Tuning a Station:

Antennas:

The telescopic antenna 10 is for FM/TV/AIR/WB/SW stations. A wire antenna is included which can be plugged into the earphone jack to improve shortwave reception. The AM band uses an internal ferrite bar antenna. Rotate or reposition the radio for best reception on the AM (MW medium wave) band.

Four- Way Power Source

1.Battery Power: Insert 3 x "AA" batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure you have the correct polarity. Put the power switch to BATT/DC.

2.Solar: The built-in solar panel can be used to directly power the radio even if the batteries are dead! The solar panel must face direct sunlight to get enough energy to operate the radio's speaker. If you cannot position the radio in direct sunlight try using the earphones. Earphones require less energy to operate than the speaker does. When switching to solar power always start with the volume control at the minimum position. The higher you turn the volume the more light you will need. Even when the main power is switched off, the solar panel will still charge the built-in rechargeable batteries as long as the solar panel is exposed to bright light.
