Radio Operation
• Switch on and off with the ON/OFF switch
• Adjust the volume with the control VOLUME.
• The tone can be adjusted with the TONE control.
Aerials
– The telescopic aerial is intended for receiving FM
(VHF) stations.
• The aerial should be fully extended, then swivelled
and rotated until best results are achieved.
– For receiving MW and LW stations there is a ferrite
rod aerial inside the set.
• The best position for receiving a station should be
found by rotating the set about its vertical axis.
Wavebands
• Select the waveband with the switch FM/MW/LW.
The selected waveband is shown on the display.
On FM (VHF) the frequency is shown in MHz, and
on MW (mediumwave) and LW (longwave) in kHz.
FM 87.5 - 108.0 MHz
MW 522 - 1620 kHz
LW 144 - 281 kHz
Sensitivity Switch (LOCAL/DIST)
• Normally this switch should be set to the DIST
position = remote stations.
• If the signal received is too strong (distortions), set
the switch to LOCAL = nearby stations.
The switch functions only on FM reception.
Last Station Memory Function
The frequency of the last station tuned to before
switching off the set will be stored in the memory.
When the radio is switched on again it will receive
this station in the respective waveband.
When changing the waveband, the last station tuned
to in each waveband will also be stored in the
memory.

RADIO OPERATION
Tuning to Stations
• Select the waveband with the switch FM/MW/LW.
• Start the station search with the + button (in the
direction of higher frequencies) or with the – button
(in the direction of lower frequencies):
– Pressing briefly = tuning in steps,
– pressing longer = tuning automatically.
– The tuning steps are 50kHz in the case of FM, 9
kHz in the case of MW and 1kHz in the case of LW.
• As a result of poor reception conditions during
automatic station search the station received may
not optimally be tuned to. In this case briefly press
the + or – button once or twice until the station is
correctly tuned to.
– If the tuned station contains the RDS (Radio Data
System) information, the
on the display and after a short time you will see
the station name instead of the frequency. The RDS
feature is available on the FM band only.
Note: When the battery voltage decreases, the
automatic station search may function incorrectly. In
this case, change the batteries.
Display mode
After tuning to an RDS station, the display indicates its
frequency for 1.5 seconds and then the station name
continuously.
• To display the time, press the DISPLAY button once.
• To briefly display the station name again, briefly
press the + or – button once.
• To display the station name continuously, press the
DISPLAY button again.
– If the station is not transmitting an RDS signal or if
the signal is too weak, the frequency will be
displayed instead of the station name.
