Warning
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
The remote control supplied with this product contains a coin/button cell battery. Swallowing may lead to serious injury or death. Severe burns can occur within 2 hours of ingestion. Keep batteries out of reach of small children. Coin cell batteries can be accidentally ingested. If ingested, these batteries may leak harmful contents causing chemical burns, perforation of soft tissue, and in severe cases may cause death. Coin batteries must be removed immediately if swallowed. Seek medical attention immediately, if you or your doctor suspects that a battery has been ingested.

Power your radio

AC operation

Before plugging the AC cord into the radio, make sure the AC voltage is correct. Insert the plug on the end of the supplied power cord into the AC power socket on the back of the radio.

DC operation

For outdoor use, you can power the radio by using 12v DC input socket from a DC power supply example, from the power supply of vehicles or boats. An AC power adaptor with 1 Ampere and center positive in polarity can also power the radio in house.

Antenna setup for FM reception

The radio comes with built-in AM/FM antenna and external antenna.
To use FM internal antenna, make sure to switch FM external/internal antenna switch in the back of your radio to internal antenna position (i.e. INT. FM ANTENNA). As for external antenna, there are two types of antenna can be used to improve FM reception. You can connect the supplied FM antenna to the F-type antenna terminal and adjust the wire for best reception. You can also connect a 75 ohm coaxial cable of outdoor antenna to the terminal. Make sure to switch external/internal antenna switch to external position while connecting the outdoor/rooftop antenna.

Note
In some of the European countries, you may have to use adaptor plug to connect with the outdoor/rooftop antenna in case your antenna has an incorrect type of plug.

Antenna setup for AM reception

The radio comes with built-in AM Ferrite antenna which should be enough for normal listening. To improve the AM reception, you may connect the outdoor AM antenna (not supplied) with AM external antenna terminal.
