Using the Sensitivity Switch
If you are listening to a strong FM, AM,
or SW station
, and the sound is distort-
ed, set the sensitivity switch to
LOCAL
.
This decreases the receiver’s sensitivity
which reduces distortion from strong sig-
nals and prevents reception of weak and
noisy signals which are more common.
If you are listening to a weak station
, set
the sensitivity switch to
DX
(distant).
This increases the receiver’s sensitivity
and improves the station’s reception.
Using the Antenna
Use the following guidelines to adjust
your receiver’s antenna.
Note:
For better AM and SW reception,
you can connect an external antenna to
the telescoping antenna.
