SETTING UP FOR DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD
If you purchased the radio in the United States or Canada and live there,
no changes are necessary to the radio. If you live somewhere else, use the
instructions below.
Medium wave (AM) station spacing
In the United States and Canada all medium wave stations are spaced 10
KHz apart, but in other parts of the world they’re 9 KHz apart. If you need to
change it, do the following.
With the radio off, press the button labeled 9/10k for two seconds. In the
lower right corner of the display you’ll see 9 KHz or 10 KHz in the display;
then wait for a few seconds to confirm and the display to show the time of
day.
Turning Longwave on/off
It is not necessary to perform this procedure. Long wave can be heard in
Europe and the United Kingdom, but is not used the Untied States and
Canada. To make Longwave not selectable when the MW/LW button is
pressed; turn the radio off and press the MW/LW button for about two
seconds. On or off appears in the display. Wait for the time to appear in the
display to confirm it.
Changing the FM start frequency
In the United States and Canada the FM start frequency is 87 MHz, but in
other parts of the world it starts at 64 or 76 KHz. To change the FM start
frequency turn the radio off and press the FM SET button for two seconds.
Whichever start frequency appears in the display is used. To change it, press
the FM SET button again for two seconds.
POWER ON/OFF and SLEEP TIMER
Turn the radio on with the POWER button, in the front, upper right corner of
the radio. A quick short press to turn on the sleep timer, and the sleep timer
symbol appears in the upper left corner of the display. To select a different
time, rotate the tuning knobs to select 120, 90, 75, 60, 45, 30, 15, 10, 05,
01minutes.
To defeat the sleep timer, simply rotate the tuning knob until “ON” appears
in the display.
It’s normal for the display to become lit for a few seconds every time that a
button is pressed.
