AM RF Gain
The AM RF GAIN control affects signal
strength for SW reception. If the signal
is weak, turn
AM RF GAIN toward MAX .
If the sound is distorted, turn AM RF
GAIN toward MIN .
BFO Switch and BFO Dial
Some SW and LW stations transmit in
Morse Code using a form of transmis-
sion called continuous wave (CW).
Some SW stations use a special type
of voice transmission called single
sideband (SSB).
To tune to a CW or SSB station, select
the band and frequency and adjust the
antenna. In addition, set the
BFO
switch to ON . Then, beginning at its
midpoint, slowly adjust the BFO dial
until the reception becomes clear.
For the FM and MW bands and for SW
stations that do not transmit in SSB or
CW, set the
BFO switch to OFF . The
BFO dial has no effect when the BFO
switch is set to OFF .
Tone
In all bands, adjust TONE for the best
sound.
Silencing the Alarm
When the display shows the alarm
time, the radio turns on or the buzzer
sounds and
flashes on the dis-
play.
After several seconds, the buzzer’s
volume increases. After a few more
seconds, the volume increases again.
The buzzer automatically stops or the
receiver automatically turns off after 60
minutes. To silence the alarm sooner,
press
RADIO POWER . The flashing
disappears and the alarm sounds
again the next day at the set time.
Turning the Alarm Off/On
To turn off the alarm so it does not
sound again, press
STANDBY . While
STANDBY flashes, press C .
