Operating Instructions
Basic Operation:
- Power On/Off: The volume knob typically doubles as the power switch. Rotate it clockwise to turn the radio on and counter-clockwise until it clicks to turn it off.
- Adjusting Volume: Rotate the volume knob to increase or decrease the audio output.
- Selecting a Band: Use the band selector switch (located on the side or back, as shown in Figure 2) to choose your desired frequency band:
- FM: For local FM radio stations (88-108 MHz).
- MW (Medium Wave): For AM radio stations (550-1650 KHz).
- SW (Short Wave): For international and long-distance broadcasts (various MHz ranges).
- TV1/TV2: For specific TV audio broadcasts (various MHz ranges).
- Tuning to a Station:
- Extend the telescopic antenna fully for optimal reception, especially for FM and SW bands.
- Slowly rotate the tuning dial until you hear a clear broadcast.
- Adjust the antenna position and length for the best signal clarity.
Optimizing Reception:
- For FM and Shortwave, extend the telescopic antenna.
- For Medium Wave (AM), the radio uses an internal ferrite bar antenna. Rotate the radio unit itself for best reception.
- Avoid placing the radio near large metal objects, electronic devices, or concrete walls, which can interfere with reception.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the radio. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove batteries to prevent leakage and store the radio in a cool, dry place.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the sound becomes distorted or the volume decreases significantly.
- Antenna Care: Handle the telescopic antenna gently to avoid bending or breaking.
