3. Safety Instructions
Transportable world receivers are used in
a wide range of climate zones. Particularly
when outdoors, take note that ...
the environmental limits are not exceeded
(see Section 2a).
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.

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
rear 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. Remove all batteries from
the battery compartment if you are not
planning to use the device for a longer
period. The device can be irreparably
damaged by leaking battery acids.
Transportable devices are particularly
at risk of accidental damage. You can
reduce this risk by paying attention to
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, ...).
KH 2027 KH 2028
- 7 -
KH2027_2028_IB_UK_V6 20.02.2006 9:44 Uhr Seite 7
b) External Power Supply
Connect the power supply adapter
DC 6.V / 400 mA to the power supply
jack.
Note: The radio station memory described
in section 7 will be deleted if the device is
without power supply for more than
approx. 30 seconds.
You should therefore keep the external power
supply connected when changing the
batteries – or complete the task within
30 seconds!
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 for 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. In the
display, “ON” appears initially, followed
by the selected frequency.
b) Switching Off Immediately
To switch off, press the key SNOOZE /
Radio off , or ...
the button RADIO ON / SLEEP repeatedly
until “OFF” appears in the display.

KH2027_2028_IB_UK_V6 20.02.2006 9:44 Uhr Seite 8
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 Control, to
adjust the volume.
b) Selecting the Reception Range (Band)
Select the desired reception range with
the sliding switch:
- FM = Ultra short wave
- AM = Medium Wave
- SW = Short Wave
- LW = Long Wave
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
repeatedly 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
change the remaining time, the display will
switch back to the set frequency.
You can check the remaining time or reduce
it by pressing the ...
button RADIO ON / SLEEP again.

KH2027_2028_IB_UK_V6 20.02.2006 9:44 Uhr Seite 9
c) Changing the Medium Wave Range
The frequency range and tuning intervals
of AM vary by region:
Region “Europe”: (9KHz)
Region “USA”: (10KHz)
When the device is switched off, and the
date and time appear alternatively in the
display:
Press the key MODE repeatedly until
EU 9k appears in the display.
Press the lower key TUNING.
US 10K appears in the display.
press the upper key, TUNING. EU 9k
appears again in the display.
The settings are adopted automatically
after 10 seconds.
d) Searching for Stations
Press briefly on one of the two TUNING
buttons to search upward or downward
in steps.
Hold one of the two TUNING buttons
pressed to start a scan. The device stops
as soon as a sufficiently strong station is
found. Pressing the button again will
continue the scan.
e) Radio Station Fine Tuning
When scanning, the middle point of the
individual radio station signal is used for
tuning. As a rule, this is sufficient. Should
this automatic tuning not lead to satisfactory reception, then for every reception
range (Band) except the LW (Band), a fine
tuning can be carried out.
KH 2027 KH 2028
- 10 -
KH2027_2028_IB_UK_V6 20.02.2006 9:44 Uhr Seite 10
g) Sensitivity and Antenna
Use the telescope antenna for FM 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 (AM) and long wave (LW) reception. Turn the entire device to alter the
reception strength.
7. Memory
A total of 250 memory positions are available - specifically - ...
- 6 blocks of 10 positions for FM
- 6 blocks of 10 positions for AM
- 10 blocks of 10 positions for SW
- 3 blocks of 10 positions for LW.
The blocks are also designated as “Pages”
Press the button Fine Set. In the display
FINE appears.
Now press one of the two TUNING but-
tons, to raise or lower the frequency in
small steps.
Press the button Fine Set again to deac-
tivate the fine tuning. In the display, FINE
disappears.
f) Sensitivity on Short Wave SW
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 sensitivity switch to
- LO for local reception
- DX for long-range reception.

This division into blocks is useful to allow
the stations to be saved according to a
meaningful organisation principle.
For instance ...

visited travel destinations
- by person: if multiple family members
use the device
a) Saving radio stations (e. g. FM)
When you have found a station that you
would like to save:
Press the button Memory Set.

Now two small windows appear in the
display:
- PAGE containing the numbers 0...5
- MEM containing an empty field.
Make your selection within the next 10
seconds, otherwise this display disappears
and you must restart the procedure.
Press the button PAGE repeatedly until
you see, in the small window PAGE, the

KH2027_2028_IB_UK_V6 20.02.2006 9:44 Uhr Seite 12
The device now automatically stores in
memory the radio stations with sufficient
transmission strength. The storage places
0...9 in the selected blocks are occupied.
The AMS function ends when all storage
places in the block are occupied.
c) Calling-up the stored radio stations
If you would like to call-up a saved station:
First of all select the reception range
(Band), e. g. FM.
Press the button PAGE repeatedly until
you see, in the small window PAGE, the
number for the block 0...5 from which
you want to call-up the radio station.
Then press on one of the buttons
M0/5 M1/6 M2/7 M3/8 M4/9 ,
until, in the small second window of
MEM the number of the storage space
appears.
Note: These buttons each have two
assignments. Each press on them switches
between the two assignments
(e.g. between 0 and 5).
When you have selected the desired
memory position,
Press the button Memory Set again.
The station is now saved.
b) AMS function
The device has an automatic transmission
storage.

signments. Each press switches between
the two assignments (e.g between 0 and 5).
d) Memory scan mode
If you have saved multiple stations:
First of all select the Band
(Reception range), e. g. FM.
Press the button PAGE repeatedly until
you see, in the small window PAGE, the
number for the block 0...5, in which you
want to start the search mode.
Press once briefly on the button Memory
Preview. Now, all the storage places are
called up in about 5 second steps.
If no station is saved at a memory position,
only static is heard. Pressing any button
(except for the volume buttons) ends the
memory scan.
8. Clock and Timer
The device can be used as a radio alarm
with two alarm times and one date alarm.
An alarm tone is also available in place
of the radio alarm function. If you do not
press any buttons for a period of 10 seconds, the device automatically returns to
standard default settings in the display.
To prematurely exit the programming
modus, switch the radio on with the button
RADIO ON / SLEEP. The settings programmed in before this time remain unchanged.
