Use the volume knob, on the right side, to adjust the volume.

LISTENING TO FM, AM, LW (Longwave) or SW

Select the FM, AM, LW or SW band by pressing the FM, AM/LW, or \/ SW /\ buttons . AM is shown as MW (medium wave). Use the TUNING knob to tune the radio to the desired frequency, or press \/ /\ buttons to search for the next available station. Each station will play for 5s before searching for the next available station. Press any key to stay on your favor station.

If you are using an earphone to listen to FM-stereo, the FM-stereo symbol will appear under FM on the left side of the display. This only appears when earphones are plugged in.

NOTE: Longwave is not used for broadcasting in the United States and Canada. It is used in the United Kingdom and in Europe. If you hear stations in the Longwave band, they may be ‘images’ of AM stations.

LISTENING TO SHORTWAVE

Each short press of the \/ SW /\ buttons takes the radio into a different shortwave meter band (frequency range).. The band number appears briefly in the upper right corner of the display. After you’re in a band, use the TUNING knob to tune, or press and hold the \/ SW /\ buttons for 2 seconds to tune or to engage the 5 second scan. To stop the 5 second scan, press on any buttons again or slightly rotate the tuning knob. Notice that when you use the \/ SW /\ buttons to scan, the radio scans in 5 KHz steps. This is OK, because shortwave broadcast stations are exactly 5 KHz apart. The tuning knob tunes in 1 KHz steps. While using these buttons the band number appears in the display.

Shortwave allows listening to stations from around the world. During the day, listen above 13 MHz. At night, listen below 13 MHz. To learn more use the Internet or the two books below:
