IMPORTANT (Please read before use)

SW Memories

The ATS-909X is supplied with 39 pages of SW memory pre-

programmed. Not all of the stations pre-programmed into the

memories will be receivable, some will only be receivable at certain
times of the day.

When selecting a page of memory the ATS-909X will scan and
select the memory preset for the strongest station. At certain times
the strongest station may not be from the country/station of the
page selected.

This happens for example when say the BBC world service is not

transmitting on one of their frequencies at a particular time – the
frequency then becomes available to another broadcaster. If this

should occur simply press one of the preset buttons 1-9 until the
desired station is received.

Note:

Due to the constantly changing frequencies and transmission

times used on shortwave the user should contact the relevant
broadcasting station for the most up to date information regarding

transmission times and frequencies.

POWER SUPPLY

The ATS-909X operates on 4xUM-3 (AA Size) batteries. If an
external adapter is used it must be capable of providing 9.0V AC,
700mA with center connector negative.
