Setup
Powering the Radio
The Watson TR 4328 can be powered using batteries or an AC adapter (sold separately, if applicable).
Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the rear of the radio.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert the required number of batteries (e.g., 4 x AA batteries), ensuring correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
AC Power (if applicable)
- Connect the AC adapter (not included) to the DC input jack on the radio.
- Plug the AC adapter into a standard wall outlet.
Antenna Adjustment
For optimal FM and Shortwave reception, extend the telescopic antenna fully and adjust its angle. For AM (MW/LW) reception, the radio utilizes an internal ferrite bar antenna; rotating the radio itself may improve signal strength.
Operating Instructions
Turning On/Off
Press the POWER button, usually located on the side or top of the radio, to turn the unit on or off.
Tuning to a Station
- Press the BAND button repeatedly to select the desired frequency band (FM, MW, LW, SW). The selected band will typically be displayed on the screen.
- Use the TUNING dial or UP/DOWN buttons to scan for stations. The frequency will be displayed on the digital screen.
- For FM stereo reception, ensure the STEREO indicator is lit (if available). If reception is poor, switch to mono mode for clearer audio.
Volume Control
Adjust the VOLUME knob or +/- buttons to set the desired listening level.
Setting Presets (if applicable)
If your model supports station presets:
- Tune to the desired station using the tuning method described above.
- Press and hold a preset number button (e.g., 1, 2, 3) for a few seconds until the display confirms the station is saved.
- To recall a saved station, simply press the corresponding preset number button briefly.
Clock and Alarm Functions (if applicable)
Some models may include a digital clock and alarm. Refer to specific buttons such as TIME SET, ALARM SET, or MODE to configure these features. Consult the on-screen prompts for guidance.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the radio's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong detergents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
Battery Care
- Remove batteries if the radio will not be used for an extended period to prevent potential leakage and damage.
- Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type and brand.
Storage
Store the radio in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the radio.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Power | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted; AC adapter not connected or faulty. | Replace batteries, check polarity; ensure AC adapter is securely plugged in and functional. |
| Poor Reception / Static | Antenna not extended; weak signal; interference from other electronic devices. | Extend telescopic antenna fully; rotate radio for better AM/MW/LW signal; move away from electronic devices (e.g., computers, TVs) causing interference. |
| No Sound | Volume too low; headphones connected; mute function activated. | Increase volume; disconnect headphones if sound is desired from speaker; check for a mute button. |
| Display Not Working | Low battery power; internal fault. | Replace batteries; if problem persists, contact customer support. |
