AM and FM Antennas
The Duo-i
plus
comes out of the box ready to use. The internal AM antenna is connected. The FM antenna is
also connected. Just extend the wire connected to the plug. With the standard antennas you’ll probably pull
in more stations than any other radio you own. But if you want to listen to stations that are very far away then
external antennas can be connected to the antenna inputs.
About the Front Panel Controls
Most of the Duo-i
plus
functions are operated by the three controls
on the front panel.
power/Volume
– Is controlled by the large knob in the center of
the panel.
Mode
– Selects the input you want to use or the function you
want to adjust.
tune
– Tunes in a new radio station.
These logical, intuitive controls make it easy to operate the Duo-i
plus
.
The way you use each contol is the same for each feature. Once
you learn how to control one of the features the rest of them
will be easy. You may not need to refer to this manual once you
understand the way the controls work.
About the Remote Control
Most of the features of the Duo-i
plus
can be operated with the supplied remote
control. When it’s not being used, the remote control can be conveniently
stored in the recess on top of the Duo-i
plus
, in front of the iPhone/iPod dock.
The remote also has a magnetic backing so it can be attached to many metal
surfaces.
note:
When you unpack your remote control there will be a plastic insulation
tab extending from the battery compartment. Pull out this tab before using the
remote control.
There must be an unobstructed line of sight to the front of the Duo-i
plus
when
using the remote control. Point the remote control at the front panel of the
Duo-i
plus
when pressing the buttons. For best results you should be within 20 feet of the unit and no more
than 45° off axis.
note:
Eventually you’ll need to replace the remote battery. If the remote doesn’t reliably operate the Duo-i
plus
,
put in a new CR2025 3V lithium coin type battery.
