IMPORTANT NOTES FOR USERS IN
THE UNITED KINGDOM
Mains Plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
T o change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T .A.
or BSI approved type.
• Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If
the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5
Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp
socket elsewhere.

IMPORT ANT NOTICE
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following
code: blue=neutral (N), brown=live (L). As these colours may
not correspond with the colour markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N
or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L
or coloured red.
• DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal in
the plug, marked E (or ?) or coloured green
(or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord
grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead – not simply over
the two wires.

INTRODUCTION
SHORT-WAVE (SW)
Y our world receiver can receive an number of wavebands.
Most of these are known and tuning to the required station will
soon become a matter of routine, as the stations are always to
be found at the same place on the dial and are thus tied to a
fixed wavelength and frequency . With short-wave this is
unfortunately not always the case. Short-wave transmitters
have to change their wavelength fairly often. In the short-wave
range between 10 and 100 meter wavelength (frequencies of
30-3 MHz resp.) nine bands between 10 and 50 meters are
allocated to short-wave broadcasting, with another four bands
between 60 and 120 meters for broadcasting in the Earth’ s
tropical areas. The latter are roughly located between the
latitudes of 30° north and 30° south, ie, around the equator .
Most short-wave broadcasting bands, indicated in the shortwave table, are allocated for the whole world and can be used
for international broadcasting. They are so far the only wavelengths which allow direct reception over long distances. So in
addition to the broadcasting services, there is a large number
of other users of short-wave for example radio amateurs,
shipping and aviation, radio navigation, etc.
TIME ZONES
The Earth rotates around its axis in 24 hours and around the
sun in one year. These movements are responsible for the time
differences and the seasons on the Earth. Due to the direction
of the rotation of the Earth it is always earlier in the day to the
west of where you are and later in the day to the east of where
you are.
The Earth is divided into 24 time zones with a difference of
one hour between adjacent zones. The system is based on one
standard time zone, namely UTC (Coordinated Universal
Time), previously GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Generally
speaking, short-wave stations announce their broadcasts in
UTC.
USE OF THE STAND
Fold out the stand on the rear of the set. Y ou may now use the
set in an inclined position.

POWER SUPPL Y FEA TURES
BATTERIES
- Open the battery compartment and insert 3 AA type
alkaline batteries.
- Remove the batteries when they are exhausted or if they are
not going to be used for a long period of time.
NOTE: If the 4.5 D VC socket is in use, the battery supply
will switch off automatically.
Warning for weak batteries
When the batteries run low , the sound volume declines gradually . Continued operation with low batteries causes the radio
to turn off automatically , other malfunctioning and losing
programmed time settings and preset radio stations. In this
case, remove the batteries and place a paper clip into the
RESET hole.
Readjust the timer settings and the preset radio stations. T o
prevent that the radio is turned on accidentally , use the LOCK
switch when packing the radio or putting it away .

POWER SUPPL Y FEA TURES
9 / 10 kHz SELECTOR
AC MAINS ADAPTOR (NOT INCLUDED)
Y ou can connect the set to the mains using a mains adaptor .
Only use a mains adaptor which supplies 4.5 V DC with the
negative pole at the center pin of the plug.
Before connecting the mains adaptor
- Check that the mains voltage indicated on the type plate of
the adaptor matches your local mains voltage.
- If the mains adaptor is equipped with a voltage selector, set
this to the local voltage.
- Connect the mains adaptor to the 4.5 V DC socket of the
set and to the wall socket.
POWER FAILURE
- If the power supply is interrupted, the programmed time
settings and preset radio stations will be kept in the memory
for 10 minutes or more.
- If the AC power is disconnected from the 4.5 V DC socket,
the batteries (if present) will take over the power supply .
The minimum ‘frequency distance’ (span division) between
adjacent radio stations (measured in kHz) is standardized all
over the world. However, North and South America use
another standard than the rest of the world. This means that
the radio should use a tuning step according to the standard
concerned in order to obtain accurate radio tuning.
The 9 / 10 kHz switch (in the battery compartment) allows
accurate tuning for both standards.
Position 10 kHz for the Americas
- MW tuning step 10 kHz
Position 9 kHz for the rest
of the world
- MW tuning step 9 kHz

SW TUNING MODE
ANTENNA
SW METER BAND / CONTINUOUS
Y our TRAV IID has a built-in Short-Wave Frequency T uning
Mode select switch inside the battery compartment.
- Select A if you only want to get reception for the stations
with the frequency within the meter-bands.
- Select B in case you wish to obtain the frequencies in
between the gaps of the meter-bands.
FM
• For FM reception extend the telescopic antenna fully . T o
improve the reception you can incline and rotate the
antenna. If the FM signal received is too strong (in the
direct vicinity of the transmitter) you can retract the antenna.
MW
• For the medium wave (MW) the set has a built in antenna,
so the telescopic antenna is not needed. Y ou can direct the
antenna by turning the set itself.
SW
• For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic
antenna and position it vertically .

TUNING TO A ST A TION
PRESET RADIO ST A TIONS
There are two possibilities for tuning into a station:
- Automatically - the stations are sought automatically .
- Manually - this is easy if the frequency of the station is
already known (eg. from your radio or television guide).
AUTOMATIC TUNING
• Keep + or - (TUNING UP or DOWN) pressed down
until the frequency on the display changes continuously .
Tuning will stop automatically as soon as a station is found.
• Repeat this until you have found the desired station.
AUTOMATIC TUNING
• Keep + or - (TUNING UP or DOWN) pressed down
until you come close to the desired frequency .
• Then briefly press the other TUNING button; the tuning
will stop.
• Then press + or - (TUNING UP or DOWN) repeatedly
until you reach the desired frequency .
Y ou can program 20 stations into the memory , 5 on each
wave-band.
Programming
• Press POWER button to switch on the radio.
• Tune to a rdaio station Automatically or Manually .
• Press the MEMO button. The ‘MEMO’ sign starts flashing
on the display .
• Press the PRESET button to store the selected station.
• Press the MEMO button again to complete the storing
procedure.
