Operating Instructions

Basic Operation:

1. Power On/Off: Rotate the power/volume knob clockwise to turn on the radio. Rotate counter-clockwise until a click is heard to turn off.
2. Adjust Volume: Rotate the power/volume knob to adjust the listening volume. The BP568 also features independent volume keys for fine-tuning.
