Setup

Powering the Radio

The Greadio GR-T26 radio offers two power options:

1. AC Power: Connect the included AC power cord to the radio's AC input port and plug the other end into a standard wall outlet. This allows for continuous operation.
2. Battery Power: For portable use, insert four (4) D Cell batteries (not included) into the battery compartment located on the back of the radio. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.

Important: When using AC power, it is recommended to remove the D Cell batteries to prevent potential short-circuiting and damage to the radio.

Operating Instructions

Turning On/Off and Volume Control

• To turn the radio on, rotate the VOLUME knob clockwise from the "OFF" position. The LCD display will illuminate.
• Continue rotating the VOLUME knob clockwise to increase the sound level. Rotate counter-clockwise to decrease the sound level.
• To turn the radio off, rotate the VOLUME knob counter-clockwise until it clicks into the "OFF" position.

Selecting Radio Band (AM/FM/SW)

Use the RADIO selector switch on the front panel to choose your desired frequency band:

• AM: Amplitude Modulation band.
• FM: Frequency Modulation band.
• SW: Shortwave band.

Tuning to a Station

Once a band is selected:

• Slowly rotate the TUNING knob (located on the right side of the radio) to scan through frequencies.
• The current frequency will be displayed on the LCD screen.
• Extend the telescopic antenna fully for optimal FM and SW reception. For AM, the internal antenna is generally sufficient, but rotating the radio may improve reception.
