2. Repeatedly press (or hold down) TUNING H to set the hour.
3. Repeatedly press (or hold down) TUNING G to set the minute.

To listen to your radio using the built-in speaker, make sure the SPK./PHONES is set to SPK. For
the best reception while using the built-in speaker, connect the supplied antenna (see Using the
TV/FM/WX Antenna). Or, you can use a pair of stereo earphones or headphones (not supplied)
with an 1/8-inch (3.5mm) plug to listen to your radio.
1. Insert the earphones' or headphones' plug into your radio's Vjack.
2. Set SPK./PHONES to PHONES.
Notes:
• The built-in speaker disconnects when you set SPK./PHONES to PHONES. The phones' cord acts as an
antenna.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, set the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended high-volume listening can lead to permanent
hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume, so a volume level that
does not cause discomfort may still damage your hearing.
