CONNECTING THE WIRE
ANTENNA
Besides the
DIRECTION
FINDER
anten-
na and the built-in telescoping antenna,
the radio comes with a separate wire an-
tenna (about 10 feet long) for reception
when you listen to the shortwave bands
(
SW
or
SW2
). To connect the antenna,
simply insert the antenna’s plug into
ANT
on the front of the radio.
For the best reception when using the
wire antenna, fully extend the antenna
and run it outside through a window (if
possible).
Note: If you lose or damage the sup-
plied wire antenna, you can replace it
with a shortwave antenna kit available at
your local RadioShack store.
ATTACHING THE CARRY
STRAP
The radio comes with a carry strap that
you can easily attach and use to carry
the radio with you almost anywhere you
go. Follow these steps to attach each
end of the supplied strap to the hanger
bars on the radio.
1. Insert one end of the strap into the
hanger bar on one side of the radio.
2. Loop the strap end around the bar
and pull up on the strap.
3. Insert the strap end into the lower
part of the buckle.
4. Pull the strap end through the top of
the buckle far enough to stop the
strap from slipping.
To shorten the strap for hand carry-
ing, slide the two buckles together.
To lengthen the strap for shoulder
carrying, slide the two buckles apart.
