CARE AND SAFETY
________________________________________________
ENGLISH
This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly
prohibited.
Prolonged use of the earphones can damage your hearing.
Make sure the device is protected from dripping or splashing water. Do not place any
vessels such as vases on the device. These may be knocked over and spill fluid on the electrical components, thus presenting a safety risk. Do not place any naked flames such as
candles on the device.
When deciding where to place the device, please note that furniture surfaces are covered
by various types of varnish and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These
additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit and leave stains on the surface of the
furniture which could be difficult or impossible to remove.
Do not use any cleaning agents as they may damage the housing. Clean the device with a
clean, damp leather cloth.
Never open the device casing. No warranty claims are accepted for damage caused by
incorrect handling.
The type plate is located on the back of the device.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metals, may not be disposed of with
household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner.

Setting the time
The earth spins round on its axis once every 24 hours, and around the sun once a year.
This movement determines global time differences and seasons. Because of the earth’s rotation, it is always earlier in the day to the west of you and later in the day to the east of you.
The earth is divided into 24 hourly time zones. This system is based on a standard time
zone called UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), previously known as GMT (Greenwich
Mean Time). Short-wave radio stations always announce the time in UTC.
To find out which time-zone you are in, have a look at the map of the world on the back of
the device.
Setting your own local time (Home)
When you first switch on the device, or if it has been without a power supply for a lengthy
period, »0: 00« appears in the display to indicate that the clock has to be set.

Tuning to radio stations
There are three ways to tune into stations: automatically – with the station search,
manually – with a step-by-step search through the frequencies, directly - by entering the
frequency number.
1 Press »POWER« to switch on the device.
2 Press »FM MW SW1 SW2« to set the waveband.
Note:
If you have set short wave, select the band you want (see the table on page 26). Press
»METER« repeatedly.

Switching to SW frequency tuning
This function lets you tune into the SW frequencies between wave bands and off the wave
bands.
1 Move the »SW FREQ. A B« (in battery compartment) switch to the »A« position.
– Only stations with frequencies within the wave band can be received.
2 Move the »SW FREQ. A B« (in battery compartment) switch to the »B« position.
– Stations with frequencies in the gaps of the wave band can also be received.
Switching to MW fine tuning
The distance between neighbouring stations on MW range is standardised worldwide.
However, North and South America use a different standard to other countries.
1 Move the »AM STEP 9kHz 10kHz« (in battery compartment) switch to the
»9kHz« position.
– MW fine tuning is done in 9 kHz stages (except in North and South America).
2 Move the »AM STEP 9kHz 10kHz« (in battery compartment) switch to the
»10kHz« position.

INFORMATION

Short wave
Your radio is able to receive numerous wavebands. Tuning into FM and MW stations will
soon become much easier as the stations will always be in the same place on the tuning
scale and linked to a particular wave length and frequency.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case with short wave stations. Short wave transmissions
have to change their wavelengths very often because of atmospheric interference. Most
short wave bands are available all over the world and can be used by international broadcasters. At present these are the only wavelengths which provide listeners with direct reception over long distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by radio
stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiasts, shipping, aircraft and
radio navigation systems.
Listening to short wave radio stations means you have to be well informed about all the frequencies and wavelengths. Many short wave stations will send you broadcasting schedules
which give you the information you need. You can also download the information from the
Internet.
