AM STEP selector (MW)
The minimum ’frequency distance’ (span division) between
adjacent radio stations (measured in kHz) is standardized all
over the world.
However, North and South America use another standard than
the rest of the world.
This means that the radio should use a tuning step according to
the standard concerned in order to obtain accurate radio
tuning.
The AM STEP switch (in the battery compartment) allows
accurate tuning for both standards.
Position 10 kHz for the Americas
– MW tuning step 10 kHz;
Position 9 kHz for the the rest of the
world
– MW tuning step 9 kHz;
Aerials
• For FM reception extend the telescopic aerial fully. To
improve the reception you can incline and rotate the aerial.
If the FM signal received is too strong (in the direct vicinity
of the transmitter) you can retract the aerial.
• For the medium wave (MW), the set has a built-in aerial, so
the telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct the aerial
by turning the set itself.
• For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic aerial
and position it vertically.

– The loudspeaker will then be switched off.
• Set the wave range with the FM MW SW1 SW2 switch
• If you select SW with the FM MW SW1 SW2 switch, press
METER to select the required meter band of short wave (see
the SW Tuning Table on page 2).
– The chosen short-wave band and the
frequency will appear on the display.
• Tune to a radio station either
manually, automatically, directly or
with the PRESET buttons, see next page.
FM MONO/STEREO
– When '
ɳ' appears on the display, you are receiving an FM
stereo transmitter. If you are listening with headphones, you
will hear the FM station in stereo.
• A disturbing noise, due to a weak FM stereo signal, can be
suppressed by setting MONO/STEREO to MONO.
– The '
ɳ' indication goes out and you will hear the FM
station in mono.
• Press POWER once again to switch the radio off.
– The display will now indicate the current time.
