Using the Sensitivity Switch
If you are listening to a strong FM, AM, or SW station, and the sound is distort- ed, set the sensitivity switch to LOCAL. This decreases the receiver’s sensitivity which reduces distortion from strong sig- nals and prevents reception of weak and noisy signals which are more common.
If you are listening to a weak station, set the sensitivity switch to DX (distant). This increases the receiver’s sensitivity and improves the station’s reception.
Using the Antenna
Use the following guidelines to adjust your receiver’s antenna.
Band Antenna Adjustments

Note: For better AM and SW reception, you can connect an external antenna to the telescoping antenna.
STORING STATION
FREQUENCIES
For easy selection, you can store up to 30 of your favorite stations’ frequencies in memory (10 frequencies in each band; FM, MW, and SW). Once you
store a station’s frequency using a mem- ory button, you can press this button to select the stored station.
Caution: If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 30 seconds, all in- formation stored in memory will be lost. However, if you disconnect the AC or DC adapter plug from the receiver’s DC 3V jack and have batteries installed, the memory stays intact.
Follow these steps to store a frequency in memory.
1.Press POWER to turn on the receiver.
2.Press BAND until the desired band (FM, MW, or SW) appears on the display.
3.Press < or > or the number keys (0 – 9) to tune to the desired station.
4.Adjust your receiver’s antenna for the best reception.
Note: Use manual, search, or direct access tuning to tune to the station’s frequency you want to store.
5.Press MEMORY/STORE/AM/PM.
MEMORY flashes.
6.While MEMORY flashes, press a number button to select the memory location.
Note: If you do not press a number within about 10 seconds, MEMORY stops flashing and you must repeat Step 5.
