Traveler II Digital G8 OWNER’S MANUAL
VOLUME
Use the volume knob, on the right side, to adjust the volume.
LISTENING TO FM, AM, LW (Longwave) or SW
Select the FM, AM, LW or SW band by pressing the FM, AM/LW, or \/ SW
/\ buttons . AM is shown as MW (medium wave). Use the TUNING knob to
tune the radio to the desired frequency, or press \/ /\ buttons to search for
the next available station. Each station will play for 5s before searching for
the next available station. Press any key to stay on your favor station.
If you are using an earphone to listen to FM-stereo, the FM-stereo symbol
will appear under FM on the left side of the display. This only appears when
earphones are plugged in.
NOTE: Longwave is not used for broadcasting in the United States and
Canada. It is used in the United Kingdom and in Europe. If you hear stations
in the Longwave band, they may be ‘images’ of AM stations.
LISTENING TO SHORTWAVE
Each short press of the \/ SW /\ buttons takes the radio into a different
shortwave meter band (frequency range).. The band number appears briey
in the upper right corner of the display. After you’re in a band, use the
TUNING knob to tune, or press and hold the \/ SW /\ buttons for 2 seconds
to tune or to engage the 5 second scan. To stop the 5 second scan, press on
any buttons again or slightly rotate the tuning knob. Notice that when you
use the \/ SW /\ buttons to scan, the radio scans in 5 KHz steps. This is OK,
because shortwave broadcast stations are exactly 5 KHz apart. The tuning
knob tunes in 1 KHz steps. While using these buttons the band number
appears in the display.
Shortwave allows listening to stations from around the world. During the
day, listen above 13 MHz. At night, listen below 13 MHz. To learn more use
