(FIG. 2)

USING THE ANTENNA

TIPS TO IMPROVE RECEPTION

A. For FM/SW broadcasting:

In case of receiving FM/SW broadcasting, fully extend the telescopic antenna, and adjust it's length and direction to get a better reception.

B. For MW/LW broadcasting:

There is magnetic antenna inside the radio. When receiving MW and LW broadcasting, rotate the radio or change it's location to achieve optimum reception.

Note:

The bottom of the antenna can be rotated and stretched.

TUNE INTO STATIONS

Press the POWER ON/OFF button to turn on your radio, then select your desired band by pressing the FM, AM, SW (▲) or (▼) button. Now, you can turn into your favorite stations with any of the following tuning methods:

METHOD 1: ETM (EASY TUNING MODE)

ETM skillfully combines a reception circuit of high quality and high precision dial for easy tuning radio stations.

Using ETM to auto tune and store all available stations into a temporary memory without effecting ATS nor regular memories, please follow below steps:

1. Press the ETM button to enter on Easy Tuning Mode. The display will show the word ETM.
2. Select your desired band by pressing on the FM/AM/SW button, then press and hold the ETM button until the auto scan starts.

The auto scan function will store all the available stations in the ETM memory.

1. When the auto scan has stopped the searching, turn the TUNING KNOB to select those recently stored stations.

TIPS TO IMPROVE RECEPTION

A. For FM stations:

When you are in a different city or country, you should perform the ETM function again instead of using ATS function, because this will not delete any of the stations already stored within the memory.

B. For MW stations:

We highly recommend to perform the ETM function again during night time, as many stations start broadcasting at night.

C. For SW stations:

It is recommendable to perform the ETM function in the morning, afternoon as well as night time, because the transmitting signal of SW is very unstable and usually there are more stations that start broadcasting in the late afternoon.

Notes:

• While operating ETM to search for stations, a few stations might be missed if there is interference in the surrounding. In this case, you can simply key-in the frequency, then press the ETM button to manually store it into the ETM memory.

TUNE INTO STATIONS

METHOD 2: MANUAL TUNING

A. Frequency searching:

Press the VF button to switch into frequency mode, and then rotate the TUNING KNOB knob to select your desired station.

step band	Slow tuning mode	Fast tuning mode
	tuning step	tuning step
FM	0.01 MHz	0.1 MHz
MW	1kHz	9/10kHz
LW	1kHz	9kHz
SW	1kHz	5kHz

B. Memory searching:

Press the VM button to switch into memory mode, and then rotate the TUNING KNOB to select those stored stations.

METHOD 3: AUTO BROWSE STATIONS

1. Turn on the radio and press the VF button to switch into frequency mode.
2. Press and hold the VF button until the FAST TUNING speed mode "starts scanning from one station to another, staying on each station for about 5 seconds.
3. To stop the auto browse function, simply press the VF button again.

METHOD 4: DIRECT KEYPAD ENTRY

To search for a frequency, turn on the radio and press the VF button to switch into frequency mode, press the numeric keys 0-9 to enter the station frequency directly. To search for those stored stations, press the VM button to switch into memory mode, then press the numeric keys 0-9 to enter the preset memory number directly.

Notes:

While operating the Auto-browse Station function, you can press the M button anytime to store the current station in the memory; the unit will keep on auto browsing the next available station afterwards.
- ignore the decimal point for FM band when inputting the frequency numbers. For example, FM 89.3 MHz, just enter 8.9 3.
- if the entered frequency is not within the covering area, the display will show the "Err" (error) symbol.

EN 14

USING THE STORED STATIONS

There's a total of 550 preset memories within the unit; 100 preset memories for each FM, MW, and LW band, and 250 for SW.

METHOD 1: ATS (AUTO TUNING STORAGE)

Notes:

• During ATS process in FM, MW / LW or SW (mode A), pre-stored radio stations will be replaced automatically by the new searched stations.
• With ATS in SW (mode B), those existing memories will not be replaced; all the newly found radio stations will be stored in the blank memory addresses.
• If there is too much interference in your surrounding or many mirror/blank stations are being stored during ATS, you should contract the telescopic antenna (FM and SW) or rotate the radio for better reception (MW and LW).

FM/SW RECEPTION

HOW TO IMPROVE FM/SW RECEPTION

Plug in the external wire antenna to the FM & SW ANTENNA jack of this radio, and then hang its end outside the window for better reception of FM and SW.

Note:

• When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

LINE-IN MODE

Auxiliary input function mode

This unit can be used as an active speaker for laptop computers, MP3 and other small audio players following below steps.

1. Connect the audio cable to the LINE IN jack; the display will show a “ ” symbol confirming that the plug has been connected with the radio.
2. Press the POWER button with the symbols ">>" flashing to play; then rotate the VOLUME button to adjust the volume.
3. Press the POWER button again to turn off the speaker of the radio.

USING BATTERIES

1. Batteries must be inserted correctly in accordance with the polarity marks to avoid damage to the radio.
2. If the batteries haven't been changed in a long time, the clock of the radio will stop working. However, the pre-stored frequencies are still kept. The clock will work again after new batteries are re-installed.
3. When the battery power is low, the " symbol new the display will flash advising you to replace the exhausted batteries for new ones. The radio will turn off automatically when the battery power isn't enough.
