FM STEREO INDICATOR LIGHT
The STEREO INDICATOR will light when you are tuned to an FM
station broadcasting in stereo. (Mono broadcasts will be received
in mono.)
NOTE: If FM stereo reception is poor, set BAND switch to FM
(mono) position. This reduces noise, but the station will not be
heard in stereo.
BUILT-IN AFC
The Automatic Frequency Control works only on FM. It helps to
keep the radio locked on the station to which it is tuned.
When tuning in stations, you may notice that often the FM station
you desire can be heard on two or three nearby points on the dial.
Always tune carefully to the loudest and clearest point.

GRAPHIC EQUALIZER I
The 3 slide controls permit you to tailor the bass, mid-range and
treble frequencies to your listening preference.
Moving the control above zero, emphasizes the frequency
response; moving it below zero, de-emphasizes the frequency
response.
BASS BOOST SWITCH
When operating your unit at a low-volume level, some of the bass
frequencies may not be discernible. To give a boost to these fre-
quencies and enhance your low-volume listening enjoyment, a
bass circuit has been added to your unit.
When listening to music or whenever maximum audio fidelity is
desired, switch the BASS BOOST control to ON to bring out the
bass frequencies.
ANTENNAS ARE IMPORTANT
AM Antenna - The AM antenna, built into the unit, is somewhat
directional. On weak stations, it may be necessary to rotate the unit
for best reception. (The whip antenna is not used for AM reception.)
FM Antenna - Lift and extend the telescoping whip antenna. It
may be necessary to adjust the length and direction of the anten-
na for best FM reception.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the whip antenna, always lower the
antenna one section at a time, starting wjth the largest diameter
section. Do not push down from the top of the antenna since buckt-
ing or bending is possible.
