Setup

Powering the Radio

Your radio can be powered by either AC electricity or batteries.

1. AC Power: Connect the provided AC power cord to the 'AC IN' socket on the back of the radio (refer to Image 3). Plug the other end into a standard 220V wall outlet.
2. Battery Power: Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the radio. Insert the required number of batteries (type and quantity typically specified inside the compartment or in the included manual) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment cover securely.

Antenna Adjustment

For optimal reception, extend the telescopic antenna fully when listening to FM stations. For AM reception, the radio uses an integrated AM antenna, and you may need to rotate the entire unit for best signal.

Operating Instructions

Turning On/Off

Locate the power button, typically integrated with the volume knob or a separate button. Turn the radio on by pressing or rotating this control. To turn off, repeat the action.

Tuning AM/FM Stations

2. Tune Station: Rotate the 'TUNING' knob (refer to Image 1) to scan for stations. The digital display will show the current frequency. Stop rotating when you find your desired station.
