GLOBE TRAVELER G3 OWNER’S MANUAL
SETTING UP AM AND FM OUTSIDE OF
NORTH AMERICA
SELECTING LW, AM, FM, AIRCRAFT BAND
AND SHORTWAVE
The F1-7 buttons have dual functions when turned on and off, noted
on the diagram under the G3’s rear tilt ap. These functions are
described as necessary in this manual.
With its included AC adapter/charger connected, the G3 internally
recharges 4 Ni-MH (nickel-metal-hydride) rechargeable batteries
(not included). Note that the G3 can still play while the batteries are
charging; the alarm functions will work.
To charge batteries:
1. Connect the AC adapter/charger.
2. With the G3 turned off, install 4 NI-MH batteries and connect the
AC adapter/charger.
3. Press the F7 button for about 3 seconds, or until CHARGE 00
appears in the display.
4. 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. and press the PAGE/TIME
button when finished.
5. In the display, the battery symbol’s segments continuously activate
from left to right during charging. Battery charging terminates once
the set charge time has been reached.
Assure that it is powered with the AC adapter or batteries, that it is
unlocked and that the DX/LOCAL switch (left side panel) is in the DX
position (up).
To use the G3 in North America (U.S. or Canada), no changes to the
initial factory settings are needed.
In North America, AM stations are spaced by 10 KHz. In Europe and
other areas, they are spaced by 9 KHz. In North America, the FM band
begins at 87.5 MHz. In other parts of the world, it may begin at 76
MHz. Follow these steps to set this for your area:
1. With the G3 off, press the F5 button for about 3 seconds – ‘9’ or ‘10’
ashes in the display.
2. Use sequential F5 presses to select 9 or 10, then press the
‘PAGE/TIME’ button – the FM frequency ashes in the display.
3. Sequentially press the F5 button until the beginning FM frequency
of your area appears, then press PAGE/TIME.
With the G3 on or off, use the +-/VOL buttons or the numeric keypad
to adjust to volume levels 0-31. The level number appears in the display.
To adjust the volume with the numeric keypad, enter the desired
volume level and press either the + or – VOL button within 3 seconds.
Please note that in North America no Longwave (LW) stations
are broadcasting on this band and that you may hear broadcast
band images.
