The radio features an analogue tuning dial with clear frequency markings for both AM and FM bands. A 'Tune' indicator light illuminates when optimal reception is achieved. The integrated telescopic antenna ensures strong signal pickup, and the foldable carry handle provides easy transport.
Setup
- Charging the Battery: Before first use, fully charge the radio using the supplied Micro USB cable. Connect the Micro USB end to the radio's charging port and the USB-A end to a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port. The 'ON/CHARGE' indicator light will illuminate red during charging and turn off when fully charged. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours and provides up to 10 hours of playback.
- Extending the Antenna: For optimal reception, extend the telescopic antenna fully. For FM reception, the antenna should be extended vertically. For AM reception, the internal ferrite bar antenna is used, and rotating the radio may improve signal.
Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off and Band Selection: Locate the 'BAND' switch on the top of the radio. Slide it to 'FM' for FM radio, 'AM' for AM radio, or 'OFF' to power down the unit.
- Tuning to a Station: Rotate the 'TUNE' dial on the top right of the radio to scan for stations. The 'TUNE' indicator light (green) will glow brightest when you are accurately tuned to a strong station.
- Adjusting Volume: Use the 'VOL' dial on the right side of the radio to increase or decrease the volume.
- Using Headphones: For private listening, plug any standard 3.5mm headphones into the headphone jack located on the right side of the radio, below the volume dial. The internal speaker will automatically mute when headphones are connected.
