Radio operation
Your radio is equipped with three wavebands to enable you to select the
programme of your choice. The FM band uses an external telescopic aerial
which should be fully extended and rotated for best reception. MW and LW
bands are received by an internal aerial which is directional. To achieve
the best reception, it may be necessary to rotate the radio.
1. Switch on the radio by rotating the
volume control
clockwise until a
click is heard.
2. Depress the appropriate
waveband button
for FM MW or LW as
required.
3. Tune to the desired programme by adjusting
tuning control
. On MW
and LW the tuning scale is marked in kilohertz (kHz) and on FM in
megahertz (MHz).
4. Adjust the
volume
and
tone controls
to the desired tone and sound
level. Depressing the tone control button reduces high frequencies
(treble).
Headphones
A 3.5mm socket is provided for use with either headphones or an earpiece.
Inserting a plug automatically mutes the internal loudspeaker.
Please be aware that the sensitivity of headphones can vary widely. We
therefore recommend setting the volume to a low level before connecting
headphones to the radio.
IMPORTANT:
Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones
can cause hearing loss.
