BASIC RADIO OPERATION
3. DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY
When the desired frequency is known, it can be entered via the
numeric keypad (14) and the 'Enter' button (13). First, make sure
that the correct band is selected - AM, FM or SW.
Most AM and Shortwave frequencies are designated in kilohertz
(KHz), e.g. 810 KHz or 9475 KHz. All FM frequencies are designated
in megahertz (MHz), e.g. 102.9 MHz. To enter such frequencies:
1. Press/release the 'Enter' (13) button.
2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.
Sometimes Shortwave frequencies are designated in megahertz
(MHz). If you encounter such a shortwave frequency and it has less
than three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15.10 MHz or 6.92
MHz), then use the following method to enter it. However, if there
are three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15110 MHz or 5.975
MHz), use the method described previously.
1. Press/release the 'Enter' (13) button.
2. Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.
3. Press/release the 'Enter' button again.
4. FINE TUNING
The FINE TUNING control (4) is located on the right side of the
radio. It tunes in 1 Kilohertz steps in AM and Shortwave and .05
Megahertz steps in FM. Use it to 'fine-tune' stations to your liking,
or use it as you would a tuning knob.

CLOCK AND ALARM FEATURES
SETTING THE CLOCK
The factory has set the clock to function as a 24-hour format clock.
If you prefer a 12 hour, AM/PM clock format, see the section titled

To set the clock:
1. Turn the radio off. The clock digits appear in the lower part of the
display (43).
2. Press/release the button labeled 'Time Set' (15). The clock's digits
flash in the display.
3. Within 5 seconds, set the hour using the Up/Hour button and the
minutes using the Down/Min. button. Make sure that AM or PM

set up in the 12 hr. AM/PM format.
4. Within 5 seconds of finishing, press/release the 'Time Set' button
twice or just wait until the clock digits stop flashing.
SETTING THE ALARM
Set the alarm with the instructions below. Note that the alarm must
be activated to function. After setting the alarm time, be sure to read
the next section titled ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE ALARM.
The alarm will wake you to the last radio station tuned, unless set for
Favorite Station Wake-Up (Use system set code 01. See page 21).
When the alarm activates, it turns the radio on and the alarm activation
symbol (31) appears flashing in the display. The radio will play for 30
