Operating Instructions

1. Turn On/Off the Radio and Adjust Volume

• To turn on: Push the VOLUME switch (5) clockwise until you hear a "click" sound. The power indicator light will illuminate.
• To turn off: Push the VOLUME switch (5) counter-clockwise until you hear a "click" sound. The power indicator light will turn off.
• To adjust volume: Rotate the VOLUME switch (5) clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease volume.

2. Band Selection

• Use the Band Switch (1) located on the side of the radio to select your desired frequency band: FM1, FM2, MW, or SW.

3. Antenna Usage

• For FM1, FM2, and SW bands: Fully extend the telescopic antenna (3). Rotate the radio body 360° to find the clearest and loudest reception angle.
• For MW band: The radio uses a built-in magnetic rod antenna. Rotate the entire radio body 360° to find the angle where the radio signal is clearest and loudest.

4. Tuning

• Rotate the Tuning Dial (4) back and forth to scan for stations.
• Tune slowly when you find a station to avoid missing it or losing the signal.

5. Headphone Use

• To listen privately, plug standard 3.5mm headphones into the Headphone Jack (2). The built-in speaker will automatically mute.

6. Using the Integrated Kickstand

User Tips

• DSP Technology: The radio utilizes DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, which contributes to its high sensitivity and clear sound quality, especially on FM and AM bands.
• AM/SW Reception: For optimal reception on AM (Medium Wave) and SW (Shortwave) bands, it is often beneficial to listen during nighttime hours when atmospheric conditions are more favorable for long-distance signal propagation.
• Tuning Precision: The tuning wheel can be quite selective. Take your time and make small adjustments to precisely locate and lock onto desired stations.
