Corman eure Power Switch ‘Turn the power on and ott, Dial Light Switch When tuning in the dark, depress this switch. The Tuning/Marker/Battery Indicator and Tuning Dial will be illuminated. Volume Control ‘Adjust the sound volume to the desired lev Bass Control ‘Adjust the bass tone. Treble Controt Adjust the treble tone. Band Selector Set to the desired band: FM, SW or AM. ‘SW Band Selector Select the desired frequency-range on SW. Band Indicators Shows, in red, the frequency-range selected with the Band Selector. Tuning Control ‘Adjust to the desired station. SW Band Spread Dial Divides the SW bands Into 10 kHz (0.010 MHz) Sogments for more accurate trequency reading ‘Tuning Speed Selector Two degrees of tuning speed are available: FAST position: for rapidly moving the Tuning Dial ‘SLOW position: for slowly moving the Tuning Dial (Fine Tuning) RF Gain Control ‘Adjust the receiver sensitivity for AM or SW (includ ing $88 and CW) reception. Normally keep it in the full-clockwise (HIGH) position. I received signals are too strong, slowly rotate this control counterclockwise until clear sound is obtained. This control has no effect on FM. Tuning Indicator Indicates the relative strength of signals tuned on the radio, and assists in obtaining the best rece tion. The stronger the station, the greater the otlaction to the let. It also acts as battery-checking indicator and crystal-marker indicator. FM AFC/Band Width Switch Has a combined function as an AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) switch on FM, and a band- width switch on AM and SW. Normally leave in 1¢ ON/WIDE position On FM, If you find it difficult to tune in @ parti- cular station because of a strong adjacent station, then switch off the AFC. | On AM and SW, if your received station is inter- fered with by another adjacent station, then ‘move the switch to OFF/NARROW position. BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) Switch Used to receive Continuous Wave (CW) or Single Side Band (SSB) signals. CW Is mostly used to Send Morse-code telegraph signals. SSB is used for commercial communications such as ship-to- shore and radio hams. Setting this switch in the ON position makes the low, indistinct telegraph-sound on CW a clear peep", and the characteristic “Donald Duck” ‘sound on SSB understandable. For CW reception, tune with the BFO “on”, rotating the Tuning Control Until a pleasant beat note is heard. For SSB recep- tion, turn on the BFO and carefully tune back and forth until the signal becomes understandabl NOTE: + The BFO Switch should be turned on only when receiving CW and SSB signals. + About-5-minute wait after turning the BFO ‘on assures fine reception of CW and SSB. Crystal Marker Switches Used to accurately calibrate the tuning dial for SW reception. 125 kHz Marker Switch...With this switch set in the ON position, a crystal-controlled marker signal is heard every 125 kHz (or 0.125 MHz) When notin use, be sure to leave in “OFF” po- sition; otherwise no stations can be received 1m 500 Kitz Marker Switch...While depressing and holding this switch, crystal marker signal wil be heard every 500 kHz (or 0.5 MH2), and the ‘SW Band Spread Dial will lock every 125 kHz. For dial calibration, see page 5. Gyro-Antenna Functions only for the AM reception. With this convenient antenna, you can obtain best ‘AM reception without changing the position of the receiver. Lift It up and slowly rotate for the strongest signal. Use the Tuning Indicator to assist In finding the best antenna direction. (See Fig. 6) NOTE: Do not use it as @ carrying handle.@))))))— |AM Station ‘sensitivity position Gyro-antenna, Fig. 6 Telescopic Antenna Functions for FM or SW reception, but has no effect ‘on AM. Extend it fully and set itn the best recep- tion position by rotating or tilting External Antenna/Ground Terminals 11 the builtin Telescopic Antenna and ferrite core Gyro-Antenna do not provide satisfactory recep- jon, or it you especially want to receive very weak or very distant SW-stations, connect an external antenna (and a ground system) to these terminal For detailed instructions, see page 5. Earphone/External Speaker Jack Used to connect the accessory earphone or op- onal ei esTpaepenrsnuprecance: 8 ohm) When the plug is inserted, the builtin speaker wil a not-in-use earphone, use the earphone storage pocket provided inside the battery compart- ment. REC OUT Jack Used to connect a tape recorder for recording rom the receiver. Connect the input terminal on your tape recorder to this Jack, You can record whi listening to radio programs at the desired volume level. The sound level at this jack is fixed and therefore the recording level should be adjusted using the control(s) on the tape recorder being used. Stereo recordings cannot be made. AC IN Jack ‘To operate the receiver on AC power, connect the accessory AC power cord to this jack and to a 120V AG electrical outlet. Whenever this jack is connected, internal batteries ‘automatically disconnected. HOW TO READ THE SW TUNING DIAL The Main Tuning Dial indicates the main digits) land one decimal point graduated to 0.5 MHz. The SW Spread Dial (kHz) indicates three decim: Points for fine tuning. Together the main digit(s) on the Main Tuning Dial and the three decimal points ‘on the SW Spread Dial total the value ofthe receiv- ed SW frequency. Example: Reading on the Main Tuning Dial T (M2) 10 |78 Reading on the SW Band Spread Dial (kHz) 115 | 560 [Receiving Frequency (MHz) | 7.115 | 7.560 NOTE: To obtain accurate reading of SW tre- quencies, it is necessary to calibrate the dial/pointer setting ‘The above photograph shows 7.180 MH2,
