TUNING IN MW STATIONS (AM);
CHANGING THE TUNING STEPS
MW, or medium wave stations, known as AM stations in North America, range from 520 to 1710 KHz in North America and from 522 to 1620 KHz in other parts of the world. In North America they tune in 10 KHz steps and in other parts of the world they may tune in 9 KHz steps. The radio is set up for 10 KHz tuning by default, but to change the steps to 9 KHz, go into the battery compartment and move the switch from 10 KHz to 9 KHz and then press the reset button (in the front lower right of the radio) with a paper clip. The switch is located on the middle of the ridge between the upper set and lower set of batteries.

2.Place the top BANDWIDTH switch into the W or N position (wide or narrow). Place bottom BANDWIDTH switch into the MW position.

4.Tune in the station with the TUNING knob or by pressing the UP/ DOWN button or by pressing and holding the UP/DOWN button for one second to engage auto tuning.
