The display provides information about the functioning of your world receiver:

– While the radio is switched off, the current time will be

indicated. The first time it is used, or if the memory is erased, ’0:00’ will appear on the display.

– When the radio is switched on, the frequency in kHz or

MHz and the wave band FM, MW, SW1 or SW2 will be indicated.

– When the alarm is switched on, the alarm mode (ALARM

and ɷ radio or

ʍ buzzer) will be indicated.

– !@this indicator lights up when a certain station is correctly

tuned to.

–

ɳ indicates stereo reception for FM.

– SLEEP indicates that the sleep time function is active. – LOCK indicates that all buttons are locked. – indicates that batteries should be replaced – MEMO lights up when you are storing stations.

Switching the display mode

You can change the information that appears on the display of the YB-P 2000, with the MODE button.

When the radio is off:

– The display shows the current time mode (

HOME

or DUAL).

• If you wish to check the other settings, press MODE briefly. – The display changes each time you press the button. – The display will return to the current time automatically after

five seconds (or press MODE briefly).

When the radio is on:

– The display shows the frequency.

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 and preset radio stations. In this case, remove the batteries and press a paper clip through the RESET hole.

Readjust the time settings and the preset radio stations. To prevent that the radio is switched on accidentally, use the LOCK-switch when packing the radio or putting it away.

YB-P 2000 page 18

POWER SUPPLY

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 and preset radio stations will be kept in the memory for 10 min. or more.

– If the AC power is disconnected from the 4.5 DC socket,

the batteries (if present) will take over the supply.

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 world map on the back of the set.

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 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 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.

SW Tuning mode (meterband/continuous)

Your Yachtboy P-2000 has a built-in SW frequency (SW FREQ.) tuning mode selection 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 meterbands.

YB-P 2000 page 19

GENERAL

AM STEP selector (MW)

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 AM STEP 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 the rest of the world

– MW tuning step 9 kHz;

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.

YB-P 2000 page 20
