Radio
9 / 10 KHz - 24 / 12 hours switch
With the 9 /10 KHz switch you can select the size of the frequency
step between adjacent channels in the AM (=MW) band.
At the same time you select the 12- or 24 hours clocksystem:
-9 KHz corresponds with the 24 hours clock.
-10 KHz corresponds with the 12 hours clock.
In North- and South America it should be set to 10 KHz /12 hours clock.
In all other parts of the world to 9 KHz / 24 hours clock. In case of the
12 hours clock, the AM- or PM-indicator appears in the display.
Antenna
• For FM, pull out the telescopic antenna. To improve FM-reception,
incline and turn the antenna. Reduce its length if the FM-signal is too
strong (very close to a station). To improve FM reception use the
supplied SW antenna (type SBC 3581).
• For AM (=MW) and LW, the set is provided with a built-in antenna, so
there is no need to use the telescopic antenna. The antenna can be
directed by turning the whole set.
• For SW, the telescopic antenna must be pulled out and placed in the
vertical position. To improve SW-reception, vary the length of the
antenna or use the supplied SW-antenna (type SBC 3581).
Local / distance
With the local / distance switch you can adjust the sensitivity of the radio.
• Press LOCAL / DISTANCE. 'LOCAL' indication appears in the display.
Only strong transmitters are received, and weak transmitters or
interference (caused by computers, TV-sets etc.) will be suppressed.
News or music
With the NEWS or MUSIC button, you can influence the sound:
• Press NEWS; the high tones are increased which is more suitable for
listening to newsreports.
• Press MUSIC; the bass tones are increased which is more suitable for
listening to the music.
