POWER SUPPLY

Batteries
· Open the battery compartment and insert 3 alkaline batteries of the type R6, UM 3 or AA.
GB

AC Mains adapter (not included)
You can connect the set to the mains using a mains adapter.
Only use a mains adapter which supplies 4.5 V DC with the negative pole at the centre pin of the plug (->+).

· Remove the batteries when they are exhausted or if they are not going to be used for a long period of time.
Note: If the DC 4.5 V ->+ socket is in use, the battery supply will switch off automatically.

Note on Environmental Protection
Do not throw exhausted batteries in the household refuse.
Hand over the old batteries to your dealer or public collecting points when buying new ones.

Warning for weak batteries :

When the batteries run low, the sound volume declines

gradually. The indication

appears on the display.

Continued operation with low batteries causes the radio to turn

off automatically, other malfunctioning and losing programmed

time settings and preset radio stations. In this case, remove the

batteries and press a paper clip through the RESET hole.

Readjust the time settings and the preset radio stations. To prevent that the radio is switched on accidentally, use the LOCK-switch when packing the radio or putting it away.

Before connecting the mains adapter · Check that the mains voltage indicated on the type plate of
the adapter matches your local mains voltage.
· If the mains adapter is equipped with a voltage selector, set this to the local voltage.
· Connect the mains adapter to the DC 4.5 V ->+ socket of the set and to the wall socket.
Power failure
If the power supply is interrupted, the programmed time settings and preset radio stations will be kept in the memory for 10 min. or more.
If the AC power is disconnected from the 4.5 DC socket, the batteries (if present) will take over the supply.

Most short-wave broadcasting bands, indicated in the short-

wave table, are allocated for the whole world and can be

used for international broadcasting. They are so far the only

wavelengths which allow direct radio reception over long

distances. So in addition to the broadcasting services, there is

a large number of other users of short wave, for example radio

amateurs, shipping and aviation, radio navigation etc.

SW Tuning mode (meterband/continuous)
Your Yachtboy P-2000 has a built-in SW frequency (SW FREQ.) tuning mode selection switch inside the battery compartment.
· Select A, if you only want to get reception for the stations with the frequency within the meter-bands.
· Select B, in case you wish to obtain the frequencies in between the gaps of the meterbands.

RADIO RECEPTION

AM STEP selector (MW)

The minimum ‘frequency distance’ (span division) between adjacent radio stations (measured in kHz) is standardized all
GB over the world.
However, North and South America use another standard than the rest of the world.

This means that the radio should use a tuning step according to the standard concerned in order to obtain accurate radio tuning.

The AM STEP switch (in the battery compartment) allows

accurate tuning for both standards.

Aerials
· For FM reception extend the telescopic aerial fully. To improve the reception you can incline and rotate the aerial. If the FM signal received is too strong (in the direct vicinity of the transmitter) you can retract the aerial.
· For the medium wave (MW), the set has a built-in aerial, so the telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct the aerial by turning the set itself.
· For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic aerial and position it vertically.

Radio reception

· Ensure that the LOCK-switch is off.

· Press POWER to switch the radio on. The frequency and the wave band will appear on the display.

· Adjust the volume with the VOLUME control.

· You can connect headphones to the p socket . The loudspeaker will then be switched off.

· Set the wave range with the FM MW SW1 SW2 switch

· If you select SW with the FM MW SW1 SW2 switch, press

METER to select the required meter band of short wave (see

the SW Tuning Table on page 2).

The chosen short-wave band and the

frequency will appear on the display.

· A disturbing noise, due to a weak FM stereo signal, can be suppressed by setting MONO/STEREO to MONO.
The ” indication goes out and you will hear the FM
station in mono.
· Press POWER once again to switch the radio off. The display will now indicate the current time.

RADIO RECEPTION

Tuning to a station

Preset radio stations

There are three possibilities for tuning in to a station: Automatically – the stations are sought automatically. Manually – This is easy if the frequency of the station is
already known (e.g. from your radio and television guide). Directly – The easiest way to obtain a station if its frequency
is already known.
Automatic tuning · Keep 3 or 4 (TUNING UP or DOWN) pressed down until the
frequency on the display changes continuously. Tuning will stop automatically as soon as a station is found.
· Repeat this until you have found the desired station.
Manual tuning · Keep 3 or 4 pressed down until you come close to the
desired frequency.

You can programme 20 stations into the memory, 5 on each waveband.

Programming

GB

· Press POWER button to switch on the radio.

· Tune to a radio station automatically, manually or directly.

· Press the MEMO/TIME SET button. The `MEMO’ sign starts flashing on the display.

· Press the preset button (1…5) to store the selected station.

· Press MEMO/TIME SET button again to complete the storing procedure.
The program indicator “MEMO” disappears from the display, and the preset number that was stored is shown in the right corner of the display.

· Then briefly press the other button (3/4); tuning will stop.
· Then press 3 or 4 repeatedly until you reach the desired frequency.
Direct selection · When POWER is switched ON, press FREQ.. The frequency disappears from the display. · You can now enter the station’s frequency with the 1…0 keys. · Confirm the entry by pressing FREQ. once more. If you insert an invalid frequency, the display shows `Err’.
· Repeat the steps above, making sure the frequency is correct.

· Repeat these steps for the other stations you wish to programme.

Calling up preset stations · Select the wave range with FM MW SW1 SW2 switch.

· Press one of the 1…5 buttons.

· The MODE button toggles the display between HOME, DUAL and ALARM time indication. After 5 seconds, the display will return to the previous indication.

You can use your world receiver as an alarm clock. To use this function you first have to set the alarm time. You will be woken with a bleep, or by the radio.
Setting the alarm time · Press MODE repeatedly until ALARM starts flashing on the display.

· Press MODE once. The DUAL time appears and the DUAL indication starts flashing.

· Press MEMO/TIME SET. The time digits start flashing.

· Press MEMO/TIME SET to display the dual time constantly. DUAL stops flashing.

· Use the H 3 button to set the hours and the M 4 button to set the minutes (in the same way as the clock time).

· To display the home time constantly again, press MODE twice and then MEMO/TIME SET while HOME is flashing.

· Press MEMO/TIME SET to store the setting If you do not press MEMO/TIME SET, the display will return
to the previous time setting after 5 seconds.

Setting the current time (HOME or DUAL) · Press MODE to set the display in HOME or DUAL time mode.

Selecting the alarm mode · Use the RADIO/BUZZ switch to select the alarm mode.

· Press MEMO/TIME SET. The time digits start flashing.
· Use the H 3 button to set the hours and the M 4 button to set the minutes.
A single press of the H 3 or M 4 button advances the setting by 1 hour or 1 minute respectively. If the button is held pressed, the setting advances rapidly.
The minutes will not be carried over to the hours if, for example, the minutes indication changes from ’59’ to ’00’.
· Press MEMO/TIME SET to store the setting If you do not press MEMO/TIME SET, the display will return
to the previous time setting after 5 seconds. 22
