RADIO RECEPTION
AM STEP selector (MW)
The minimum 'frequency distance' (span division) between
adjacent radio stations (measured in kHz) is standardized all
over the world.
However, North and South America use another standard than
the rest of the world.
This means that the radio should use a tuning step according to
the standard concerned in order to obtain accurate radio
tuning.
The AM STEP switch (in the battery compartment) allows
accurate tuning for both standards.

Aerials
• For FM reception extend the telescopic aerial fully. To
improve the reception you can incline and rotate the aerial.
If the FM signal received is too strong (in the direct vicinity
of the transmitter) you can retract the aerial.
• For the medium wave (MW), the set has a built-in aerial, so
the telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct the aerial
by turning the set itself.
• For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic aerial
and position it vertically.

RADIO RECEPTION

Tuning to a station

There are three possibilities for tuning in to a station:
– Automatically - the stations are sought automatically.
– Manually - This is easy if the frequency of the station is
already known (e.g. from your radio and television guide).
– Directly - The easiest way to obtain a station if its frequency
is already known.
Automatic tuning
• Keep 3 or 4 (
or

desired frequency.
• Then briefly press the other button (3/4); tuning will stop.
• Then press 3 or 4 repeatedly until you reach the desired
frequency.
Direct selection
• When POWER is switched ON, press FREQ..
– The frequency disappears from the display.
• You can now enter the station's frequency with the 1...0 keys.
