OPERATION 
 
HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES 
This radio is designed to operate on three AA batteries (not included). 
Alkaline batteries should be used for longest playtime. Remove the 
cover by simultaneously pressing on the indentation labeled OPEN 
and pulling it down toward the bottom of the radio. Install the batteries 
by removing the battery compartment cover and following the battery 
diagrams on the bottom of the compartment. NOTE: if an AC adaptor 
is in use, the AA batteries are switched off automatically. Turn the 
radio on by setting the POWER SELECTOR switch to the REFRESH 
position.  
 
The Ni-MH battery pack can also be charged by turning the dynamo 
crank following the instructions below: 
1.  Switch the power selector to the POWER OFF position. 
2.  Turn the dynamo-crank vigorously either clockwise or 
counterclockwise. 
The green charging LED will be lighted during charging. This light will 
also illuminate when using the 4.5 V adapter. 
 
 
HOW TO TURN THE RADIO ON AND OFF 
Turn the radio on by setting the POWER SELECTOR switch to the 
REFRESH (Rechargeable battery pack) or DC 4.5V position (alkaline 
batteries) as desired. Turn it off by setting the POWER SELECTOR 
switch to the POWER OFF position. NOTE: if no power source is 
available, including the Ni-MH battery pack, the radio and the light can 
be operated by continually turning the dynamo crank. To do so, set 
the POWER SELECTOR switch to the REFRESH position.

HOW TO ADJUST THE VOLUME 
Turn the VOLUME control knob until the desired volume level is 
heard. 
 
 
HOW TO TUNE-IN STATIONS 
Set the band selector rotary switch to the FM, AM, SW1, or SW2 
position. Tune stations in with the TUNING knob. For best FM and 
shortwave reception, fully extend the telescopic antenna. FM 
reception can often be improved by rotating the telescopic antenna. 
For AM reception, the telescopic antenna need not be extended, as 
the AM antenna is an internal, directional, ferrite bar antenna. For 
best AM reception, rotate the radio until the best signal strength is 
achieved. See the next section for how to optimize shortwave 
reception. 
 
HOW TO OPTIMIZE SHORTWAVE RECEPTION 
Being aware of the following information will help you get the best 
results listening to shortwave. 
•  Shortwave reception is best around sunrise, sunset, and at 
night 
•  Nighttime shortwave reception is usually superior to day 
shortwave  
•  During the day, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually best 
•  At night, frequencies below 13 MHz are usually best 
•  Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may 
be good 
•  Getting very close to a window improves shortwave reception
