1. Intended Use
This device is intended for the reception of
generally approved radio transmissions in
all countries (world receiver) and only for
household use.
It is not intended for the reception of stations that are not generally approved, for
use as part of safety radio systems, such
as on board sport boats, or for use in commercial or industrial environments. It is also
not intended for climate zones outside of
the ranges specified under Technical Data.

3. Safety Instructions
Transportable world receivers are used in a
wide range of climate zones. Particularly
when outdoors, make certain that ...
• the environmental limits are not exceeded (see Section 2).
•Electronic devices can be damaged by
moisture.
• Extremely dry air can cause static charges that can lead to faulty functions.
• Excessive temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight) or very low temperatures (e.g. outdoors in winter) can permanently darken
the liquid crystal display.
Transportable devices are particularly at
risk to accidental damage. You can reduce
this risk by observing the following:
•Protect the device against heavy stresses, such as impacts and falls.
• Select a location in your travel luggage
where it cannot be damaged or switched on by other hard objects.
•When in areas with elevated security
requirements (e.g. airplanes), it is best
to transport the device without the batteries inserted because it cannot be
completely switched off (clock, timer
functions, ...).
KH2025-2026_IB_UK 01.04.2004 11:29 Uhr Seite 6

b) External Power Supply
Connect an external power supply of
DC 6...7.5V / 300 mA to the power supply jack, as seen in the picture.
Note: The station memory described in
Section 7 will be deleted if the device is
without power for longer than about 30
seconds.
You should therefore leave an external
power supply connected while you change
the batteries – or finish changing them within 30 seconds!
4. Power Supply
Important: Make certain that the polarity is
correct – both for the batteries as well as
for the external power supply. If the polarity
is reversed, the device will be damaged.
a) About the Batteries
• Open the battery compartment on the
back side of the device and insert four
batteries of type "1.5V AA" according to
the labels in the battery compartment.
Note: Used batteries may not be disposed of in household waste. Return these
to your retailer or to an appropriate collection site for disposal.

c) Switching Off with Time Delay
If you would like to listen to the radio for a
while longer, for instance before falling
asleep, but would like the device to switch
off automatically after a certain amount of
time (10...90 minutes), ...
press the button RADIO ON / SLEEP
only enough times until the desired
number of minutes is shown in the
display ("10 ... 90").
The countdown begins immediately with
the first press of this button. If you do not
alter the remaining time, the display will
switch back to the tuned frequency. You
can check the remaining time or reduce it
by pressing the ...
button RADIO ON / SLEEP again.
5. Switching On / Off
With this device, you can only switch the
reception operation on and off. The clock
for time and date as well as the timer continue to function as long as the device is
supplied with power.
a) Switching On
To switch on the device, briefly press
the button RADIO ON / SLEEP once.
"ON" appears initially in the display, followed by the tuned frequency.
b) Switching Off Immediately
To switch the the device off, press the
button SNOOZE / Radio off , or ...
the button RADIO ON / SLEEP repea-
tedly until "OFF" appears in the display.

6. Receive Mode
As soon as the device is switched on as
described under 5., it is already in receive
mode.
a) Setting the Volume
Press the buttons ▼ VOLUME ▲ to
adjust the volume.
b) Selecting the Reception Range (Band)
Select the desired reception range with
the sliding switch:
- USW = Ultra Short Wave
- MW = Medium Wave
- SW = Short Wave
- LW = Long Wave
c) Changing the Medium Wave Rage
The frequency range and tuning intervals of
MW vary by region:
Set the sliding switch to
- up in the region "USA"
- down in the region "Europe".
d) Searching for Stations
Press briefly on one of the two TUNING
buttons to search upward or downward
in steps.
Hold one of the TUNING buttons pres-
sed to start a scan. The device stops as
soon as a sufficiently strong station is
found. Pressing the button again will
continue the scan.
KH2025-2026_IB_UK 01.04.2004 11:29 Uhr Seite 9
10
e) Short Wave (SW) Sensitivity
If the the scan process frequently lasts too
long, for instance because too many signals are received in the evening, the sensitivity can be reduced to short wave (local
reception).
Set the sensitiviy switch to
- RX for local reception
- LX for long-range reception.
f) Sensitivity and Antennas
The telescoping antenna is responsible for
USW and short wave (SW). You can alter
the reception strength by adjusting the
length, inclination and direction of the
antenna.
A ferrite antenna is built into the device for
medium wave (MW) and long wave (LW)
reception. Turn the entire device to alter the
reception strength.
7. Memory
A total of 160 memory positions are available – specifically ...
-5 blocks of 10 positions each for USW
-5 blocks of 10 positions each for MW
-5 blocks of 10 positions each for SW
-1 block with 10 positions for LW.
The blocks are also designated as "pages".
This division into blocks is useful to allow
the stations to be saved according to a
meaningful organisation principle. For
instance ...
- by type: music, news, sports
- by location: local stations or frequently
visited travel destinations
- by person: if multiple family members
use the device

window PAGE contains the number for
the block 1...5 to which you would like
to save the station.
Once you have selected the desired block
(page), ...
then press one of the buttons
M0/5 M1/6 M2/7 M3/8 M4/9
to select the memory position 0...9.
The number associated with the memory position then appears in the small
window MEM.
Note: These buttons each have two
assignments. Each press switches between the two assignments (e.g between
0 and 5).
When you have selected the desired
memory position, ...
press the button MEMORY again. The
station is now saved.
