[. . . ] Aerials -The telescopic aerial is intended for receiving FM (VHF) stations. -The aerial should be fully extended and rotated until best results are achieved. For receiving MW and LW stations there is a ferrite rod aerial inside the radio. The best position for receiving a station will be found by rotating the radio. On FM (VHF) the frequency is shown in MHz, and on MW (mediumwave) and LW (longwave) in kHz Sensitivity switch (LOCAL/DIST) -Normally this switch should be set to the DIST position - remote stations. -If the signal received is too strong (distortions), set the switch to LOCAL + nearby stations. Last station memory function The station to which the radio was tuned prior to switch off will automatically be selected on switch on. When changing the waveband, the last station to which the radio was tuned in each waveband will also be stored in the memory. Tuning to stations · Select the waveband with the BAND switch FM/MW/LW. · Start the station search with the + button (in the direction of higher frequencies) or with the - button (in the direction of lower frequencies). -Pressing briefly + tuning in steps -Pressing longer + tuning automatically -The tuning steps are 50kHz for FM, 9 kHz for MW and 1kHz for LW. 7 As a result of poor reception conditions during automatic station search, the station received may not optimally be tuned. In this case, briefly press the + or - button once or twice until the station is correctly tuned. If the tuned station contains the RDS (Radio Data System) information, the symbol is shown on the display and after a short time the station name will be displayed. Note: When the battery voltage decreases, the automatic station search may function incorrectly. Display mode After tuning to an RDS station, the display indicates its frequency for 1. 5 seconds and then the station name continuously. · To briefly display the station name again, briefly press the + or - button once. · To display the station name continuously, press the DISPLAY button again. -If the station is not transmitting an RDS signal or if the signal is too weak, the frequency will be displayed instead of the station name. Using alternative frequencies If the tuned station contains the RDS feature ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY, the button AF can be used to switch between stations to find a station with a stronger signal. -After pressing the AF button the set tunes to such an alternative frequency. -If no more frequencies are available, the radio switches back to the original tuned station. Note: All RDS features as such the AF feature are only available on the FM band.
