@ Radio On/Off Switch
Turns the receiver on and off.
@ Band Selector
Set to the desired band.
© Tuning Control
Tune in the desired station. This control features two-speed
tuning. For precise tuning
(particularly
on
SW),
pull
the
control out to reduce the tuning speed. To restore the normal
speed, push the control back in.
© Tuning Dial
® Digital Display Switch
Turns the Digital Frequency Counter@ on and off. For contin-
uous display, set the switch to ON (up); for temporary display,
presss the switch down.
Note: This switch should be at OFF to save the battery power
except when tuning.
@ Digital Frequency Counter
Indicates the tuned frequency in MHz on FM and SW bands,
and in kHz on LW and MW bands.
@ Tuning/Battery Indicator
Acts as tuning and battery check meter. When a station re-
ceived, the pointer deflects to the left showing
the relative
strength; the stronger the station's signal, the greater the de-
flection to the left. When no station is received, the meter in-
dicates the battery condition (see page 4).
@ Volume Control
Adjust to a pleasant listening level.
© Bandwidth Switch
If the reception of an AM
(LW, MW
and
SW) station
is
marred
by interference
from
an
adjacent
station,
set
the switch
to NARROW
(down).
Normaly,
keep
it at the
WIDE (up) position.
@ SW Calibrator
Functions for SW reception only. If the frequency
of a opti-
mally tuned station does not tally with the display
reading,
correct the error by turning this calibrator.
(For calibration,
see page 5).
@® RF Gain Control
:
Adjust the receiver
sensitivity for LW, MW
or SW reception.
Normally, keep it to the fully-clockwise position. If the station
is strong
enough
to cause
overloading
or distortion
in the
receiver, slowly rotate this control counterclockwise until the
sound becomes clear. This control has no effect on FM.
@® BFO Switch
Turns the BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) on and off. For SSB
or CW reception on SW, sei the switch to ON. When receiving
neither
SSB
nor
CW,
be sure
to keep the switch
at OFF.
(See page 5.)
:
® BFO Pitch Control
Used to receive SSB and CW signals. Properly tune to the de-
sired SSB or CW signals with the BFO Switch@ ON, then care-
fully
rotate
this
control
for
optimum
signal
reception.
(See page 5.)
® Treble Control
Regulates the high tone.
® Bass Control
Regulates the low tone.
® Light Switch
When tuning in the dark, push to ON. The Tuning/Battery In-
dicator@ and the Tuning Dial@ will light up. Turn
off when
illumination is not necessary.
@ Telescopic Antenna
Functions for FM and SW reception. Extend it and adjust its
angle and length for optimum reception.
Note: When lowering the Telescopic Antenna, always begin ~
with
the thickest
section
first to avoid
buckling
or
bending.
@® External Antenna Terminals
Effective for the FM and SW bands. If the desired station is too
weak
or too distant for the receiver to provide satisfactory
reception,
connect an appropriate
external antenna (and an
earth wire) to these terminals. (See page 6.)
® Earphone/External Speaker Jack
Used to connect the accessory earphone or optional external
speaker
(impedance:
8 ohms).
Inserting the plug into this
jack disconnects the built-in speaker. To store the earphone,
use the earphone storage pocket inside the battery compart-
ment.
@ Multiplex Output Jack
Used to connect an FM stereo multiplex adaptor for enjoyment
of FM stereo programs.
@ Recording Output Jack
Used to connect a tape recorder for recording radio programs.
Connect a suitable cord from this jack to the input terminal on
your tape recorder. You can record while listening to radio
programs
at the desired volume
level. The sound
level at
this jack is fixed and therefore the recording level should be
adjusted by using the control(s) on the tape recorder being
used. Stereo recording is not possible.
@ DIN Jack
Used to connect external audio equipment
(such as a tape
deck, record player, or amplifier) with a DIN connector.
@ Radio/Phono Selector
RADIO...Radio signals are fed out and they can be recorded
onto the tape deck or amplified with the amplifier connected
to the DIN Jack@.
PHONO...The
receiver functions as an amplifier and ampli-
fies the sound program from another unit (such as a record
player or tape deck) connected
to the DIN Jack@.
Note: To listen to the radio, set this selector to RADIO.
@ AC Voltage Selector (RF-2900LBS only)
Set to your local voltage by turning this selector with a screw-
driver. When operating on AC (household current), make sure
this selector is properly adjusted. (See page 4.)
@ AC Input Jack
To operate the unit on AC power, connect this jack to a house-
hold AC electrical outlet with the accessory AC power cord.
When
this
jack
is connected,
the
internal
batteries
are
automatically disconnected.
