IMPORTANT (Please read before use)
SW Memories
The ATS-909X is supplied with 39 pages of SW memory
pre-programmed. Not all of the stations pre-programmed
into the memories will be receivable, some will only be
receivable at certain times of the day.
When selecting a page of memory the ATS-909X will scan
and select the memory preset for the strongest station.
At certain times the strongest station may not be from the
country / station of the page selected.
This happens for example when say the BBC world service
is not transmitting on one of their frequencies at a particular
time - the frequency then becomes available to another
broadcaster. If this should occur simply press one of the
preset buttons 1-9 until the desired station is received.
NOTE
Due to the constantly changing frequencies and
transmission times used on shortwave the user should
contact the relevant broadcasting station for the most
up to date information regarding transmission times and
frequencies.
POWER SUPPLY
The ATS-909X operates on 4xUM-3 (AA Size) batteries. If
an external adapter is used it must be capable of providing
9.0V AC, 700mA with center connector negative.
CHANGING BATTERIES
Press and remove battery cover in the direction indicated
by the arrow on the cover. Insert 4xUM-3 (AA Size)
batteries with polarities exactly as shown on diagram
inside the battery compartment. Slide battery cover back
into place in direction of arrow until case snaps into place.
Each time the ATS-909X is turned on the battery level
indicator will remain. Batteries should be replaced when
battery level drops or the level indicator flashes.
Batteries must be replaced within 3 minutes to retain
clock display. (Input memory will remain intact even during
power failure because receiver is equipped with EEPROM
memory).
NOTE
If you use non-rechargeable batteries, before inserting
the batteries make sure the Alkaline (Batteries) or
NIMH / NICAD (Charger) switch (which is located inside
the battery compartment) is switched to the Alkaline

make sure to switch NIMH / NICAD / Alkaline switch to

You may make sure to have the same capacity of the
rechargeable batteries, and then they can be balanced to
