G5 OWNER’S MANUAL

5 BASIC RADIO OPERATION continued

Volume can be adjusted with the G5 turned on or off. Volume can also be adjusted using the numeric keypad (9).

To adjust the volume with the numeric keypad:

1.Use the numeric keypad (9) to enter the desired volume level (0-31).

2.Within 3 seconds, press either the + or – VOL button.

USING THE DX/LOCAL SWITCH (46)

The DX/LOCAL switch is located on the left side of the G5 and is labeled DX/LO. Use DX as the default setting. This gives the G5 maximum sensitivity to signals. If strong stations seem distorted, then use the local setting (labeled LO). This switch does not function in FM mode.

SELECTING FM, AM and SHORTWAVE (SW)

Turn on the G5. To select AM press the AM BAND button (11), for FM press the ‘FM BAND’ button (12) and for shortwave sequentially press the ‘METERBAND’ button (10) until the shortwave band of your choice is selected. The last used frequency is automatically displayed. The most popular shortwave bands can also be accessed with the F1-F7 buttons (F1=49m, F2=41m, F3=31m, F4=25m, F5=22m, F6=19m and F7=16m).

See more specific information about the G5 and shortwave under the heading SHORTWAVE WITH THE E5.

SHORTWAVE NOTE: If you’re completely new to shortwave or need a ‘refresher’, see the special shortwave section toward the end of this manual.

The frequency digits (33) appear in the lower center portion of the display. AM and FM is for listening to local stations, while shortwave brings in stations from around the world.
