8. Beep——[ BEEP ] button
The radio as it comes from the factory beeps after each key press. To disable this, turn the radio
off and long-press the [BEEP] button (number 5). Long press the button to change the option.
9. Display light——[ LIGHT ] button
The display is automatically illuminated for about 10 seconds when you press a key or turn the
tuning knob. Pressing the [LIGHT] button turns it on indefinitely. When set, the light stays on even
when the radio is turned off. Press [LIGHT] button again to turn the display lighting off.

With the radio on or off, long press the [INFO] button to disable the other keys on the radio. Long
press again to re-enable them. This feature is useful to prevent the radio from being
turned on accidentally.
11. Antennas
Antennas capture radio signals that are processed by the radio. This radio has 3 antenna options:
• Internal ferrite bar antenna used for LW/MW
• A 25.5” telescopic whip antenna for SW/FM/AIR
• A 3.5mm jack to connect an external antenna of your choice for SW/FM/AIR
Caution: Ensure that an external antenna is clearfrom power lines.
The internal ferrite bar antenna is directional. Physically turn the radio for best reception. You
may find that moving the radio to a different location, even slightly, greatly improves reception
on all bands.
Radio operation
1. Search Radio Frequency
① Manual Search
Turn the [Tuning] knob to change the frequency, Turn the [ Fine Tuning ] thumb wheel to fine-tune
the frequency in smaller steps, or press the [ Up or Down Tuning Arrow ] to change the frequency.
Note: Tuning speed
The tuning knob has FAST, SLOW and STOP modes. Switch between them by pressing the
[ Tuning ] knob in towards the radio. The display shows the mode in small print.
• Fast - advance 5 kHz (3 kHz on LW, 9/10 kHz on MW, 25kH on AIR and 100 kHz on FM)
• Slow - advance 1 kHz (10 kHz on FM)
• Stop - does not advance
② Auto Search
·ATS Function
Avoid areas with high electromagnetic interference when using the ATS function to obtain more
accurate search results. Noise, such as from desktop computers can be confused with a radio
station.
Long press a band button ([FM], [LW/MW], [SW], [AIR]) and the screen displays "ATS_ _ _" to
enter the automatic search mode. In this mode, the radio will automatically search
all frequencies in the band and store all strong signals in the memory station.
( Note: strong signals are not necessarily generated by broadcast towers, they may also be
strong interference signals. )
