1. TELESCOPIC ANTENNA
This is a 39 1/4“ (1.003 meters) telescopic antenna for
use on all bands except XM.

2. LIGHT
Pressing this key while the receiver is turned ON cycles
the display illumination through four brightness states;
Off, Dim, Medium and Bright.

When the receiver is in the OFF state and connected to
external power, the display, when lit, will be DIM.
Pressing the ‘LIGHT button will cycle the display illumina-
tion on and off with no time out.

If the unit is operating from batteries, the display will be
lit only briefly when the unit is turned OFF. If, when OFF,
the ‘LIGHT’ button is pressed once, the display will illumi-
nate for 10 seconds and then go out. In the ON state,
the display will be lit only briefly following control inputs.
However, holding down the LIGHT key for 3 seconds will
override the time out and allow the light to remain on
continuously when the receiver is ON. The user must keep
in mind, however that keeping the light on continuously
when operating on batteries will considerably reduce bat-
tery life. More details concerning display illumination can
be found on page 57 under “DISPLAY LIGHTING”.

3. SNOOZE / SLEEP

ing this bar will activate the SNOOZE mode, causing the
receiver to turn OFF for 5,10, 20, or 30 minutes, depend-
ing upon the setting of item 5 of the “CLOCK MODES”
menu. After the selected number of minutes have passed,
the receiver will turn back on.To cancel a SNOOZE period
early, cycle power OFF/ON with the ‘POWER’ key. When
SNOOZE mode is active, “SNOOZE” will appear on the
display.

When the receiver is OFF, other than in SNOOZE,pushing
this bar will activate the SLEEP timer. This will turn the
receiver ON for the default set time of 15 minutes, after
which it will turn back OFF. To change the set time length
from the default 15 minutes to 1 through 99 minutes,
turn the receiver OFF and rotate the ‘TUNING’ control
after pressing the SNOOZE / SLEEP bar. After setting the
desired SLEEP time, press the bar again to activate SLEEP
mode, or automatic entry will occur in 15 seconds. The
displayed time is always in minutes. When SLEEP mode is
active, a flashing “s XX” will appear in the lower left
hand corner of the display, where “XX” is a number indi-
cating the minutes of SLEEP time remaining.

through the available SW bands using the ‘TUNING’
knob or the ‘< SELECT >’ key. Each keypress or TUNING
input resets the two second timer. The frequency ranges
for the defined meter shortwave bands are as shown in
the ‘Shortwave Band Designators’ table which follows.
