4BASIC RADIO OPERATION

TURNING ON AND OFF

The YB 550PE can be turned on by the two methods shown

below. To turn it off, press the ON/OFF-TIMER button (2).

1. BATTERY SAVER / SLEEP TIMER METHOD:

Perform a quick, short press of the ON/OFF-TIMER button

(2). This causes the radio to shut off automatically after 90

minutes. Note that (32) appears in the display. To change the time from 90 minutes to a time of your prefer- ence, use the + and – buttons (7, 8) immediately after press-

ing the button, allowing selection of 1 – 120 minutes of play time. The number of minutes that you last set are also used the next time the radio is turned on.

2. TIMER-DEFEAT METHOD:

This method defeats the automatic 90 minute timer and causes the radio to stay on until deliberately turned off. Hold the button down for about 2 seconds, then release. Note that ‘YB550’ appears in the display for about 5 seconds, then the radio turns on.

VOLUME AND TONE CONTROLS

The volume control (14), labeled VOLUME, is located on the left side of the radio. The tone control (17), on the right side of the radio is labeled NEWS/MUSIC. Use the position that you like best.

SELECTING FM, AM OR SHORTWAVE

Pressing the button labeled ‘FM/AM/SW Band’ (9), allows selec- tion of FM,AM and SW (35). The frequency digits (34) appear in the lower portion of the display. The local stations of your area will be heard on AM and FM. International Shortwave stations from around the world will be heard on SW.

NOTE: When the AM band is selected, the display shows MW, not AM.
