Connecting an external antenna for
optimum reception
Tips
• When extending the
cord and case of the
supplied SW compact
antenna outside the
window, make sure
that doing so will not
pose any threat or
danger to you and
others. In addition,
make sure to secure
firmly so as not to drop
the SW compact
antenna.
• After using the SW
compact antenna, turn
the reel in the direction
of the arrow to wind up
the cord.
Using the supplied SW antenna
Under normal conditions, the telescopic antenna is
sufficient for optimal SW reception. However, the use
of the supplied SW antenna is recommended if the
reception is poor when listening to the radio inside a
building due to concrete and metal obstructions.
For the compact antenna (AN-71) supplied with
ICF-SW1000T
2
Cord
Coupler
1 Case
1 Fully pull out the cord from the case.
2 Attach the coupler to the telescopic antenna.
3 If the window can be opened, gently extend the cord
with the case outside the window after making sure
that doing so will not pose any danger.
If the window cannot be opened, fully extend the
cord along the frame of the window.
For the active antenna (AN-LP1) supplied with
ICF-SW1000TS
Before operating the unit, please read the instructions
manual for AN-LP1.
Using the antenna connector (supplied for the
World model only)
Use the supplied antenna connector when using an
SW wire antenna, etc.
1 Connect the wire antenna wire to the supplied
antenna connector.
Wire

Earth wire
2 Connect the antenna connector to the AM EXT ANT
jack of the unit.
EN
Radio20
Page 64
Notes
• Connect the
recommended
antennas only to the
AM EXT ANT jack of
the unit. The AM EXT
ANT jack supplies a 3
V DC power output to
the recommended
antennas. Failure to use
the recommended
antennas where
applicable may lead to
the malfunction of the
unit.
• Keep the unit and
antenna away from
fluorescent lights,
televisions, and
computers which may
generate noise.
• When receiving MW or
LW broadcasts without
using the external
MW/LW antenna,
make sure to
disconnect the SW
external antenna where
applicable. If not, the
built-in ferrite bar
antenna will not
operate and MW/LW
broadcast will not be
received successfully.
• Retract the telescopic
antenna when using an
external antenna.
• Set up the external
antenna as far away
from the street as
possible.
• For more details on the
external antenna, refer
to its Operating
Instructions manual.
Using the wide range antenna (not supplied)
Use the wide range antenna AN-1 or AN-102 (not
supplied) to improve SW, MW and LW receptions as
necessary. Wide range antenna usage will differ for
SW and MW/LW receptions as described below.
For SW reception
Use the connection cord supplied with the AN-1 or
AN-102 to connect between the OUTPUT jack of the
antenna controller and the AM EXT ANT jack of this
unit.
For MW/LW reception
1 Use the connection cord and antenna coupler
supplied with the AN-1 or AN-102 to connect
between the OUTPUT jack of the antenna controller
and the INPUT jack of the antenna coupler.
2 Position the antenna coupler near the unit where
MW/LW reception is optimal.

Precautions and Maintenance
On battery
• Insert the batteries with the correct
polarity.
• Do not mix new and used batteries.
• The batteries cannot be charged.
• Remove the batteries when the unit
will not be used for a long time.
• Should any battery leakage occur,
wipe the battery case well and install
new batteries.
On placement
• Do not leave the unit in a location
near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive
dust or mechanical shock.
• If the unit is left in a car parked in
the sun, be sure to choose a location
in the car where the unit will not be
subjected to the direct rays of the
sun.
• Use the unit within a temperature
range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
If it is used in temperatures outside
this range, an irregular display (i.e.,
88.88...) may appear. If it is used in
temperatures lower than this range,
the display may change very slowly.
These irregularities will disappear
and there will be no damage to the
unit when the unit is used in its
recommended temperature range.
• In vehicles or buildings, radioreception may be difficult or noisy.
Try listening near a window.
• Reception of around 3.64 MHz may
be difficult because of internal
spurious signals generated by the
built-in oscillators.
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall
into the unit, unplug the unit, and
have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any
further. Make sure that no liquid or
foreign material enters the DC IN 3V
jack of the unit. This may lead to the
malfunction of the unit.
• When the casing becomes soiled,
clean it with a soft dry cloth
dampened with mild detergent
solution. Never use abrasive
cleansers or chemical solvents, as
they may mar the casing.
• Since a strong magnet is used for the
speaker, keep personal credit cards
using magnetic coding or springwound watches away from the unit
to prevent them from possible
damage caused by the magnet.
• When there is lightning and you are
using an external antenna,
immediately disconnect the AC
power adaptor (if connected) from
the wall outlet. Never touch the
antenna wire when there is a
lightning storm.
• Never connect a ground wire to a
gas pipe

Tips on radio waves
What is SSB (Single Side Band)?
SSB is very popular among ham and
business radio transmissions, and is
commonly used in many amateur
bands because of its superiority in
signal intelligibility. Its impressive
signal intelligibility is achieved with
minimum interferences when
compared to DSB (Double Side Band)
owing to its half bandwidth structure.
In general, SSB transmissions employ
the USB (Upper Side Band)
modulation, while amateur band
transmissions below 10 MHz employ
the LSB (Lower Side Band)
modulation.
Conventional radios without a BFO
(Beat Frequency Oscillator) circuit
cannot receive SSB transmissions
successfully. This unit can receive SSB
transmissions successfully with the
built-in BFO (Beat Frequency
Oscillator) circuit.

What is CW (Continuous Wave)?
CW is also popular among ham and
business radio transmissions. Unlike
other signals, the amplitude of a
carrier is not modulated for CW
transmissions. CW transmissions
convey information by interrupting
the carrier and use Morse code as a
means of communication.
This unit can receive CW
transmissions successfully with the
built-in BFO (Beat Frequency
Oscillator) circuit as beat sound only.
To fully comprehend the information
transmitted by CW transmissions, an
understanding of the Morse code is
prerequisite.

What is synchronous detection?
There are two underlying obstacles in
optimum AM reception: distortions due
to fading and interferences from adjacent
broadcast stations.
The synchronous detection is effective in
solving these obstacles.
Distortions due to fading are generally
caused by over-modulation which occurs
when a carrier component of the
received signal is attenuated along the
way. The synchronous detection circuit
of this unit generates a pure carrier
frequency with no level variation which
is ideally synchronized with the original
carrier to compensate for the attenuated
carrier component, thus dramatically
reducing distortion.
Likewise, AM (LW, MW, and SW)
broadcast generally employs DSB
(Double Side Band) signals for
transmissions in which the modulated
signals are transmitted using both the
upper and lower side bands (USB and
LSB). In most cases, one of the side bands
is affected by interferences from adjacent
broadcast stations (i.e., beats). The
synchronous detection circuit of this unit
extracts one of the two sides (USB or
LSB) of the DSB (Double Side Band)
signal which is free from interferences.
This allows clear reception without the
interferences from adjacent broadcast
stations.
