  • Battery Operation (Rechargeable): The radio supports 6 x rechargeable AA (NiMH) batteries. When using rechargeable batteries, the battery switch must be set to "Rechargeable." Batteries are charged by connecting the supplied AC adaptor to the DC IN socket while the radio is switched off. The charge LED will flash during charging and stop when fully charged (approximately 7 hours).
  • AC Power Adaptor: The radio can be powered directly via the supplied 12V DC 500mA AC adaptor. When the adaptor is plugged in and the radio is switched on, batteries are automatically disconnected.
  • Setting the Clock: The clock can be set whether the radio is on or off. It involves pressing and holding the time set button, then using the tuning up/down buttons to set the hour and minute.
  • Tuning Methods:
    • Scan Tuning: Pressing the Scan button automatically searches for and stops on radio stations with good signal.
    • Manual Tuning: Using the Tuning Up/Down buttons to incrementally change the frequency or to rapidly scan until a station is found.
    • Preset Memories: Up to 5 stations can be stored per waveband. To store, tune to a station and hold down the desired preset button. To recall, momentarily press the preset button.
  • Radio Alarm: Users can set an alarm to wake up to a chosen radio station. The alarm will sound for one hour unless turned off. If the radio alarm station signal is too weak or battery is low, it defaults to the buzzer alarm.
  • HWS Buzzer Alarm: This alarm features a gradually increasing volume over one minute, followed by a minute of silence, repeating for an hour.
  • Snooze Function: Pressing any button (except Power) during an active alarm will activate snooze, silencing the alarm for 5 minutes.
  • Sleep Function: The sleep timer allows users to set the radio to turn off automatically after a preset duration (60, 45, 30, 15, 120, 90 minutes).
  • Display Backlight: Pressing any button illuminates the LCD display for approximately 10 seconds. It also illuminates automatically during scanning and when an alarm is activated.
  • Software Version Display: The radio's software version can be displayed by turning off the radio and holding the Band/Step button for 2 seconds.
  • Time Format Setting: The time format (12H or 24H) can be selected by pressing and holding the Band/Step button, then using the tuning up/down buttons.
  • Tuning Step Setting: The radio allows adjustment of the AM and FM tuning steps (e.g., 9kHz/10kHz for AM, 50kHz/100kHz for FM) to suit different regional broadcast standards.
  • Headphone Socket: A 3.5mm jack for connecting headphones or an earpiece.
