VOLUME AND TONE CONTROLS

The volume control (14), labeled VOLUME, is located on the
left side of the radio. The tone control (17), on the right side
of the radio is labeled NEWS/MUSIC. Use the position that
you like best.

SELECTING FM, AM OR SHORTWAVE

Pressing the button labeled ‘FM/AM/SW Band’ (9), allows selec-
tion of FM,AM and SW (35). The frequency digits (34) appear in
the lower portion of the display. The local stations of your area
will be heard on AM and FM. International Shortwave stations
from around the world will be heard on SW.

NOTE: When the AM band is selected, the display shows
MW, not AM.

If you live outside of North America, see instructions on
page 14.

change the time from 90 minutes to a time of your prefer-
ence, use the + and – buttons (7, 8) immediately after press-

play time. The number of minutes that you last set are also
used the next time the radio is turned on.

the radio to stay on until deliberately turned off. Hold the
button down for about 2 seconds, then release. Note that
