FM and SW, not MW.
For best reception,
extend
the
Telescopic Antenna completely
and position
it
in the
direction
which provides
the
optimum
reception.
@ Digital frequency
Display (FREOUENCY DISPLAY)
lndicates the tuned frequency
as follows:
FM
. .
.
a
decimal figure
in
MHz (105.9)
MW
. . . a
three or four digit tigure
in
kHz (1200)
SW
.
.
.
a
decimal figure
in
MHz (15.0)
O
BFO
On/Off Switch
(BFO)
It
turns the BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator)
on and off. For SSB
or CW reception on SW,
set
the switch to
"ON".
When receiving
neither SSB nor CW,
be sure to set the switch to
"OFF".
@ Battery Compartment

to "ON",
and then carefully
rotate this control
until
the
signals
are the most suitable.
I
RF
Gain Control
(Mw
Sw
RF GA|N)
Effective on MW and SW, not
FM.
It adiusts the receiver sensitivity for
MW or SW (including SSB
and
CW) reception. Normally, keep
it
turned fully
clockwise
(MAX). lf
the
received station is sufficiently strong
to
cause
overloading or
distortion
in
the receiver, slowly rotate this control
counterclockwise
until clear sound is obtained.

receiving an MW
or
SW station, the upper scale operates
as a

When receiving
an FM station, the lower scale operates as
a
Tuning
Meter.
@
Power lndicator
(POWER)
This indicator lights when the set
is
turned
on.
@ Bandwidth
Selector (BANDWIDTH)
Effective on MW and SW, not
FM.
Normally,
set
it to "W|DE".
Set
it to
"NARROW"
when
experiencing excessive
noise, or interference from an adiacent
. station.
@ Recording Output
Jack (REC OUT)
When
used with the
appropriate connection cord,
broadcasts
can be recorded onto
a
tape recorder.

(
F
3
IMP
SOONLY)
Used
for the
connection

or
an
8f)
external
speaker.
@ Antenna Selector
Ef
fective on
MW
and SW,
not FM. Use the selector
to
switch from
the built-in to
an
external antenna
on
MW,
or
from
a
low to a
high
impedance antenna on
SW.
ln
the "LOW
lMP"
position, the
Telescopic Antenna
is
disconnected.
@
External Antenna Terminats
Effective on MW,
SW
and FM.
lf
the desired station
is
too
weak or
too
distant for the
receiver to provide satisfactory
reception,
connect an appropriate external antenna (and
a
ground wire) to
these terminals.
