FM/AM/SW Radio

This radio has three bands which are FM, AM, and SW. The detailed features and operations are introduced as follows:
(1) FM Radio:
Features: FM radio is also called frequency modulated radio. The radio emission is linear. Because of its high frequencies and short wave, it is very easy to be obstructed by a large building or mountain. This is why in some remote countries, it is hard to receive FM signals well. But it has the advantage that it can have clear sound and is not easy to be interfered with by electromagnetic waves that come out from household appliances.

FM radio frequency:
87.5-108MHz Scan FM radio: Completely pull out the radio antenna, press the “FM” button to change to the mode of FM radio, then the “FM” icon will light on the top left corner of the display screen; Then hold press the button “SCAN” for over 3 seconds and stop, the numbers on the display screen will jump up quickly from 87.5 and stop at 108, which means the FM radio is Auto- scanning channels and during this time you should not do any other operations on this product. When finish scanning, it will automatically turn back to play the first channel.

(2) AM (MW) Radio:
Features: AM (MW) is belongs to a medium wave, so it is easy to be interfered with by electromagnetic waves that come out from power charger, light, computer, and so on, which may lead to failure to scan AM channels. So you had better move to some places without much interference of electromagnetic waves when you scan the AM radio. In AM radio mode, the bigger noise, the bigger interference. The big interference may lead to failure to scan AM radio. But it has the advantage that it has a long wave which can bypass the large building or mountain. This is why in some remote countries, although it is hard to receive FM signals well, it can receive AM signals well.

AM radiofrequency:
522 – 1710 KHz Scan AM radio: Press the “AM” button to be the mode of AM, then the “MW (AM)” icon will light on the left middle side of the display screen, hold press the button “SCAN” for over 3 seconds and stop, the numbers on the display screen will jump up quickly from 522 and stop at 1710, which means the AM radio is Auto-scanning channels and during this time you should not do any other operations on this product. When finishes Auto-scanning, it will automatically turn back to play the first channel.

(3) SW Radio:
Features: SW is called a short wave, its frequency is 2300-21950KHZ, which is between FM frequency and AM frequency. SW signals depend most on the weather. If on a sunny day, the sunshine will absorb the SW signal, which will lead it hard to receive the SW signal in the day. This is why it is better to receive an SW signal at night.

SW radiofrequency: 2300-21950KHZ
Scan SW radio: Press the “SW” button to change to the mode of SW radio, then the “SW” icon will light on the bottom left side of the display screen; then hold press the button “SCAN” for over 3 seconds and stop, the numbers on the display screen will jump up quickly from 2300 and stop at 21950, which means the SW radio is Auto-scanning channels and during this time you should not do any other operations on this product. When finish scanning, it will automatically turn back to play the first channel.

In FM/AM/SW radio mode, when finish scanning, you can press “  ” or “ ” to choose the previous or the next radio channel. Or you can use number buttons 0-9 can be to select one specific channel (For example, in FM radio mode, if the total FM channel is 50, then you can continuously press buttons 3+5 to select the 35th radio channel. If can not scan out or only scan out very few radio channels, please try to Auto-Scan one more time to see if it will be better.

(4)Memory radio channels and delete radio channels manually
A. Memory radio channels manually:
In usual life, everyone has different usage habits, and some people want to save more radio channels, but when Auto-scan the radio, the radio can only catch those radio channels with a strong signal, can not catch those radio channels with a weak signal. If your desired radio channel is with a weak signal and you want to save it in this situation, you need to memory channels manually.

Detail operations are as follows:
a. If you know the frequency of your desired radio channel, you can save the radio channel by pressing the “0-9” number buttons. For example, for FM radio frequency “1062MHz”, you can press number buttons “1, 0, 6, 2” and then short press the button “ ”, the display screen will appear the word “SAVE”, which means the radio channel has been saved in its related position. You can press “ ” or “ ” to choose the radio channel or press the “0-9” number buttons to choose the radio channel. For example, if one of your desired radio channels is saved as a NO.1 channel, then you can press the number button “1” to choose to play this radio channel.
b. If you do not know the frequency of the radio channels, you can turn the “TUNING” knob to find out the radio channels you want to save, and then short press the button “ ” to save them.

B. Delete radio channels manually:
It is a waste of time to choose your desired channels if the radio has saved many channels and at this time you can delete the channels you do not like as follows:
Press “  ” or “  ” to choose the radio channels you do not like or the fake channels (Fake channels means the channels with noise but no signal), hold press “ ” for 3 seconds, the display screen will appear the word “DEL”, which means the radio channel has been deleted.

Avoid Burns

WARNING

| Antennas
• Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin when the radio is in use, a minor burn can result.
Batteries (If appropriate)
• When the conductive material such as jewelry, keys or chains touch exposed terminals of the batteries, may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit the battery) and become hot to cause bodily injury such as burns. Exercise care in handling any battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or another container with metal objects
Long transmission (If appropriate)
• When the transceiver is used for long transmissions, the radiator and chassis will become hot.
