Press and keep pressed longer than 1 s: Automatic memory position selection in descending order. The automatic memory position select function stops for approx. 5 seconds on each memory position so that the station received on it can be checked. A further pressure on the MEMO q button will terminate this function. Top of Unit Telescopic aerial for FM and SW reception.
Your Unit at a Glance STEREO MONO On FM: Mono/stereo switch. WIDE NARR On AM: Wide/narrow switch. In the FM waveband, this switch is used to select between mono and stereo reception. In the AM wavebands, the same switch is used for changing the bandwidth. Right Side of Unit FINE TUNING Fine tuning For fine tuning on SSB reception. SSB SSW on/off switch For switching on and off the SSB mode (Single Side Band reception). U SSB is especially used for amateur SW radio reception.
Aerials Telescopic aerial for FM and SW reception. When the aerial base is completely retracted, the telescopic aerial can be tilted and swivelled into the position giving best reception. For SW reception, fully extend the aerial and position it vertically. Due to the much better propagation conditions in the evening and night hours with respect to daytime reception, interferences may occur during these hours. These interferences can be reduced by partially pushing in the telescopic aerial.
Power Supply Mains Operation Battery Check Y Only use a mains unit with the correct output voltage of 9V = and correct polarity . When the batteries get weak, the indication the display. Connect the mains unit to the DC 9V socket. This disconnects the inserted batteries. When the radio is switched on, it will switch off after a short time. ON-TIME 8 6:3 0 No responsibility can be accepted for damage due to incorrect mains operation. BATT.
Power Supply Data Protection (Mains and Battery Operation) The data stored in the station memory, the clock time, and the Last Station Memory are retained for approx. 10 minutes. You can calmly exchange the batteries without being afraid of loosing the stored data. RESET Button If, due to external interferences (caused by static charges of carpets, thunderstorms, etc.
General Operation For convenient operation, your Yacht Boy can be brought into a tilted position by the swing-out stand provided at its rear. The type plate is to be found below this stand. On the stand, there is an illustration showing the time zones of the world. Button pressure times Brief: less than 0.5 seconds. Long: more than 0.5 seconds. Switching On/Off and Locking To switch the unit on and off, press the ¢ (ON/OFF) button (with the LOCK not being activated, see below).
General Operation Volume and Tone The volume is adjusted with the VOLUME control. The tone is adjusted with the TONE switch. LOW = Bass. HIGH = Treble. Waveband Selection After switching on the unit with the ¢ ON/OFF button, it is ready for reception and you hear the station last tuned to. FM The FM (VHF) band is selected with the ¢ FM button. AM The AM bands are selected with the ¢ AM button. The first pressure on the ¢ AM button switches to the station last received on one of the AM bands.
Station Tuning Switch the unit on with the ¢ ON/OFF button. The display indicates the frequency tuned to – on FM in MHz, and on AM in kHz. The automatic search will stop as soon as it has found a station worthy of reception (of a signal strength sufficient for good reception). It then can be restarted with the ¢ AUTO TUNING button (brief or long pressure). TIME I Frequency Tuning in the FM Band I 8:0 0 Select the FM band. You hear the station last tuned to in the FM band. BATT. CHECK FM LW MW SW : 8.
Station Tuning Adjusting the tuning steps The tuning steps are adjusted with the ¢ STEP button. With the unit switched on, you can switch between: 1 kHz or 9 kHz on LW 1 kHz or 5 kHz on SW 1 kHz or 9 resp. 10 kHz on MW. The respective waveband must be selected. Repeatedly press the ¢ STEP button until the desired tuning step value (e.g., in the figure, STEP 9KHZ) is indicated in the display. TIME I I 8:0 0 BATT. CHECK FM LW MW SW TUNING 0...1...2...3...4...5 8.8.I.5.
Station Tuning Automatic tuning (AUTO TUNING) This frequency search is started by pressing the ¢ AUTO TUNING button. Short presssure: Search is started in direction of higher frequencies. Long pressure: Search is started in direction of lower frequencies. The search function operates with the tuning steps 9 kHz on LW, 5 kHz on SW, 9 or 10 kHz on MW. Station Tuning with the Numeric Buttons (Direct frequency entry) For this, the frequency of the station you wish to tune to must be known.
Entering a Meter Band Entering a meter band on SW Entered numbers below 100 with subsequent confirmation by the ¢ FREQU./METER button are interpreted as wavelength in meter for SW. If the entry is valid, a frequency next to the band centre will be tuned to in the case of radio bands, and the beginning of the respective SW band in the case of amateur bands. See table on page 19. It is possible to enter the following meter bands: 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 25, 30, 31, 40, 41, 49, 60, 75, 80, 90.

Storing, Calling Up, and Clearing What Can You Store? You can programme up to 40 station memory positions (memory positions 1 ... 40) in random order, also mixed from the 4 wavebands FM-MW-LW-SW. You can store in memory each frequency tuned to. If the memory position is alread occupied, – the frequency indication flashes in the display. The indications "MEMORY" and the number of the selected memory position remain steady.
Storing, Calling Up, and Clearing Memo buttons TIME I A short pressure on the ¢ MEMO w button calls up the next higher memory position. The unit automatically tunes to the corresponding station in the correct waveband. I 8:0 0 BATT. CHECK Long pressure on the ¢ MEMO q button: – All occupied memory positions are scanned in descending order. – Each station remains tuned to for approx. 5 seconds before the unit goes to the next one. – A further pressure on the ¢ MEMO q button stops scanning.
Going to Sleep to Music You can enter a time period (60 minutes max.), after which the radio switches automatically off. When the programmed switch-on period has elapsed, the unit is switched off and the SLEEP indication goes out. Press the ¢ SLEEP button. When the radio was switched off, it will be switched on. The further procedure is independent of whether the radio was switched off or not. The switch-on period (period until the radio is switched off) is 60 minutes. The display indicates for approx.
The Clock Here too, each entry step (button pressure) must be completed within a period of 5 seconds. You can enter clock times no matter whether the unit is switched on or off. There are several possible methods for entering clock and switching times. Setting the Clock (TIME II/Clock Time II) For setting TIME II follow the same steps, except that the display must indicate TIME II.
Automatic Switch-On/Wake-Up Function Your radio allows you to enter a wake-up time (switch-on time). ¤ = Wake-up with radio programme. When selecting the function "Wake-up with radio", you will hear the last received radio station. The switching times refer to the clock time (TIME I or TIME II) indicated in the display. You hear the station last tuned to. = Wake-up with sound signal. The radio is muted and you hear a sound signal instead. This function is also possible with the radio switched on, e.g.
Automatic Switch-On/Wake-Up Function At the programmed time, the radio is automatically switched on. If no button is pressed, the radio will play for about 60 minutes and then is switched off automatically. If you press the ¶ SNOOZE button, the radio is switched off for 5 minutes and the ¤ symbol is flashing in the display. You can repeat this snooze function as often as desired. If you press the ¶ SNOOZE button longer than 2 seconds, the radio is completely switched off.
Special Functions on AM SSB Mode (Amateur Radio Reception) SSB reception is an additional function to "normal" radio reception. It allows you to listen to amateur transmissions (mostly speech). In most cases, these are transmitted in the SSB mode (Single Side Band). Proceed as follows: Switch the unit on and select a SW amateur band (see table in chapter "Entering a Meter Band").
