps in AM and Shortwave and .05 Megahertz steps in FM. Use it to ‘fine-tune’ stations to your liking, or use it as you would a tuning knob.
