HOW TO USE THE STEP BUTTON
In AM (MW), SW, and LW (see below), the STEP button provides selection of the best tuning steps, in kilohertz. This button is not functional in FM. The tuning step rate is indicated in the lower right of the display, e.g. “STEP 5”. Use these guidelines:
AM (MW): 10 KHz in the Americas; 9 KHz outside of the Americas
LW (longwave): 9 KHz for broadcast stations. Note: You will probably not hear any stations in the Americas, as LW is not used for broadcast stations. It is used in Europe and other parts of the world for broadcasts to those areas.
SSB: 1KHz
HOW TO USE THE LOCK BUTTON
When lock is on, the word LOCK appears in the upper right area of the display. Using this feature has no effect on alarm functions.
When the radio is on: Pressing the LOCK button locks all keys except the ON/OFF button and the SNOOZE button.
When the radio is off: Pressing the LOCK button locks all keys. This will keep the radio from accidentally turning on when packed in a briefcase, etc. When you want to listen to your radio, press LOCK and then the ON/OFF switch.
HOW TO USE THE AM BUTTON’S LAST STATION MEMORY FEATURE
Pressing the AM button over and over steps through the last station tuned in MW, SW and LW.
HOW TO USE THE VOLUME CONTROL KNOB
Use this to control the loudness of the radio.
HOW AND WHEN TO USE THE RESET FEATURE
If the radio operates erratically, gently poke an opened paper clip into the RESET hole on the front of the radio. Normal operation may be restored. Note that this procedure erases all memories and resets the clock
