TUNING IN FM STATIONS
The FM frequency range is from 87 to 108 MHz.
Fully extend the telescopic antenna and turn on the radio. •
Place the top BANDWIDTH control onto the MONO or STEREO •
position. Stereo is needed only when you’re using headphones and
STEREO appears above the top left of the frequency in the display.
FM mono has better signal and noise ratio as well as anti-multiplex
interference.
Tune in the station with the TUNING knob or by pressing the UP/•
DOWN button or by pressing and holding the UP/DOWN button for
one second to engage auto tuning.
BASS/TREBLE KNOBS
(lower left and right of four knobs at lower front center of radio)
Use these knobs to control the bass and treble response of the radio’s
speaker system.
USING THE AM RF GAIN KNOB
(upper right of four knobs at lower front center of radio)
When listening to AM (MW) broadcast stations, this control knob
should be dialed to or near position 5. If you are listening to a weak
station, increase the gain, when listening to extremely strong stations,
decrease the gain. For listening to Shortwave stations, place this
control to maximum gain and decrease the gain as necessary.
