User manual GRUNDIG G6 AVIATOR

[. . . ] Do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Do not submerge or expose for extended period to water. Only operate within specified temperature range (0 °C to 40 °C). Unplug immediately if liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus. [. . . ] The following information will help you get the best results. During the day, frequencies above 11000 KHz are usually best. At night, frequencies below 13000 KHz are usually best. Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may be good. Getting very close to a window and holding the radio improves shortwave reception. SSB enables listening to shortwave two-way communications using the single-sideband mode, such as amateur radio, Morse code, weather-fax transmissions and other signals often referred to as `utility' signals. The Internet and your local library are great resources to learn more. Tune to the shortwave frequency of your choice, using the methods described. To use SSB, turn on the SSB circuit by pressing the SSB button. Use the tuning knob to FAST-tune the SSB signal, then SLOW-tune with the tuning knob. press the JOG button to change from `Fast' to `Slow' tuning. The SSB circuit allows tuning of both upper and lower sideband signals. The G6 has 700 memories (also called presets), arranged in 100 pages (page 00-99), with each page holding 7 memories. buttons #1-7 represent memory locations. All memories are randomly programmable, meaning that any kind of frequency can be stored into any memory. Note that when storing into an already occupied memory position, its contents will be replaced with your new entry. To select the desired memory page (00-99) use the AUTO buttons. Store the station by pressing one of the #1-7 buttons for about 2 seconds or until the square around the memory location in the LCD blinks. To store another station, get out of memo mode by pressing PAGE/TIME and tune to the station; then repeat the steps above. Turn on the G6 and enter MEMO mode by pressing the PAGE/ TIME button, causing MEMO to appear on the left side of the display. Select the desired memory page with the AUTO buttons. The square around the selected memory blinks. [. . . ] Pressing it again within 5 seconds turns the light off. Always-On Mode: When powered by its AC adapter and the light button is pressed, the light remains on when the G6 is turned on. The external antenna socket is used to connect the G6 to advanced performance shortwave antennas using a 50 or 75-Ohm coaxial cable feed-line or to a long wire antenna. When using a 50 to 75 Ohm feedline, it may be necessary to attenuate the signal using an antenna tuner or other method. [. . . ]
