FEATURES
e An AM/FM portable BCL (Broadcasting Listener) radio with
world-wide band coverage.
e Crystal-locked PLL (Phase Locked Loop) Synthesizer System
uses a microcomputer to make pinpoint tuning easy. The tuned fre-
quency is digitally displayed.
e Choice of Direct, Scan, Preset or Manual Tuning.
© Up to six stations can be preset so that they can be tuned in with
the press of a button.
@ Sleep timer turns the radio off automatically at any time up to 90
minutes.
@ Three different power sources: internal batteries, house current
or a car battery.
PRECAUTIONS
e
Operate
the
computer
only
on
3V
de
with
two
IEC
designation
R6
batteries
(AA
size).
© Operate the radio only on 4.5V dc. The computer must have bat-
teries for the radio to operate.
For
ac
operation,
use
the
ac
power
adaptor
recommended
for
this
set.
For
car
battery
operation,
use
the
car
battery
cord
recommended
for
this
set.
Do
not
use
any
other
car
battery
cord.
e
When
the
set
is
not
to
be
used
for
a
long
period
of
time,
remove
the
batteries
to
avoid
set
damage
from
battery
leakage.
Caution:
Because
when
the
computer
batteries
are
removed,
preset
stations
and
the
limits
of
the
scanning
range
will
be
erased,
input
this
information
again,
when
you
reinstall
tne
computer
bat-
teries.
See
pages
10
and
11.
@ When the set is to be operated extensively on other power
sources than batteries, remove the radio batteries.
@ Disconnect the ac power adaptor from the wall outlet when the
set is not to be used for a long period of time.
e The nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located on
the back of the set.
e
Use
the
set
within
a
temperature
range
of
0°C
to
40°C
(32°F
to
104°F).
If
it
is
used
in
temperatures
outside
this
range,
numbers
may
appear
on
the
Frequency
Display
which
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
frequency
being
received.
If it
is
used
in
temperatures
lower
than
this
range,
the
numbers
displayed
may
change
very
slowly.
These
irregularities
will
disappear
and
there
will
be
no
damage
to
the
set
when
the
set
is
used
in
its
recommended
temperature
range.
@
Do
not
leave
the
set
near
heat
sources,
such
as
radiators
or
air-
ducts,
or
in
a
place
subject
to
direct
sunlight,
excessive
dust,
moisture,
rain,
mechanical
vibration,
or
shock.
@ Should any solid object or liquid fall into the set, remove the bat-
teries,
and
have
the
set
checked
by
qualified
personnel
before
operating it any further.
e Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, metailic objects
such
as
pins,
etc.,
may
cling
to
the
set.
Keep
personal
credit
cards
using
magnetic
coding,
recorded
tapes,
and
spring-wound
watches
away
from
the
set
to
prevent
damage
by
the
magnet.
@ When the case becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
dampened
with
a
mild
detergent
solution.
Never
use
abrasive
cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the case.
@ In vehicles or in buildings, radio reception may be difficult or
noisy. Try listening near a window.
@ When there is lightning and you are using an external antenna,
immediately disconnect the AC power adaptor (if connected) from
the wall outlet, Never touch the antenna wire when there is lightn-
ing storm.
@ Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe.
e Reception of 299kHz, 350kHz, 400kHz, 5,760kHz, 11,520 kHz,
10,700kHz
and
21,400kHz
may
be
difficult
because
of
internal
spurious signals generated by the built-in oscillators.
If
you
have
any
question
or
problem
concerning
your
set
that
is
not
covered
in
this
manual,
please
consult
your
nearest
Sony
dealer.

With Sony SUM-1S Super Batteries, listening in a room at a normal
sound level and operating the set tour hours a day, you can expect:
about 10 hours of use if tuned to FM stations only
about 9 hours of use if tuned to AM stations only
e When the sound becomes weak or distorted, replace all bat-
teries.

COMPUTER BATTERIES
Since this radio is controlled by a microcomputer, the computer
batteries must be installed when you operate the radio. If not, the
computer will not operate, nothing will appear in the Frequency
Display, and the radio will not function properly.

© Close the lid.
After installation of the radio and computer batteries, when you
set the POWER switch to ON, irregular figures or letters may ap-
pear in the Frequency Display, but after a few seconds the radio
will begin to operate on the following frequencies:
FM: 76.00 MHz
AM: 150 kHz
Computer battery life
About one year of operation can be expected when using Sony
SUM-3S Super Batteries.
Note: Be sure to replace the computer batteries once a year to
avoid damage from leaking batteries.
Notes on replacement of the computer batteries
@ When computer batteries are removed, preset stations and fre-
quencies input to the Li and Lz keys will be erased. After replacing
the computer batteries, be sure to preset again.
@ Insert new computer batteries one minute or more after remov-
ing old ones. If this is not done, frequencies may not be displayed
properly or cannot be input.
Note: When the air is especially dry, the following may be caused
by static electricity, but there is no cause for alarm:
+ The indication in the Frequency Display disappears.
e Irregular figures appear in the Frequency Display.
e The indication preset at the factory—FM 76.00MHz or AM
150 kHz—appears in the Frequency Display.
+ Frequencies cannot be tuned in.
If any of these things happen, remove and re-install the computer
batteries.
ANTENNA ADJUSTMENT
FOR AM (LW, MW, SW) RECEPTION
Pull the Telescopic Antenna out to its full length.
For AM reception of 360kHz to 2,143kHz, the built-in ferrite bar
antenna also operates. Since this antenna is directional, lay the set
down and rotate it to find the optimum position.
e if there is a fluorescent lamp just above the set and reception is
noisy, incline and shorten the Telescopic Antenna.
FOR FM RECEPTION
Pull out the Telescopic Antenna and adjust its-length, angle and
direction for optimum reception.
NOTES
e If reception is unsatisfactory with the Telescopic Antenna or the
built-in ferrite bar antenna, connect an external antenna. When us-
ing an external antenna, retract the Telescopic Antenna. To con-
nect an external antenna, see page 12.
@ In vehicles or in buildings, radio reception (especially LW and
MW reception) may be difficult or noisy. Try listening near a win-
dow.

Press the EXECUTE key and input the correct frequency.
The indication
If you input a frequency outside the frequency range (FM 76 to
108 MHz, AM 150 to 29,999 kHz), the indication will
flash on and off in the Frequency Display. When you input a pro-
per frequency, the indication will disappear. If you
leave the indication flashing, it will disappear after
about 10 seconds, and the tuned station’s frequency will reap-
pear.
Note: You can input a frequency of FM station up to the first figure
to the right of the decimal point. The second figure to the right of
the decimal point is always displayed as “0” even if you press a
Counter Key. So if you want to tune in a station whose frequency
has figures up to the second place to the right of the decimal point,
such as some European FM stations, round the frequency off.
MANUAL TUNING
