Features and Operation Explained — Front of Radio
S on the left side of the radio. Install “AA” or “D” size rechargeable batteries such as Nickel Metal Hydride into the “AA” or “D” slots according to the diagram etched in the battery compartment. Be very careful to orientate the batteries correctly as labeled.
Connect the radio to power using the supplied AC Adapter. While the radio is “off” and
the radio is connected to a power source, press the “CHARGE” 
button. The bat- tery icon will flash during the charge cycle 
.
CHARGING TIPS: 1) The charging circuit will not work while the radio is turned “on”. The charging cycle will resume when the radio is turned “off” and connected to power with the AC Adapter. 2) The charge cycle shuts “off” after 12 hours whether the batter- ies are fully charged or not. 12 hours is long enough to fully charge “AA” batteries. High capacity “D” size batteries (9000 MAh) require three or four charge cycles to become fully charged. The charge system is designed to stop charging if an attempt is made to charge an already fully charged battery. If you attempt to charge dead alkaline bat- teries, they will leak, they will ruin your radio, and it will void your warranty.
2)When the radio is “on”, pressing and releasing the 
“CHARGE” 
button selects stations stored to the memory presets. See “MEMORY SET” (page 11) to store stations to memory presets.
{SW BAND 
This button is best used to quickly step to the beginning of each of the commonly designated SW broadcast bands. Example: In the evening turn the “AM/SW BAND” knob r to “SW1”. Press the “SW BAND” button until it reads 9400 on the LCD display. Press and hold the < button to start scanning through this SW band. Different SW Bands work better at different times of the day, year and even solar cycle. (See “Common Shortwave Broadcast Bands” below.) This button can also be used to increment through the AM band by 100 kHz steps and the FM band by 1000 kHz steps.
