HOW TO OPTIMIZE SHORTWAVE RECEPTION
Being aware of the following information will help you get the best
results listening to shortwave.
• Shortwave reception is best around sunrise, sunset, and at night
• Night shortwave is usually superior to day shortwave reception
• During the day, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually best
• At night, frequencies below 13 MHz are usually best
• Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may be good
• Getting very close to a window improves shortwave reception
• Holding the radio improves shortwave reception
HOW TO USE THE EMERGENCY LIGHT
Set the FLASHLIGHT to the ON position.
HOW TO USE THE EARPHONE JACK
Plug in a set of earphones (Earphones only included with FR200G
Model) of your choice that have a 1/8 inch mono or stereo plug.
When using earphones the built-in speaker will be switched off
automatically. Note that stereo earphones will work and sound will
be heard from both sides, although FM is not received in stereo.
1. Do not drop and keep away from fire.
2. Do not use abrasive powders to clean the cabinet. Wipe it with
a soft cloth moistened with a mild soap and water solution.
3. Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
4. Do not use old and new batteries together or different brands and
types together.

PRECAUTIONS
Even if no power source is available, including the Ni-MH battery
pack, the radio and the light can still be operated by continually
turning the dynamo crank. Set the POWER SELECTOR switch to
the DYNAMO ADAPTOR position.
HOW TO TURN ON AND OFF
Turn it on by selecting a power source of your choice as described
above and then by setting the POWER SELECTOR switch to the
DYNAMO ADAPTOR or BATTERY position.
Turn it off by setting the POWER SELECTOR switch to the POWER OFF
position.
HOW TO ADJUST THE VOLUME
Turn the VOLUME control knob until the desired volume level is heard.
HOW TO TUNE-IN STATIONS
Set the band selector rotary switch to the FM, AM, SW1, or SW2
position. Tune stations in with the TUNING knob, using the superim-
posed FINE TUNING control as desired. For best FM and shortwave
reception, fully extend the telescopic antenna. FM reception can
often be improved by rotating the telescopic antenna. For AM
reception, the telescopic antenna need not be extended, as the AM
antenna is an internal, directional, ferrite bar antenna. For best AM
reception, rotate the radio until the best signal strength is achieved.
See the next section for how to optimize shortwave reception.
