POWER SUPPLY
This TVm-Way portable radio operates on AC Household power or 6 “D” size
batteries with-automatic AC/DC “witching, The batteries (noi included with radio),
and power cord are housed in a compartment on the back of the radio.
BATTERY OPERATION
1.
2.
3.
4.
Gently place the radio on its front with the bottom facing you.
Remove the battery/cord storage compartment door by releasing the three
compartment door latches, then swing door toward you and off.
Insert the 6 “D” size batteries into the compartment as indicated on the panel
inside the compartment. Be sure the + (cap) end of each battery is installed
in t he direction shown in the battery outline. Insert’ ‘bottom row” of batteries
first, then slide the “top row” under the BATTERY STRAP from the left side
of
6 “D” SIZE
BAITERIES
Replace the compartment door by first placing the bottom securing tabs into
their receptacles; then swing
doo} into positi& and press until th;three lat-
ches “snap” into place.
NOTE. After a portable radio has been used extensively in battery operation,
the qualify of the sound may deteriorate or the loudness may decrease.
When this happens, the very first thing to suspect is rundown batteries.
Further confirmation that the batteries are run down can be made by
changing to AC tine cord operation. If the sound quality improves the
batteries are run down and should be replaced with new batteries.
Your SUPERRADIO offers exceptional battery life with standard “D” size bat-
teries. Alkaline batteries, although more expensive, offer increased battery life
over standard cells.
IMPORTANT
Since few batteries are actually “leakproof”, always remove batteries, (even if
new) when storing product unused for over 30 days or using AC continually. For
shorter periods of AC operation (up to 30 days) batteries may remain in product.
Always remove worn-out batteries as they may leak chemicals which
will damage
the electronic components and cabinet. When discarding baUeries, be sure to
dispose of them in the proper manner, according to your state and local
regulations.
120-VOLT AC OPERATION
Remove &wer cord from COrTptirWIt and plug into any 120-volt AC household
outlet. An opening in the compartment door
has been provided to permit AC
operation with the door in place. Your radio will automatically convert from bat-
tery to AC operation. When finished using radio on AC, be sure to Switch POWER
ON-OFF switch to OFF. Removing plug from household outlet without switching
radio to OFF will automatically revert operation to battery power.

level and tone.
To turn radio off, press the POWER ON-OFF switch again.
AM BAND
AM Band radio stations are assigned broadcast frequencies between 540 and
1700 Kilohertz (KHz). AM transmissions leave the antenna in two types of radio
waves - ground waves and sky waves. Ground waves stay close to the ground
and can be picked up by receivers in the local area. Sky waves go into the sky
and pass thru the ionosphere into
outer space. Some sky waves have a tenden-
cy to “bounce” back from the ionosphere (especially during the evening hours)
and can be picked up by distant receivers.

.

wIDE BAND
TfliS “AM ACCENT” switch allows:
s Maximum selectivity of adjacent stations in the NORMAL position.
. Improved audio fidelity of
strong local stations when in the WIDE positon,
NOTE: In the WIDE position, you may encounter beat and whistle noises due
to adjacent-channel stations in the AM band. This problem maybe par-
ticularly noticeable during nighttime reception. If this occurs, switch to
NORMAL positon.
FM BAND
FM Band radio stations broadcast on assigned frequencies between 88 and 108
Megahertz (MHz), FM broadcasts are higher frequencies and offer less static
and interference from outside sources as well as greater audio fidelity than AM
broadcasts. Range, however, is not as great as AM because very little, if any,
sky-wave reception is involved at FM frequency range.
AFC (Automatic Frequency Control)
Automatic Frequency Conrol (AFC) works to assure drift-free FM reception and
helps to keep the radio locked-in on
the station to which it is tuned. AFC works
only on FM, it does not affect the AM operation. Tune to the desired FM station
with the AFC SELECT switch in ON position.
Under certain conditions, you may not wish to use the AFC. When the desired
station frequency is adjacent to a stronger station, the Automatic Frequency Con-
trol may tune the set to the stronger station. If this occurs, tune in the desired
station with the AFC switch in OFF position. Should switching to ON cause the
set to detune to the stronger adjacent station, simply leave the AFC SELECT
switch in OFF position.
BASS/TREBLE CONTROLS
The BASS control enable you to increase or decrease the relative volume of the
low-pitched (bass) sounds from the normal (or “flat”) control setting.
The TREBLE control enables you to increase or decrease the relative volume
of the high pitched (Treble) sounds from the normal (or “flat”) control setting.
NOTE: These Tone Controls have a large built-in variation range which will enable
you to emphasize the various tonal sounds and alter the music you are
receiving. You may be able to vary the musical balance of the music
un-
til [t IS almost unrecognizable. The lone Gontrols were deslgneo With mesa
extreme range variations to enable you to adjust for your particular listen-
ing preference and the program being received.
POWER ON-OFF SWITCH
The convenient Power ON-OFF push button switch enables you to set the
VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE controls, then turn the radio on or off without having
to reset the controls each time.
BUILT-IN AM/FM ANTENNAS
AM — The BUILT-IN ANTENNA (200 mm Ferrite Rod) is somewhat directional,
and on weak stations it may be
necessaty to rotate the radio for beat reception.
The FM WHIP antenna is not used for AM reception.
FM — The WHIP ANTENNA maybe positioned anywhere within an 180 degree
arc and is capable of rotating 380 degrees. To use, lift and extend the WHIP to
its fullest length. For distant stations, it may be necessary to adjust the WHIP
antenna’s position for beat reception.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the WHIR always lower its sections one at a time star-
ting with the largest diameter. Never lower the WHIP from the tip end
since buckling or bending is possible. Be sure the slot provided in the
base of the swivel antenna is positioned properly before lowering the WHIP
into its holder clip.
WHIP ANTENNA REPLACEMENT
The whip antenna has been designed so that it is easily replaced in the event
it is damaged. The antenna’s mounting post goes through a hole in the cabinet
top and is held in place by a single screw through the catinef back. Simply remove
the screw and slide the post out of the cabinet top. To install the replacement,
reverse the procedure.
To order a replacement whip antenna (No. 5-1992) use Accessory Order Form
included in this Guide.

EXTERNAL AMIFM
ANTENNA TERMINALS
Although the Superadio normally provides excellent reception utilizing its built-
in antennas, it offers the additional capability of connecting outside AM or FM
antennaa to the EXTERNAL ANTENNA terminals on the cabinet back. External
antennae can be used in poor reception areas (inside steel and concrete buildings)
or to improve recemlon of dktant stations. The antenna required for FM differs
from the type needed for AM reception.
AM -An AM antenna for outside installation connects to the screw terminals on
the cabinet back marked
AM and GND.
FM - You may use vour TV antenna or an outside FM antenna. The twin leads
connect to the scr&v terminals marked FM (300 ohm) and GND.
IMPORTANT External antennae are available km
IOCSl parts stores. Follow all safety instructions (pr-
ovided with antenna) when installing any outside
antenna.

NOTE: The Jack is designed to permit use of stereo headphones with your mono
radio, but reception will be heard in mono only.
USERS CHECK LIST
Before seeking service, a simple review of the step-by-step instructions may
eliminate or clarify your problem.

●
NO SOUND
Is power cord plugged into a working 120V AC outlet? IS POWER oN/OFF
switch in ON (depressed) position? Are batteries installed correctly? Are bat-
teries weak?
WEAK OR DISTORTED SOUND
Check condition of batteries or operate on AC power. If sound is good on AC
power, batteries are weak and should be replaced.
AM ReceDtion
— Trv rotatin~’ radio for best recetilon
FM Rece~lon — Filly exte;d whip antenna.
‘
EXCESSIVELY NOISY RECEPTION
The “noise” may becoming from outside sources such as the broadcast pro-
gram material, electrical “noise” from nearby automobiles, electrical lights
(fluorescent lamps),
ets., also, noise will be more noticeable from distant
stations.
LONG DISTANCE AM LISTENING (DXing)
Because your Superadio Ill is designed for long-range AM recewlon you will gain
added enjoyment receiving broadcasts from dietant AM stations. You may listen
to newa, weather,
spor@ and other special programming from ofher cities. A station
log has been included on page 6 to help you keep a DX (long distance recep-
tion) record of stations received.
Although daytime AM reception is limited to a maximum of a few hundred miles
(depending on the strength of the radio station, atmospheric conditions, etc.),
at night you maybe able to pick up powerful stations over a thousand miles away.
This is because AM “sky-wave” signals are reflected off the ionosphere and back
to earth in the nighttime hours.
OX HELPFUL HINTS
The number of stations you are able to receive is a function of many factors.
The following may prove helpful:
1. Although the built-in AM antenna will enable you to receive many distant sta-
tions, your reception can be improved significantly with the addition of an
external AM antenna.
,,

2.
3.
The dusk to dawn hours are best for long distance AM reception with sunrise
and sunset the optimum times.
Clear winter
eveninas are normally suDerior to summer because the niahts
are longer and ther; is less inted”erence from electrical storms. -

BANDA AM (AMPLITUD MODULAR)
A Ias estaciones en la banda AM se Ies asigna Ias frecuencias de transmisi6n
entre 540 y 1700 kilohertz (KHz). Las transmisiones AM parten de la antena en
dos tipos de ondas radiales~ndas
terreetres y ondas espaciales. Lss ondas ter-
restrea se mantienen muy cerca a la superficie y pueden ser racogidas por recep
tores en SU zona local. Las ondas espaciales van hacia el espacio y altraviesan
la ionosfera hacia fuera del espacio. Algunas de esas ondas espaciales tienen
la tendencia de “rebotar” de la ionosferea (especialmente durante la noche) y
puaden ser recogidas por receptors distantes.
WIDE BAND
This “AM ACCENT” switch allows:
● Maximum selectivity of adjacent etatins in the NORMAL position.
● Improved audio fidelity of strong local stations when in the WIDE positon.
NOTE In the WIDE position, you may encounter beat and whistle noises due
to adjacent-channel stations in the AM band. This problem maybe par-
ticularly noticeable during nighttime reception. If this occurs, switch to
NORMAL positon.
BANDA FM (FRECUENCIA MODULADA)
Las estaciones radiales de la banda FM tienen asignadas frecuencias entre 88
y 108 Megahertz (MHz). Los programas FM son de m~s altas frecuencias y
ofrecen menos deecarga atmoaf&ica e interferencias provenientes de afuers tsnto
como mayor
fidelidad auditiva que Ios progrsmas en la banda Am. Sin embargo,
su alcance noes tanto como el de la banda AM porque casi ninguna de Ias on-
das espaciales tiene que ver con la banda de frecuencias FM.
“AFC” (Control de Frecuencia Automdtico~
El Control de Frecuencia Automdtico “AFC” funciona para evitar que [as esta-
ciones FM se extravien y ayuda a inmovillzar la radio a la eataci6n a la cual se
encuentra sintonizada. El “AFC” aolamente funciona en la banda FM, y no afects
el funcionamiento en la banda AM. Sintonice su estacion deseada en la banda
FM con el interruptor marcado
“AFC SELECT” en la Position “OFF” (Apagado),
despu6s cambie a la posici6n “ON” (Encendido) pars acthfar la acci6n del “AFC’.
Cuando se encuentre sintonizado a una estaci6n FM normalmente fuerte, deje
el interruptor “AFC SELECT” en la posici6n “ON”.
Bajo
ciertas condiciones, Ud. quiz/is no desee usar el “AFC”. Cuando la esta-
ci6n deseada eet6 muy cerca de otra m~s fuerte, el Control de Frecuencia
Automtitico pueda que sintonice la radio a !a estaci6n mAs potente. Si r%to ocur-
riese, sintonice la estaci6n deseada con ei interruptor “AFC” en la posici6n “OFF”.
Si al cambiar el interruptor a la posici6n “ON” causase un cambio en la sin-
tonizaci6n la estaci6n contigua mAs fuerte, simplemente deje el interruptor “AFC
SELECT” en la posici6n “OFF”.
CONTROLES PARA EL TONO “BASS/TREBLE”
El control marcado “BASS” Ie permite a Ud. aumentar o disminuir el volumen
relativo de Ios sonidos graves (bajos) independientemente del volumen normal
al cual se encuentra ajustado
El control marcado “TREELE” Ie permite a Ud. aumentsr o disminuir el volumen
relativo de Ios sonidos agudos independientemente del volumen norms al cual
