CHOOSING A POWER SUPPLY

You can operate the receiver using:

Six Alkaline AA Batteries.

Household AC [With optional AC adaptor]

12 Volt DC Automobile Battery [With

optional DC adaptor]

USING BATTERIES

1. Press latch marked OPEN on both

battery ompartment covers in he

direction of the arrow and lift off cover.

2. Insert 4 AA batteries in the Radio

compartment and 2 AA batteries in

the Back-up compartment. Be sure

to position them as illustrated on the

back of the radio, and on top of the lift-out

ribbons for easy removal.

3. Replace both battery compartment

covers over their respective compartments

and press down until you hear it snap closed

NOTE

Whenever the radio is turned off, the battery

indiator will flash for about five seconds to

show battery condition.

If the indicator falls below #2, the 4 "MAIN

AA" batteries should be replaced.

When the "MAIN" batteries become ex-

hausted, the micro-processor will automa-

tically be powered bythe "BACK-UP"

batteries.

When the display on the micro-processor

begins to fade, replace the 2 "AA" batteries

in the "BACK -UP" circuit. Before you

replace these batteries, be sure to install the

4 "AA" batteries in the "MAIN" circuit to

prevent total memory loss.

USING HOUSE CURRENT [AC]

The receive may be power by AC

current using the AC adaptor (not included).

Insert the small barrel shaped plug into the

jack on the side of the radio marked DC

IN 6V .Plug the other end of the adaptor

into a standard household outlet. Whenever

AC is used, the batteries are automatically

disconnected.

MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS

In addition to standard tuning methods

described previously, use the following

controls for special operations.

This switch adjusts the receiver's sensitivity.

When you listen to a strong station and the

signal is slightly distorted, set the switch to

the LOCAL position for best reception. For

normal or weak stations, set the switch to

the DX position for maximum sensitivity.

To reduce interference from adjacent

stations, set this switch to the NARROW

position and the interference will be

suppressed. For maximum selectivity, leave

the switch in the WIDE position.

AM SENSITIVITY: DISTANCE/

LOCAL SELECTTIVITY SWITCH

AM: NARROW/WIDE

SELECTIVITY SWITCH

While not a control, you may consider using

HEADPHONES to obtain the best audio

clarity when listening to SW. Since many

SW stations broadcast only marginal

signals, using HEADPHONES will enable

you to distinguish between the signal and

the noise usually encountered at night. Be

sure that the HEADPHONES terminate in

a 1/8 inch plug, which is inserted into the

HEADPHONE jack located on the left side

of the radio, marked with the symbol .

When the HEADPHONES are plugged in,

the speaker is muted.

Because the radio is capable of receiving

FM multiplex stereo, the HEADPHONES

should be stereo capable so that your

listening enjoyment will be enhanced. When

listening to stereo FM, be sure that the

FM: STEREO/MONO switch is set to the

STEREO position. This switch is located on

the lift-hand side of the radio, just above

the HEADPHONE jack.

Using the LOCK switch prevents

unauthorized operation of the radio and will

also prevent the station you are listening to

from being changed. When the LOCK

switch is moved to its up position,

the POWER button ant TUNING controls

are completely disabled. If the radio is on

when the LOCK switch is moved to its up

position, you will not be able to turn it

off. If the radio is off, with the LOCK

switch in its up position, you will

not be able to turn it on. This will also

prevent it from being turned on by

accident, when packed in a suitcase

or attache case. To release the LOCK

switch, simply move the switch down.

To obtain optimum performance from this unit,

especially when listening to SW an external

antenna should be used to the EXTERNAL AN-

TENNA ADAPTER and then plugged into

the EXTERNAL ANTENNA jack located on

the left side of the radio.

Located on the right side of the unit, just

beneath the ROTARY TUNING knob is a

switch marked, MW STEP: 9K/10K. This

switch selects the incremental frequency

STEPS for the MW band, depending upon

your geographic location. In the USA, 10K

STEPS are used, so the switch should be

set to its lowest position. In other parts of

the world where they use 9K STEPS, move

the switch to the uppermost position.
