CONNECTING THE WIRE ANTENNA

Besides the DIRECTION FINDER anten- na and the built-in telescoping antenna, the radio comes with a separate wire an- tenna (about 10 feet long) for reception when you listen to the shortwave bands (SW or SW2). To connect the antenna, simply insert the antenna’s plug into ANT on the front of the radio.

For the best reception when using the wire antenna, fully extend the antenna and run it outside through a window (if possible).

Note: If you lose or damage the sup- plied wire antenna, you can replace it with a shortwave antenna kit available at your local RadioShack store.

ATTACHING THE CARRY STRAP

The radio comes with a carry strap that you can easily attach and use to carry the radio with you almost anywhere you go. Follow these steps to attach each end of the supplied strap to the hanger bars on the radio.

1.Insert one end of the strap into the hanger bar on one side of the radio.

2.Loop the strap end around the bar and pull up on the strap.

3.Insert the strap end into the lower part of the buckle.

4.Pull the strap end through the top of the buckle far enough to stop the strap from slipping.

To shorten the strap for hand carry- ing, slide the two buckles together.

To lengthen the strap for shoulder carrying, slide the two buckles apart.
