Introduction
SHORT WAVE (SW)
Your world receiver can receive a number of wavebands. Most of these
are known and tuning to the required station will soon become a matter
of routine, as the stations are always to be found at the same place on
the dial and are thus tied to a fixed wavelength and frequency.
- With short wave this is unfortunately not always the case. Short-wave
transmitters have to change their wavelengths fairly often. In the short-
wave range between 10 and 100-metre wavelength (frequencies of 30-
3 MHz resp.) nine bands between 10 and 50 metres are allocated to
short-wave broadcasting, with another four bands between 60 and 120
metres for broadcasting in the earth's tropical areas. The latter are
roughly located between the latitudes of 30º north and 30º south, i.e.
“around the equator. Most short-wave broadcasting bands, indicated in
the frequency range table, are allocated for the whole world and can be
used for international broadcasting. They are so far the only
wavelengths which allow direct radio reception over long distances. So
in addition to the broadcasting services, there is a large number of
other users of short wave, for example radio amateurs, shipping and
aviation, radio navigation etc.
TROPICAL BAND (TB)
Some versions are equipped with a tropical band TB. The TB (tropical
band, 60 - 120 metres) is a part of the short-wave band and is used for
broadcasts in tropical areas.
TIME ZONES
The earth rotates around its axis in 24 hours and around the sun in one
year. l
These movements are responsible for the time differences and the
seasons on earth. Due to the direction of rotation of the earth it is
always earlier in the day to the west of where you are and later in the
day to the east of where you are.
The earth is divided into 24 time zones with a difference of one hour
between adjacent zones. The system is based on one standard time
zone, namely UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), previously GMT
(Greenwich Mean Time). Generally speaking, short-wave stations
announce their broadcasts in UTC.

Power supply
BATTERIES
e Open the battery compartment and insert 3 alkaline batteries of the
type R6, UM 3 or AA.
p 135% | DONAR
mo | canon [E
e Remove the batteries when they are exhausted or if they are not
going to be used for a long period of time.
Note: If the 4,5 V DC socket is in use, the battery supply will switch off
automatically.
Warning for weak batteries
When the batteries run low, the sound volume declines gradually.
Continued operation with low batteries causes the radio to turn off
automatically, other malfunctioning and losing programmed time
settings and preset radio stations. To return to normal operation, insert
fresh batteries and press a ballpoint pen through the RESET hole.

Then readjust the timer setting and the preset radio stations. To
prevent that the radio is switched on accidentally, use the LOCK-switch
when packing the radio or putting it away. (see Lock switch)

Power supply 9/10 kHz
AC MAINS ADAPTER (not included)
You can connect the set to the mains using a mains
adapter.
Only use a mains adapter which supplies 4,5 VDC with &
the negative pole at the centre pin of the plug.
Before connecting the mains adapter
e Check that the mains voltage indicated on the type plate of the
adapter matches your local mains voltage.
e lí the mains adapter is equipped with a voltage selector, set this to
the local voltage.
e Connect the mains adapter to the 4,5 V DC socket of the set and to
the wall socket.
POWER FAILURE
— lí the power supply is interrupted, the programmed time settings and
preset radio stations will be kept in the memory for 10 min. or more.
— lí the AC power is disconnected from the 4,5 DC socket, the
batteries (if present) will take over the supply.
9/10 kHz SELECTOR
The minimum "frequency distance” (span division) between adjacent
radio stations (measured in kHz) is standardized all over the world.
However, North and South ii use another standard than the rest
of the world.
This means that the radio should use a tuning step according to the
standard concerned in order to obtain accurate radio tuning.

9/10 kHz SW Tuning mode Aerials
The 9/10 kHz switch ( in the battery compartment), allows accurate
tuning for both standards.
— Setting the 9/10 kHz switch to another position, while the POWER
button is pressed, will reset the clock to 0:00 and will erase all
programmed settings.

SW METERBAND/CONTINUOUS
Your AE 3650 has a built-in Short VVave Frequency Tuning mode select
switch inside the battery compartment.
Select A, if you only want to receive the stations with a frequency
within the meter-bands.
Select B, in case you wish to obtain the frequencies in between the
gaps of the meterbands.
AERIALS
e For FM reception extend the telescopic aerial fully. To improve the
reception you can incline and rotate the aerial. lí the FM signal
received is too strong (in the direct vicinity of the transmitter) you
can retract the aerial.
e For the medium wave (MW), the set has a built-in aerial, so the
telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct the aerial by turning
the set itself.
e For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic aerial and
position it vertically.
