Four- Way Power Source
1. Battery Power: Insert 3 x "AA" batteries in the battery compartment.
Make sure you have the correct polarity. Put the power switch to
BATT/DC.
2. Solar: The built-in solar panel can be used to directly power the radio
even if the batteries are dead! The solar panel must face direct sunlight
to get enough energy to operate the radio's speaker. If you cannot
position the radio in direct sunlight try using the earphones.
Earphones require less energy to operate than the speaker does.
When switching to solar power always start with the volume control
at the minimum position. The higher you turn the volume the more
light you will need. Even when the main power is switched off, the
solar panel will still charge the built-in rechargeable batteries as
long as the solar panel is exposed to bright light.
The telescopic antenna 10 is for FM/TV/AIR/WB/SW stations. A wire
antenna is included which can be plugged into the earphone jack to
improve shortwave reception. The AM band uses an internal ferrite bar
antenna. Rotate or reposition the radio for best reception on the AM
(MW medium wave) band.
Station can be tuned in with rotary knob 4 . If a station is accurately
tuned in, the Tuning LED lights up unless the signal is very weak.
Shortwave: 2 A must be on AM/SW position, 2 B to choose from
SW1/SW2/SW3/SW4
WB(Weather): set 2 A to WB, 2 B can be on any position.
AIR: set 2 A to AIR, 2 B can be on any position.
