Built-In AFC

The Built In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works only on FM. It helps reducing drift on FM reception and keeping the radio locked in on the FM station to which it is tuned.

When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that the station you are tuning can be well-tuned on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune carefully at the loudest and clearest point.

AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for an out- side antenna for AM reception. Rotating the unit slightly may improve the recep- tion of distant AM stations.

FM antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna. It picks up moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is stretched to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together. Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.

Tip:

You may try to move the power cord in order to im- prove the reception.
