LINE-IN/OUT SOCKET

This socket provides an industry standard, fixed level audio input/output source to safely route the ELITE EXECUTIVE's audio to the line-in socket of a stereo system or recording device, or to play an audio device, such as MP3, through the ELITE EXECUTIVE.

1. To route a line-in source into the ELITE EXECUTIVE, turn it off, attach a double 1/8 inch(3.5mm) stereo cord to the ELITE EXECUTIVE's LINE in/out socket and to the output of the other system. Press TZ/LINE IN button and "LINE IN" appears in the LCD, which indicates LINE IN is on. Press this button again to turn it off LINE IN function
2. To route the audio output of your ELITE EXECUTIVE to another device, turn it on, plug a 1/8 inch (3.5mm) stereo cord into the ELITE EXECUTIVE's Line in/out socket and into the other device's Line IN socket. Follow your external device's line-in/out instructions.

Note: When a cable is plugged into the Line in/out socket it will have no effect on the internal speaker operation. The internal speaker will still play back audio. Also note that the Line Input is a fixed amplitude output that cannot be controlled using the volume knob.

The ELITE EXECUTIVE's headphone jack use is mutually exclusive with the internal speaker. When headphones are plugged into the headphone jack the internal speaker will be muted. The volume of the signal from the headphone jack can be adjusted using the volume knob.

VOLUME CONTROL

Rotate the volume knob upwards or downwards to get your desired volume.

EXTERNAL ANTENNA SOCKET

The external antenna socket is used to connect the ELITE EXECUTIVE to advanced performance shortwave antennas using a 50 or 75 ohm coaxial cable feed-line when the user listens to FM/SW/AIR band.

Caution: Do not use external antenna in lightning storms to avoid lightning strike.
