Connecting the power cord

1.Untie and straighten the bundled power cord completely to ensure the best FM recep- tion. The FM antenna is built into the power cord.

2.Plug the small end of the power cord into the power jack on the back of your radio (Figure 3). The connector is shaped to fit in only one direction. Line up the flat edge of the plug with the flat edge on the side of the jack.

3.Plug the other end of the power cord into an electric outlet. The display panel lights and the time display begins flashing.

4.Press the Clock Set button once to stop the flashing. See “Setting the time” on page 17 to set the clock.

Adjusting the antennas

With the FM antenna built into the power cord, adjusting the cord position affects FM radio reception slightly. With the AM antenna built into the radio, turning the radio more to one side or the other adjusts AM reception slightly.

Receiving cable radio signals as an option

To connect your radio to the FM signal available from some cable TV companies, contact your cable provider for assistance.

The cable screws onto threads of the FM 75Ω EXTERNAL antenna connector on the back of the Wave radio (Figure 3). To make this connection easier, you may want to obtain a screw-on to push-on RF adapter (available at electronic stores).

CAUTION: Make sure the installation includes a signal splitter. It is important that only the FM band, not the cable TV band, is transmitted to the radio. It is necessary to use a splitter that filters the signal to prevent any re-emissions of the TV spectrum through the radio.
