TUNING SIGNAL indicators
As a station is being tuned in, a left or right indicator
lights in red, and the number of lighting points in­
creases as the signal strength increases. Then, when
the correct tuning is very near, the white points in the
center start to light and increase in number. The station
is tuned most precisely when the number of white
points is at a maximum.
In detuning, the above steps will be reversed.
In AM (MW/LW) reception, the center white indicator
lights when a station is tuned in.
Note: ---------------------------------------------------------------------
If the signal strength of the electric field is insufficient
the left and right indicators will not light more than 4
RED points, or the indication becomes asymmetrical.

areas)
This switch has been set to the correct position for a given
