OPERATION

DC Operation

Take the lid of the battery case (8) off the battery case and insert 6 batteries size D
(Mono) 1.5 V. Be sure of the correct position of the battery poles to avoid damage of
the electronic installation! Never mix various brands of batteries! Never mix full and
empty batteries at the same time!

AC Operation 230 V

Insert the power plug (9) only after having checked that the voltage of the power
corresponds with the voltage of the receiver (in Europe mostly 220/230 V 50 Hz).
Remove the batteries if you intend to operate the receiver by external power over a
longer period of time!

Note: Weak or empty batteries may leak and thus damage the receiver: Always
remove the batteries in case the receiver will not be operated over a longer period of
time!

Power ON/OFF
Push the switch ON/OFF (4) in position ON .

Telescopic antenna

Completely extend the antenna to full length until you can hear the desired station
best. Reception can even be improved by either shortening the antenna or giving it a
different angle. Please note that this antenna is not operating on MW (AM Radio
range)

General information for tuning and reception

With the help of the two linked switches (2) and (3) you can choose the desired band
among CB, TV1-FM, AIR-PB-WB, SW, MW or TV2. With the help of the tuning
control (1) you search for the desired station and adjust the volume with the volume
control (4).

Medium Waves reception (AM 530 - 1620 kHz) MW

In this traditional broadcast frequency range a built-in magnetic ferrite antenna is
operating. On medium waves, the telescopic antenna has only low efficiency and is
not needed. Because ferrite antennas have directional effects, turn the radio until you
have the best reception of the desired station. Choose MW position with selector
knob(2) and adjust tuning control to desired station. The best antenna tuning position
depends on which station you wish to hear. On Medium Waves you will have a high
range of reception during evening and night hours.

Short Waves reception SW

Extend the telescopic antenna to full length to ensure best sensitivity. Turn the band
Selector (2) into position SW (SHORT WAVES) and tune (1) in the desired radio
station. On Short Waves you will be able to listen to long-distance services.
