MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS

In addition to the standard tuning methods described previously, use following controls for special operations.

MONO LOCAL/STEREO DX SWITCH

1.When listening to FM stereo broadcasting and
using earphones, set the switch to STEREO
position to enjoy stereo programs.

2.When listening to AM (MW/LW/SW) broad-

casting, this switch adjusts the receiver's sensitivi-
ty. When you listen to a strong station and the
signal is slightly distored, set the switch to the
LOCAL position for best reception. For normal
or weak stations, set the switch to the DX
position for maximum sensitivity.

58
HEADPHONE USE
While not a control, you may consider using Head-
phones to obtain the best audio clarity when listen-
ing to SW. Since many SW stations broadcast only
marginal signals, using Headphones will enable you
to distinguish between the signal and the noise usually AM EXT
ANT

encountered at night. Be sure that, the Headphones

terminate in a 1/8 inch plug, which is inserted into the FM
STEREO
AM
SENS
DX

Headphones jack located on the side of the radio,

marked with the symbol " " . When the Head - MONO LOVAL

phones are plugged in, the speaker is muted.

DC I N 4.5V

Because the radio is capable of receiving FM stereo,

the Headphones should be stereo so that your
listening will be enhanced, When listening to stereo
FM, be sure that the FM STEREO/MONO switch is set
to the stereo position. This switch is located on the side
of the radio.
59
LOCK SWITCH
Using the LOCK switch prevents unauthorized opera-
tion 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/SLEEP button and all tun ing control buttons.
are completely disabled. If the radio is on, you will not
be able to turn it off. This will also prevent it from
being turned on by accidient when packed in a
suitcase or carrying pouch. If the LOCK stitch is on,
display will show " ' . To release the LOCK
switch, simply move the switch down.
EXTERNAL ANTENNA USE
To obtain optimum performance from this radio,
especially when listening to SW, an external antenna AM EXT
ANT

should be used, if at all possible. The antenna is

connected to the External Antenna Adaptor and then
plugged into the AM EXT ANT Jack located on the
side of the radio.

60
MW STEP SELECTOR SWITCH
Located in the battery compartment of the radio, MW
step 9K/10k switch provides means to select the
incremental frequency steps for MW band, depending
upon your geographic location. In the USA or
CANADA, 10K steps are used so the switch should be
set to 10K position. In the other parts of the world
where they use 9K steps, move the switch to the 9K
Position.
PORTABLE SHORTWAVE ANTENNA (OPTIONAL)
Depending on the selling areas, some of these radios 1
3

may include a PORTABLE SHORTWAVE ANTENNA

as a standard accessory to this radio. Move out the
connector and connect to the AM EXTERNAL
ANTENNA JACK of the radio. This PORTABLE
SHORTWAVE ANTENNA provides a 7 Meters wire
antenna, serving as extention to the Telescopic Anten-
na, so that you won't have to listen to SW broadcasting
near the window.
