HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES  
If the radio already has batteries in it, turn the radio off. Slide the battery com-  
11  
partment cover , on the bottom left, away from the radio until it opens.  
Install 2 AA alkaline batteries, following the diagram imprinted on the back of  
the radio near the battery compartment. The + side of each battery faces  
toward the battery compartment cover.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: To prevent the loss  
of clock and memory settings, always  
turn the radio off when installing or  
removing batteries and when plugging  
or unplugging the AC adaptor into or  
from the radio.  
USING AN AC ADAPTOR (read the IMPORTANT NOTE, on page 6)  
Turn the radio off. Plug the adaptor into an AC outlet, then into the radio's DC  
20  
jack . Before unplugging the AC adaptor, turn the radio off. Use only an AC  
adaptor with the following specifications: output, 3 VDC, negative polarity.  
Plug-tip diameters: outer, 3.4 mm; inner, 1.3 mm. Rated at 250 milliamperes or  
greater. Before you purchase an AC adaptor, please call us at one of the num-  
bers shown on page 3. We can advise you as to where you can purchase a suit-  
able one that will not damage your radio.  
OPENING THE HINGED COVER  
12  
Open the hinged cover  
by pulling on the latch (middle right side). The cover  
is hinged on the left side and opens to the left.  
HOW TO TURN THE RADIO ON AND OFF  
There are two ways to turn the radio on and off. Both are shown below:  
ON/OFF using the 'SLEEP' button 10 and 'OFF' button 14 and ON/OFF using the  
'POWER/STANDBY' button 13 . The 'SLEEP' method only works if the clock is set.  
ON/OFF USING THE 'SLEEP' AND 'OFF' BUTTONS  
10  
To turn it on, press the 'SLEEP' button . To turn it off, press the 'OFF' button  
14  
. When initially turned on, "60" will appear in the LCD for 5 seconds before  
the frequency display appears. Please note that the radio will automatically turn  
off after "60" minutes. This helps prevent batteries from running down if the  
radio is turned on accidentally. Turning the radio on in this manner is associated  
with the sleep timer function. See the section below titled HOW TO SET THE  
SLEEP TIMER page 11 for more details.

HOW TO OVERWRITE THE CONTENTS OF A MEMORY  
Store a new frequency into it, using the procedure outlined above. Memories  
are never empty, or blank, therefore it is best to store a known station into  
each memory position.

HOW TO TUNE AROUND IN A SHORTWAVE BAND  
turn-off time.  
Let's use a specific example to learn how to "tune around" in a shortwave  
band and find stations. It's really no different from tuning around in the AM  
and FM bands for finding local stations. We will use the shortwave 31 meter  
band, an evening band, in the example below, but you can substitute any other  
band based on it's suitability for the time of day that you are listening, e.g., 19  
meters during daylight hours. Refer to pages 6 through 9 of the SHORTWAVE  
LISTENING GUIDE.

The traditional 31 meter band is considered a night band, covering the frequency  
range 9.5-9.9 MHz. In practice, broadcasts may be found starting at 9.2 MHz  
and extending all the way up to, but not including 10 MHz.  
Contact Grundig if none of the suggestions below restore normal operation.

Probably dead batteries. If not, a 'reset' may be needed. To perform a 'reset',  
remove the batteries or unplug AC adaptor for about one minute. Then, reapply  
power. The display should become active and the radio should turn on.

The clock must be set to turn the radio on/off with this method. - : - - must not

CLOCK DISPLAY READS - : - - AND MEMORIES ARE LOST  
The radio was turned on when batteries were replaced or when an AC adaptor  
was plugged in or out.  
Step 1. Turn on the radio.  
Step 2. Tune to the frequency at the beginning of the band, in this case,  
9.5 MHz.  
Step 3. Now tune manually, using quick, short over-and-over presses on  
the + tuning button. Each press advances the frequency by 5 KHz.  
Shortwave broadcast stations are spaced in these 5 KHz steps.  
Now, tune through the band, listening to any stations that you  
find interesting. You can move around in the band, going up or  
down frequency, by pressing the + or - tuning buttons.  
Step 4. Alternatively, use the AUTO SCAN feature. The tuner will automati-  
cally stop when it encounters a station strong enough to stop the  
scanner. Weaker stations may be missed when using this method  
in shortwave. If you are looking for stations that may be weak,  
use the manual tuning method outlined in step 3 above.  
THE ALARM FEATURE DID NOT WORK  
After setting the ALARM-ON time, 'STANDBY' was not activated to appear in  
the LCD. See the instructions for SETTING THE ALARM-ON TIME.  
HOW TO GO TO A SPECIFIC SHORTWAVE FREQUENCY

Press-and-hold the + or - button until the tuner gets into the general frequency  
range of where the specific desired frequency is located. Then, release-press-  
release the button to stop the scan. Then, use individual, quick, short presses of  
the + or - buttons to get to the exact frequency that you are selecting.  
FREQUENCY RANGE: FM 87.5-108 MHz; MW (AM) 530-1710 KHz; SW 2-30 MHz.
