1. BATTERIES
Remove the battery compartment cover by pushing it in
the direction of the arrow. Install two ‘AA’ batteries
according to the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked next to
the compartment. For easy removal, place the batteries on
top of the lift-out ribbon.
2. POWER ON/O , VOLUME
Turn the radio on by switching the power on/off switch
(11). Use the volume knob (21) to adjust the volume.
3. LISTENING TO M
Select the FM band by using the band selector switch (13).
Use the tuning knob (6) to tune the radio to the desired

to FM stereo, the FM ST. LED (5) will light. Note that the
frequency of the station appears in the display (3).
4. LISTEN TO AM or SW1-8
Select the desired band, AM or SW 1-8, by using the band
selector switch (13). Turn the tuning knob (6) to the
desired frequency which appears in the display (3) or just
tune around and listen for stations. Note that MW appears
in the display when AM is selected. That’s because the AM
band is called MW (for medium wave) in some parts of the
world. SW appears in the display when SW 1-8 is selected.
5. ANTENNA
A. For AM (MW) the radio uses an internal, directional,
ferrite bar antenna. Rotate the radio for best reception.
B. For FM/SW, fully extend the telescopic antenna (1). For
FM, rotate it for best reception.

SLEEP (10) button. This turns the radio on and 59 minutes

timer activation
symbol in the

of the LCD. This
symbol looks like
a little bed with a
person lying in it.
2. If 59 minutes is
OK for your needs,
release the SLEEP
button at this
point. If not,
proceed to the
next step.
3. While continuing to keep the SLEEP button pressed, use
the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to adjust the sleep time
for your needs. When finished, release the SLEEP button.
While it is playing in sleep mode, it can be turned off by
