GE 7-2867 manual FM Band, BASS/TREBLE Controls, Power ON-OFF Switch, BUILT-IN AM/FM Antennas

wIDE BAND

TfliS “AM ACCENT” switch allows:

s Maximum selectivity of adjacent stations in the NORMAL position.

. Improved audio fidelity of strong local stations when in the WIDE positon,

NOTE: In the WIDE position, you may encounter beat and whistle noises due to adjacent-channel stations in the AM band. This problem maybe par- ticularly noticeable during nighttime reception. If this occurs, switch to NORMAL positon.

FM BAND

FM Band radio stations broadcast on assigned frequencies between 88 and 108 Megahertz (MHz), FM broadcasts are higher frequencies and offer less static and interference from outside sources as well as greater audio fidelity than AM broadcasts. Range, however, is not as great as AM because very little, if any, sky-wave reception is involved at FM frequency range.

AFC (Automatic Frequency Control)

Automatic Frequency Conrol (AFC) works to assure drift-free FM reception and helps to keep the radio locked-in on the station to which it is tuned. AFC works only on FM, it does not affect the AM operation. Tune to the desired FM station with the AFC SELECT switch in ON position.

Under certain conditions, you may not wish to use the AFC. When the desired station frequency is adjacent to a stronger station, the Automatic Frequency Con- trol may tune the set to the stronger station. If this occurs, tune in the desired station with the AFC switch in OFF position. Should switching to ON cause the set to detune to the stronger adjacent station, simply leave the AFC SELECT switch in OFF position.

BASS/TREBLE CONTROLS

The BASS control enable you to increase or decrease the relative volume of the low-pitched (bass) sounds from the normal (or “flat”) control setting.

The TREBLE control enables you to increase or decrease the relative volume of the high pitched (Treble) sounds from the normal (or “flat”) control setting.

NOTE: These Tone Controls have a large built-in variation range which will enable you to emphasize the various tonal sounds and alter the music you are receiving. You may be able to vary the musical balance of the music un-

til [t IS almost unrecognizable. The lone Gontrols were deslgneo With mesa extreme range variations to enable you to adjust for your particular listen- ing preference and the program being received.

POWER ON-OFF SWITCH

The convenient Power ON-OFF push button switch enables you to set the VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls, then turn the radio on or off without having to reset the controls each time.

BUILT-IN AM/FM ANTENNAS

AM — The BUILT-IN ANTENNA (200 mm Ferrite Rod) is somewhat directional, and on weak stations it may be necessaty to rotate the radio for beat reception. The FM WHIP antenna is not used for AM reception.

FM — The WHIP ANTENNA maybe positioned anywhere within an 180 degree arc and is capable of rotating 380 degrees. To use, lift and extend the WHIP to its fullest length. For distant stations, it may be necessary to adjust the WHIP antenna’s position for beat reception.

NOTE: To avoid damaging the WHIR always lower its sections one at a time star- ting with the largest diameter. Never lower the WHIP from the tip end since buckling or bending is possible. Be sure the slot provided in the base of the swivel antenna is positioned properly before lowering the WHIP into its holder clip.

WHIP ANTENNA REPLACEMENT

The whip antenna has been designed so that it is easily replaced in the event it is damaged. The antenna’s mounting post goes through a hole in the cabinet top and is held in place by a single screw through the catinef back. Simply remove the screw and slide the post out of the cabinet top. To install the replacement, reverse the procedure.

To order a replacement whip antenna (No. 5-1992) use Accessory Order Form included in this Guide.
