Batteries
• Open the battery compartment and insert 3 alkaline batteries of
the type R6, UM 3 or AA.
• 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
DC 4.5 V +<-
socket is in use, the battery supply
will switch off automatically.
Note on Environmental Protection
Do not throw exhausted batteries in the household
refuse.
Hand over the old batteries to your dealer or public
collecting points when buying new ones.
Warning for weak batteries :
When the batteries run low, the sound volume declines gradually.
The indication appears on the display. Continued operation
with low batteries causes the radio to turn off
automatically, other malfunctioning and losing programmed time
settings. In this case, remove the batteries and press a paper clip
through the RESET hole.
Readjust the time settings. To prevent that the radio is switched on
accidentally, use the LOCK-switch when packing the radio or putting
it away.

POWER SUPPLY
GB
AC Mains adapter (not included)
You can connect the set to the mains using a
mains adapter.
Only use a mains adapter which supplies 4.5 V
DC with the negative pole at the centre pin of the
plug (
+<-
).
Before connecting the mains adapter
• Check that the mains voltage indicated on the type plate of the
adapter matches your local mains voltage.
• If the mains adapter is equipped with a voltage selector, set this
to the local voltage.
• Connect the mains adapter to the
DC 4.5 V +<-
socket of the
set and to the wall socket.
Power failure
– If the power supply is interrupted, the programmed time settings
will be kept in the memory for 30 seconds.
– If the AC power is disconnected from the 4.5 DC socket, the
batteries (if present) will take over the supply.
Short Wave (SW)
Your world receiver can receive a 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
wavelengths fairly often. In the short-wave range between 10 and
100-metre wavelength (frequencies of 30-3 MHz resp.) nine bands
between 10 and 50 metres are allocated to short-wave
broadcasting, with another four bands between 60 and 120 metres
for broadcasting in the earth’s tropical areas. The latter are roughly
located between the latitudes of 30° north and 30° south, i.e.
around the equator. Most short-wave broadcasting bands, indicated
in the short-wave table, are allocated for the whole world and can
be used for international broadcasting. They are so far the only
wavelengths which allow direct radio 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.
Aerials
• For FM reception extend the telescopic aerial fully. To improve
the reception you can incline and rotate the aerial. If the FM
signal received is too strong (in the direct vicinity of the
transmitter) you can retract the aerial.
• For the medium wave (MW), the set has a built-in aerial, so the
telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct the aerial by
turning the set itself.
• For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic aerial and
position it vertically.
Radio reception
• Ensure that the LOCK-switch is off.
• Press ON/OFF to switch the radio on.
• Adjust the volume with the VOL F control.
• You can connect headphones to the p socket .
– The loudspeaker will then be switched off.
• Set the wave range with the FM MW SW1..7 switch
FM = VHF waveband
MW = Medium Wave
SW = Short Wave.
• Stations can be tuned to with the rotary TUNING control using
the waveband dial. If a station is accurately tuned, the TUNING
6 indicator lights up.
FM MONO/STEREO
– When appears on the display, you are receiving an FM
stereo transmitter. If you are listening with
headphones, you will hear the FM station in stereo.
• A disturbing noise, due to a weak FM stereo signal, can be
suppressed by setting MO./ST. to MO..
– The indication goes out and you will hear the FM station in
mono.
• Press ON/OFF once again to switch the radio off.

The first time the YB 218 is
used, or if the memory is

HOME and ’0:00’ will
blink on the left of the display.
The
TIME ZONE shows ‘+0’.
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 earth. Due to the direction of 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.
To check which time zone you are now at, use the schedule below
the frequency scale on the front of the set.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
GB
Recall function
• By pressing the RECALL key, you can call up the alarm time, the
global time or the remaining sleep time in the right time display.
RESET function
• If, due to external interferences (caused by static charges of
carpets, thunderstorms, etc.), the control electronics of your Yacht
Boy 218 should receive bad information signals, or if no entries
at all are possible, press the RESET key. For pushing this button, it
is best to use a bent-up paper clip.
– This releases the RESET impulse which in turn resets the unit to its
initial programming state.
– The stored data for the clock and alarm times is cleared.
Use of the stand
• Fold out the stand on the rear of the set. You can now use the set
in an inclined position.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GB
Maintenance
• Only a soft cloth which picks up dust should be
used to clean the cabinet. Do not use aggresive
polishes or cleaning agents.
• Do not leave the set for any length of time in
direct sunlight or other places where high
temperatures can occur, such as in a car which is
parked in the sun.
• Rain, moisture (e.g. dripping and splashing) and
excessive heat are bad for the radio and the
batteries.
Recycling
Please observe the local regulations
regarding the disposal of packing
materials, exhausted batteries and old
equipment.
• All redundant packaging material has been
omitted. We have done our utmost to make the
packaging easily separable into three monomaterials:
– cardboard (box),
– expandable polystyrene (buffer)
– polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet)
• Your set consists of materials which can be
recycled if disassembled by a specialized
company.
