SETTINGS Setting the clock Due to the earth's rotation, places to the west of you are behind you in time, and places to the east are ahead of you. Therefore, the earth is divided into 24 hourly time zones. This system is based on à standard time zone called UTC (Universal Time Coordinated), previously known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Short wave stations always give the time according to UTC. Before you setthe clock, find out your local time zone. You can set to different local times. Local time 1 is the time where you live. ff, for example, you travel to Hong Kong, you can set the time there as local time 2. The seting for local time 1 is retained. Setting local time 1 When you first switch on the device, or if ithas been without a power supp- ly for a lengthy period, »8: 00% and » {D « for local tme 1 appear in the display to indicate that the clock has to be set. 1 With the device switched off, keep pressing »41 FREQ./ CLOCK« until »=:=-« appears in the display and » {D « flashes.

It is easy to get used to tuning to stations in the FM, MW and LW bands, since they are always on the same frequencies Unfortunately, this is not always the case with short wave stations. Due to atmospheric conditions, short wave stations must frequentiy broadcast on different wavelengths. Most short wave bands are available all over the world and can be used by international broadcasters. At present these are the only wavelengths which provide listeners with direct reception over long distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by radio stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiasts, shipping, aircraft and radio navigation systems.

OPERATION If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise frequency and wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broad- casüng schedules which give you the information you need. You can also download the information from the Internet Connecdting the external SW antenna To improve short wave reception, you can connect the external SW antenna supplied. 1 insertthe plug of the antenna cable into the »SW EXT. ANT.« socket on the left of the device. Note: Unroll and align the antenna to achieve the best reception. If there is interference, you can move the »DX./ LO.« switch to »LO.« SSB reception (for example for radio hams and shipping) Some short wave stations broadcast Morse code for shipping using conti- nuous waves (CW ). Voice signals, for example amateur radio, is normally broadcast on the single side band (SSB). 1 Selectthe SW waveband using »BAND« 2 Selectthe frequency band, for example »15 me, using »SW SELECT« 3 Setthe »SSB ON OFF+ switch (on the right of the device) tb »ON« - The »TUNE/SSB @ « LED lights up red and then goes out 4 Slowly turn the »SSB FINE TUNING« dial on the right of the device unël you achieve a clear reception. - If an SSB station is received, the »TUNE/SSB © « LED lights up orange. Notes: For fine tuning, you can also press in the TUNING FINEX dial. The range for SSB fine tuning is around + 1.5 kHz. ENGLISH
