POWER SUPPLY

Battery operation

1 Open the battery compartment on the back of the device by pressing the marking and opening the lid.
2 Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5 V, Mignon type LR6/AM3/AA).

Notes:

When the batteries are low, [BAT] flashes in the display. Each time you switch off the radio, the battery charge indicator, for example 3 appears for seven seconds. If the charge level falls below 2 you must change the batteries. Put in the new batteries within 3 minutes, otherwise all stored settings will be lost.

Take out the batteries when you know that the device will not be used for a long period of time. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from used batteries.

Environmental note:

Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.

Mains operation (with standard 6 V/200 mA mains adapter)

Check if the mains voltage on the mains adapter type plate corresponds to your local mains supply. The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to unplug the adapter.

1 Plug the mains adapter cable into the DC 6 V -包 包 socket on the left of the device.
2 Insert the mains adapter plug in the socket.

• The batteries in the compartment are switched off.

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 a 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 set the clock, find out your local time zone.

You can set two different local times. Local time 1 is the time where you live. If, for example, you travel to Hong Kong, you can set the time there as local time 2. The setting for local time 1 is retained.

Setting local time 1

When you first switch on the device, or if it has been without a power supply for a lengthy period, 0: 00 and 0 for local time 1 appear in the display to indicate that the clock has to be set.

1 With the device switched off, keep pressing FREQ./CLOCK « until «: -- « appears in the display and » 《 flashes.

Note:

If the radio is switched off, press DISPLAY to switch the display to the clock, and start at step 1.

2 Enter the time using the numerical buttons 1 ... 0 in the correct sequence, for example 12:30

Note:

if you enter the digits incorrectly, a signal sounds and Err flashes briefly in the display. You then have to start again.

3 Press FREQ./CLOCK to confirm the entry.

Setting local time 2

1 With the device switched off, press SW PAGE CLOCK 1/2.

• Display: 2 ∩ flashes for local time 2.

2 Press FREQ./CLOCK.

• Display: 2 stays lit for local time 2.

• The display is now set to local time 2.

3 To set local time 2, do the same as for local time 1 (steps 1 to 3).

Note:

If you are operating the device in the 12-hour format, you can choose between MEMO AM/PM AM and PM.

Special features of SW reception

Short wave reception

Your radio can receive signals in a number of frequency bands. 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 frequently 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 broadcasting schedules which give you the information you need. You can also download the information from the Internet.

Connecting the external SW antenna

To improve short wave reception, you can connect the external SW antenna supplied.

1 Insert the 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 continuous waves (CW). Voice signals, for example amateur radio, is normally broadcast on the single side band (SSB).

1 Select the SW waveband using BAND
2 Select the frequency band, for example 15m , using SW SELECT.
3 Set the SSB ON OFF switch (on the right of the device) to 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 until 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 FINE« dial.

The range for SSB fine tuning is around ± 1.5kHz
