3. Tuning to a Station
Once the desired band is selected, slowly rotate the tuning dial to scan through available frequencies. The frequency scale on the front of the radio will indicate the current tuning position. Stop when you hear a clear broadcast.
4. Volume Control
Adjust the volume by rotating the volume dial (often integrated with the power switch) to your preferred listening level.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
- Wipe the radio's exterior with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
2. Battery Care
- Replace batteries when the sound becomes weak or distorted.
- Remove batteries if the radio will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage and damage.
3. Storage
Store the radio in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Avoid dropping or subjecting the radio to strong impacts.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
