Sangean SANGEAN ATS-808A - Manual (Page 24)

Using the LOCK switch prevents
unauthorized operation of the radio and will
also prevent the station you are listening to
from being changed. When the LOCK
switch is moved to its up position,
the POWER button ant TUNING controls
are completely disabled. If the radio is on
when the LOCK switch is moved to its up
position, you will not be able to turn it
off. If the radio is off, with the LOCK
switch in its up position, you will
not be able to turn it on. This will also
prevent it from being turned on by
accident, when packed in a suitcase
or attache case. To release the LOCK
switch, simply move the switch down.
To obtain optimum performance from this unit,
especially when listening to SW an external
antenna should be used to the EXTERNAL AN-
TENNA ADAPTER and then plugged into
the EXTERNAL ANTENNA jack located on
the left side of the radio.
Located on the right side of the unit, just
beneath the ROTARY TUNING knob is a
switch marked, MW STEP: 9K/10K. This
switch selects the incremental frequency
STEPS for the MW band, depending upon
your geographic location. In the USA, 10K
STEPS are used, so the switch should be
set to its lowest position. In other parts of
the world where they use 9K STEPS, move
the switch to the uppermost position.
