Follow these steps to turn the radio on/ off, select a radio band and station/fre- quency, and adjust the sound.

1.Turn VOLUME toward MIN until it stops.

2.Set RADIO/P.A. to RADIO. (To use the P.A. setting, see “Using the P.A. (Public Address) Function” on Page 11.

Note: The radio uses the attached directional antenna (DIRECTION FINDER) for AM band reception. The position of the radio’s telescoping antenna does not affect AM band reception.

5.For reduced sound distortion and drift-free FM reception, set AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) to

ON.

3.Turn the band selector to the band(s) you want to listen to.

4.If you selected any band other than AM, SW1 or SW2, fully extend the telescoping antenna on top of the radio.

If you selected SW1 or SW2, connect the supplied wire antenna to ANT on the front of the radio. (See “Con- necting the Wire Antenna” on Page 7.)

6.Set POWER to ON to turn on the radio.

7.Adjust VOLUME toward MAX to increase the volume, or toward MIN to decrease it.

8.Adjust TONE to get the sound you like.
