Follow these steps to turn the radio on/
off, select a radio band and station/fre-
quency, and adjust the sound.
1. Turn VOLUME toward MIN until it
stops.
2. Set RADIO/P.A. to RADIO . (To use
the P.A. setting, see “Using the P.A.
(Public Address) Function” on Page
11.
3. Turn the band selector to the
band(s) you want to listen to.
4. If you selected any band other than
AM , SW1 or SW2 , fully extend the
telescoping antenna on top of the
radio.
If you selected SW1 or SW2 , connect
the supplied wire antenna to ANT on
the front of the radio. (See “Con-
necting the Wire Antenna” on Page
7.)
Note: The radio uses the attached
directional antenna (
DIRECTION
FINDER ) for AM band reception. The
position of the radio’s telescoping
antenna does not affect AM band
reception.
5. For reduced sound distortion and
drift-free FM reception, set AFC
(Automatic Frequency Control) to
ON.
6. Set POWER to ON to turn on the
radio.
7. Adjust VOLUME toward MAX to
increase the volume, or toward MIN
to decrease it.
8. Adjust TONE to get the sound you
like.
