Numeric keypad buttons #1-7 have dual functions, one function
with the radio turned off and another with the radio turned on.
These functions are described in the text.
With the optional AC adapter/charger connected, the G6 internally
recharges 2 Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) rechargeable batteries
(not included). Note that the G6 can still play while the batteries are
charging and the alarm functions will work.
To charge batteries:
1. With the G6 turned off, install 2 NI-MH batteries and connect
the AC adapter/charger.
2. Press the battery charge button (numeric keypad #7) for about 3
seconds, or until CHG appears in the upper right of the display.
3. Use the tuning knob to select the charging time in hours (00-36)
based on the mAh rating of your batteries: 11 hours for 1100
mAH rating; 23 hours for 2300 mAH rating; etc.
4. Press the PAGE/TIME button when finished. In the display, the
battery symbol’s segments continuously activate from left to right

MANUAL TUNING
Quick, short, sequential presses of the AUTO buttons enables
tuning up or down frequency. Alternately, the TUNING knob can be
used.
In Shortwave the tuning knob or manual tuning must be used to
tune out of the broadcast bands.
Turn on the G6. Use this method when the desired frequency of a
radio station is known. AM, LW and SW frequencies are entered in
kilohertz (KHz), e.g. 810 KHz, 162 KHz or 9475 KHz.; FM and Air
Band frequencies are entered in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz
or 124.870 MHz, ignoring the decimal point.
1. Use the numeric keypad buttons to enter the frequency.
2. Within 3 seconds, press the AM button if it’s an MW (AM), LW,
SW or AIR frequency, or the FM button for FM frequencies.
With the G6 on, auto-search tuning starts by pressing either of the
AUTO SEARCH buttons (AUTO ) for about 2 seconds. The G6
has 3 selectable auto-search modes: STOP, ATS or D-5. The factory
programmed default mode is STOP. These are described below.
STOP: Auto-searching stops on the next encountered station.
D-5: Auto-searching stops for 5 seconds on each encountered sta-
tion, then moves on.
ATS: (Auto Tuning Storage): Auto-searching automatically stores the
strongest FM local stations into memories starting with page
99 and counting downward until all are stored, e.g. 98, 97,
96, etc. Tune to the FM band and perform auto-search.

tuning in shortwave can only be done with the tuning knob and via
direct frequency entry.
To learn about shortwave we recommend the two publications
below, published yearly and available from major booksellers.
Additionally, the Internet is a great resource for learning about
shortwave. Go to your favorite search engine and type in ‘shortwave
listening’.

Shortwave enables listening to broadcasts over vast distances includ-
ing other countries and continents. The following information will
help you get the best results. Select appropriate SW meterbands
with the METERBAND button.
• During the day, frequencies above 11000 KHz are usually best.
• At night, frequencies below 13000 KHz are usually best.
• Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may be
good.
• Getting very close to a window and holding the radio improves
shortwave reception.
SSB enables listening to shortwave two-way communications using
the single-sideband mode, such as amateur radio, Morse code,
weather-fax transmissions and other signals often referred to as
‘utility’ signals. The Internet and your local library are great resources
to learn more.
