RADIO OPERATION

PLAYING THE RADIO

1.  Set ON/OFF/AUTO/ALARM to ON to turn on the radio.

2.  Set FM STEREO/FM MONO/AM to FM STEREO, FM MONO (FM monophonic), or AM.

    NOTE:  The AM antenna is built-in.  Rotate the clock radio for the best
           AM reception.  Fully extend the AC power cord (with a built-in
           FM antenna) for the best FM reception.

3.  Turn TUNING to the desired frequency.

NOTES:  The FM STEREO indicator (a small red dot to the left of the Tuning
        indicator) lights if you set FM STEREO/FM MONO/AM to FM STEREO and
        the clock radio receives an FM station in stereo.

        To improve the reception of weak FM stations, set FM STEREO/FM
        MONO/AM to FM MONO.  The sound is not in stereo, but the reception
        might improve.

4.  Adjust VOLUME MIN/MAX to a comfortable listening level.

5.  Set ON/OFF/AUTO/ALARM to OFF to turn off the radio.
