The light illuminates the display and buttons. Turn it on and off by pressing the LIGHT button. When using batteries the light stays on for about 6 seconds; when using an AC adapter it stays on indefinitely or until turned off.

EXTERNAL ANTENNA SOCKET

The external antenna socket is used to connect the G3 to advanced performance shortwave antennas using a 50 or 75-Ohm coaxial cable feed-line.

FM STEREO/MONO SELECTION

When listening to FM stations, stereo/mono is selected automatically depending on the quality of the audio from the station.

LINE-IN/OUT SOCKET

This socket provides an industry standard, fixed level audio input/output source for safely routing the G3’s audio to the line-in socket of a stereo system or recording device, or playing an audio device, such as MP3, through the G3.

To route a line-in source into the G3, turn it off, attach a double 1/8 inch (3.5mm) stereo cord to the G3’s LINE –IN/OUT socket and to the output of the other system. Press the G3’s LINE-IN button, labeled

Plug them into the earphone socket on the left side of the radio. Turn the volume down before wearing the earphones, then turn up the volume to your liking.

REAR FOLDING STAND

Pull the folding stand from the rear of the G3, allowing viewing at a comfortable angle.

RESET BUTTON

The reset button is located inside the small hole labeled RESET on the right front of the radio. If the G3 operates erratically, poke a paper clip into the reset hole to reset its microprocessor. This does not erase memory, but does reset the clock to 12:00.
