The case is constructed from Bayblend PC/ABS plastic in two main parts, front & rear,
with a detachable battery compartment door assembly in the case back. The principal
PCB's, the Radio and Decoder, are mounted one over the other, with electrical connection
between them achieved by means of a multi-way plug & socket assembly. The PCB
combination is then affixed to the case rear. The case front is detachable and holds the
loudspeaker assembly.
Radio PCB - this PCB contains the Dual Conversion radio receiver, a 1V regulator and a
low battery alarm function. Demodulated data and audio signals from this board are fed to
the Decoder PCB.
Decoder PCB - also sub-mounted on this PCB, are the LC display PCB and the vibrate
motor. The PCB contains the central processor, data decoding, speech storage and audio
amplification, the LC visual display drivers and the LC message screen and alert lamp.
