User manual GRUNDIG YACHT BOY 208

[. . . ] Short wave transmitters have to change their wavelengths fairly often. In the short-wave range between 10 and 100-metre wavelength (frequencies of 30-3 MHz resp. ) nine bands between 10 and 50 metres are allocated to short-wave broadcasting, with another four bands between 60 and 120 metres for broadcasting in the earth's tropical areas. [. . . ] FM = VHF waveband MW = Medium Wave LW = Long Wave SW = Short Wave Use the SW BAND SELECTOR to switch between the 9 SW ranges. · Stations can be tuned to with the rotary TUNING control using the waveband dial. If a station is accurately tuned, the TUNING 6 indicator lights up. · Adjust the volume with the E VOL control. Aerials ­ The telescopic aerial is intended for receiving FM (VHF) and SW (shortwave) stations. · For FM reception the aerial should be fully extended, then swivelled and rotated until best results are achieved. · For SW reception the telescopic aerial should be vertical. ­ For receiving MW or LW stations there is a ferrite rod aerial inside the set. · The best position for receiving a station should be found by rotating the set around its vertical axis. AC Mains adapter (not included) You can connect the set to the mains using a mains adapter. · Only use a mains adapter which supplies 3 V DC with the negative pole at the centre pin of the plug (+<-). · Connect the mains adapter to the DC 3 V +<- socket of the set and to the wall socket. ­ Any batteries inserted in the battery compartment are automatically disconnected. Ear- or Headphone · With 3. 5 mm jack plug can be connected to socket PHONES p. Switching off · The set is switched off when the ON/OFF switch is set to position OFF. 9 YB 208 page 10 GENERAL INFORMATION Technical specifications Power supply: Batteries: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
