Turning On and Off

Band Switch

Tuning Desired Stations

Turn the knob clockwise to turn your radio ON. You will hear a click indicating that the
switch has been turned on or off. The radio main dial backlight will illuminate and the
Magic Eye indicator will slowly turn on in about 10 seconds. Remember that your tube
radio takes a few moments to warm up before you will hear sound from the speaker.

Adjust the volume control clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to reduce
volume. To turn the radio off, turn the volume control fully counterclockwise. You will
hear a click as the radio turns off. The radio dial backlight and Magic Eye will turn off.

Select AM or FM using the band selector switch. In the AM position, the radio will receive
AM stations (540 – 1700 KHz). In the FM position, the radio will receive the FM band
(87.5 – 108 MHz). The AUX position is used to play external audio sources connected to
the radio using the rear-mounted AUX IN socket (such as PC, CD or MP3 players).

Select your desired band and then adjust the Main Tuning Knob to receive your desired
station.

The Main Tuning Knob is used to tune and search for radio stations on the selected band.
Adjust the Knob to receive the desired station. Note that FM stations are referenced on the
LEFT side of the main dial using the RED line on the LEFT side of the Main Tuning Knob.
When receiving AM stations, refer to the RIGHT side of the main dial using the RED line
on the right side of the Main Tuning Knob.

As you turn the Main Tuning Knob you will note that the Magic Eye changes to show you
when stations are properly tuned.
