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.
Position 10 kHz for the Americas
– MW tuning step 10 kHz;
Position 9 kHz for the the rest of the
world
– MW tuning step 9 kHz;
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.
