Battery operation
1Open the battery compartment by pressing the marking and opening the lid.
2Take out the used batteries by pulling the first one out with your index finger. Then take
out the second battery.
3When inserting the new batteries (2 x 1.5 V, type Mignon LR6/AM6/AA), observe the
correct polarity (see the illustration).
Notes:
Take out the batteries when you know that the device will not be used for a long period
of time. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from used batteries.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be disposed of with

Mains operation (with 3-6 V/200 mA mains adapter –
available in any shop)
Check if the mains voltage on the mains adapter type plate corresponds to your local mains
supply. The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to unplug the adapter.
1Plug the mains adapter cable into the »DC 3-6V Ó« socket on the left of the
device.
2Insert the mains adapter plug in the socket.
– The batteries in the compartment are switched off.

Switching on and off
1Press »ON/OFF« to switch on the device.
– The device switches on in the wave band last selected.
2Press »ON/OFF« to switch off the device.
Radio operation
1Press »SW 1 ... 9 LW MW FM« (on the top of the device) to select the wave band.
2Tune in a radio station using »TUNING« (on the right side of the device).
Notes:
For FM reception pull out the telescopic antenna and tilt it until you receive the best
signal. For short wave reception (SW), the antenna should be upright. For medium
wave reception (MW), align the antenna by turning the device.
3Adjust the volume using »VOLUME }« (on the right side of the device).
Listening with earphones
1Insert the earphone plug (ø 3.5 mm, stereo) into the »0« jack on the left of the device.

Stereo/mono reception (with earphones only)
However, if the signal from the FM stereo station is weak, you can improve the sound
quality by switching to mono reception.
1Press »STEREO MONO« (on the left of the device) to switch to mono.
– The stereo LED goes out.
2Press »STEREO MONO« (on the left of the device) to switch to stereo.
– The stereo LED lights up when a stereo channel is received.
Short wave reception
Your radio can receive signals in a number of frequency bands. It does not take long to get
used to tuning to FM and MW stations, since these stations are always at the same places
on the tuning scale because they broadcast at fixed wavelengths and frequencies.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case with short wave stations. Due to atmospheric
conditions, short wave stations must frequently broadcast on different wavelengths.
Most short wave bands are available all over the world and can be used by international
broadcasters. At present these are the only wavelengths which provide listeners with direct
reception over long distances. For this reason, short wave frequencies are not only used by
radio stations, but also by other users such as amateur radio enthusiasts, shipping, aircraft
and radio navigation systems.

ENGLISH
If you want to listen to a particular SW station, you need to know the precise frequency and
wavelength. Many short wave stations will send you broadcasting schedules which give you
the information you need. You can also download the information from the Internet.
