Battery operation
1Open the battery compartment on the back of the device by pressing
the marking and opening the lid.
2 Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5 V, Mignon type LR6/AM3/AA).
Notes:
When the batteries are low, » « flashes in the display. Each time
you switch off the radio, the battery charge indicator, for example » 3«,
appears for seven seconds. If the charge level falls below » 2«, you must
change the batteries. Put in the new batteries within 3 minutes, otherwise
all stored settings will be lost. 
Take out the batteries when you know that the device will not be used
for a long period of time. The manufacturer accepts no liability for
damage resulting from used batteries.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be
disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in
an environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations
which apply in your area.
Mains operation (with standard 6 V/200 mA
mains adapter)
Check if the mains voltage on the mains adapter type plate corresponds t\
o
your local mains supply. The only way to disconnect the device from the
mains supply is to unplug the adapter. 
1 Plug the mains adapter cable into the » DC 6 V
Ó« socket on the
left of the device.
2 Insert the mains adapter plug in the socket.
– The batteries in the compartment are switched off.

Setting the clock
Due to the earth’s rotation, places to the west of you are behind you in time,
and places to the east are ahead of you. Therefore, the earth is divided into
24 hourly time zones. This system is based on a standard time zone calle\
d
UTC (Universal Time Coordinated), previously known as GMT (Greenwich
Mean Time). Short wave stations always give the time according to UTC.
Before you set the clock, find out your local time zone.
You can set two different local times. Local time 1 is the time where you live.
If, for example, you travel to Hong Kong, you can set the time there as \
local
time 2. The setting for local time 1 is retained.
Setting local time 1
When you first switch on the device, or if it has been without a power s\
upp-
ly for a lengthy period, »0: 00« and » « for local time 1 appear in the
display to indicate that the clock has to be set.
1 With the device switched off, keep pressing » FREQ./CLOCK«
until » –: ––« appears in the display and » « flashes.
Note:
If the radio is switched off, press » DISPLAY« to switch the display to
the clock, and start at step  1.
2 Enter the time using the numerical buttons » 1 
…0« in the correct
sequence, for example » 12: 30«.
Note:
if you enter the digits incorrectly, a signal sounds and » Err « flashes
briefly in the display. You then have to start again.
3 Press » FREQ./CLOCK « to confirm the entry.
Setting local time 2
1With the device switched off, press » SW PAGE CLOCK 1/2«.
– Display: » « flashes for local time 2.
2 Press » FREQ./CLOCK «.
– Display: » « stays lit for local time 2.
– The display is now set to local time 2.
3 To set local time 2, do the same as for local time 1 (steps  1to  3).
Note:
If you are operating the device in the 12-hour format, you can choose
between » MEMO AM/PM « AM and PM.

SETTINGS___________________________________________________
Setting and storing radio stations
There are various ways to set radio stations and store them at preset po\
sitions.
1Press » ON/OFF SLEEP « to switch on the device.
– You will hear the radio station last selected. 
2 Press » BAND « to select the frequency band.
Tuning radio stations directly
1Press » FREQ./CLOCK «.
– Display: » – –.– –«, e.g. » « and » MHz« flash.
2 Enter the frequency using the numerical buttons » 1 … 0« in four digits,
for example 1, 0, 0, 6 for » 100.60«.
3 Press » FREQ./CLOCK « to confirm the entry.
– Display: the frequency you entered, for example » 100.60«.
– You will hear the selected radio station.
Tuning radio stations manually (1)
1 Use the » TUNING FINE « dial to tune to the station you want.
– Display: the frequency in 100 or 200 kHz increments (FM), in 9 or  10 kHz increments (MW), in 3 kHz increments (LW) or in 5 kHz incre-
ments (SW).
2 If you want, you can fine tune to the station by briefly pushing in and
turning the » TUNING FINE « dial.
– Display: The frequency changes in 50 kHz increments (FM) or 1 kHz increments (MW, LW and SW).
3 To return to the original mode (for example 100 kHz increments in the
FM band) push in the » TUNING FINE« dial again.
Tuning radio stations manually (2)
1Keep pressing »
« or »« until you reach the frequency you want.
– Display: the frequency changes in increments
or
Hold down »
« or »« until the frequency changes to a rapid run-
through.
– Display: the automatic search stops at the next station with a strong signal.
Saving radio stations on preset positions
You can store up to 45 radio stations, including 18 on two memory levels
on short wave, and nine each on FM, MW and LW.
1 Select the frequency band and the radio station.

2Press » MEMO AM/PM «.
– Display: » « and the preset number, for example » « flash.
3 Press » FREQ./CLOCK « to store the radio station.
– Display: the frequency and » «.
– The current radio station is stored on preset position 1.
Storing short wave (SW) stations
The short wave band is divided into frequency bands of different lengths.
This means that very many stations and institutions use this wave band for
international communication. Therefore, you can store up to 18 SW stations
on two memory levels.
1 Save short wave stations in the same way as described in the previous
section.
2 Once you have stored nine stations on one memory level » «, press
»SW PAGE CLOCK 1/2 « to switch to the second memory level.
– Display: » «.
3 Store the remaining nine stations as described above.
Note:
If you try to store more than 18 stations and press » MEMO AM/PM«,
» \bULL « appears in the display.
Automatic station search 
This function allows you to automatically search for and store nine stat\
ions
in each of the FM, MW and LW bands (not SW).
1To start the search, press »

« and »« at the same time and hold them
down until you hear a signal.
– The search starts at the lowest frequency in the selected wave band, and stores the nine stations with the strongest signals. After the searc\
h
has finished, a signal sounds and the last station stored can be heard.
– Display: » « and the preset number, for example » «.
Notes:
When you start the search, all the previously stored stations are deleted.
During the search, the status line » ... ... ...« shows the pro-
gress, but not the stations found.
You can stop the search by pressing » ON/OFF«.
You can reorganise the preset stations using MODE 50 or 51 (see 
page 16).
