SW2-8 Antenna Terminals
For SW2-S reception, connect an external SW antenna (and a
ground system) to these terminals. Unless this connection is
performed, there will be no reception.
G)
Coaxial-Cable Antenna Jack
Provided only for SW2-S reception.
Connect the coaxial cable from an external SW antenna to
the accessory plug, then insert the plug into this jack.
~
DC Input Jack
Connects to any external 12-volt, DC source.
When the connection is made, the internal batteries a,re auto-
matically disconnected.
Note: For the use of any external DC source, be sure to un-
plug the AC power cord from the receiver. (See page 4.)
~
AC Input Jack
To operate on AC, connect the accessory AC power cord
between this jack and your household AC electrical outlet.
When the plug is inserted in this jack, both the internal bat-
teries and external DC source are automatically disconnected.
RECEIVER OPERATION
Your new Panasonic radio receiver RF-4S00 should be ope-
rated as any standard radio. However, to obtain the best perfor-
mance and take advantage of some of the high performance
features of the set, we suggest you read the following operating
hints.

To reduce interferences:
•

•
Turn the AM RF Gain

interfering station disappears.
•
Reposition the back-equipped ferrite-core antenna so that the
interference is minimal.

the desired station is closely adjacent to a stronger
station, the AFC mall tune the receiver to the strong station. At
such times, tune in the desired station with the FM AFC Switchfj
in the OFF (down) position.

To correct any frequency-display error:
1. Tune to any already-known frequency on SW2-S, and make
sure the correct frequency is displayed.
2. Watch the Tuning Indicator0 while slowly turning the SW2-S
Calibrater(@ with the Indicator Switch@) at SIGNAL.
When the meter pointer deflects to the extreme right, the
best-tuned frequency strictly accords with the display.
Note:
*
At the "WWV" positions on the SW2-S Tuning Scalea.,
the 5.000, 10.000, and 15.000 MHz standard-frequency
signals would be received, and those signals may
helpfully be used for the error correction.
*
If the Tuning Indicator0 is difficult to read because of too
strong signals, turn the AM RF Gain
Control~
counter-
clockwise to decrease the receiver sensitivity.
*
Changing to another band may require readjusting of the
SW2-S Calibrater(@.
To reduce interference.s:
•
Set the Band Width Switchfj to NARROW (down), and retune.
•
Rotate the AM RF Gain
Control~
counterclockwise until the
interfering station disappears.
To decrease background noise:
•
Adjust the Antenna
Trimmer~.
•
Turn the Treble ControlGi) counterclockwise.
•
Make sure the antenna and ground are properly connected.
•
Try the AM ANL Switch8.
