IMPORTANT NOTE: If using an AC adaptor rated higher than 80-100 milliamps, or one other than that included with the FR200G, do not allow it to charge for more than two hours and unplug the AC adaptor after charging. If using such an AC adaptor to continuously power the radio, unplug the internal rechargeable battery. 5 EXTERNAL POWER/RECHARGEABLE BATTERY Plugging an AC adaptor (AC adaptor only included with FR200G Model) into the DC 4.5 V socket on the back of the radio will provide power for operation and will charge the Ni-MH battery pack. To play the radio, set the POWER SELECTOR switch to the DYNAMO ADAPTOR position. The Ni-MH battery pack will charge with the POWER SELECTOR switch set in any of its positions. 6 AA BATTERY OPERATION This radio is designed to operate on three AA batteries (not included). Alkaline batteries should be used for longest playtime. Install the batteries by removing the battery compartment cover and following the battery polarity diagrams imprinted on the underside of the cover. Remove the cover by simultaneously pressing on the indentation labeled OPEN and pulling it down toward the bottom of the radio. Turn the radio on by setting the POWER SELECTOR switch to the BATTERY position. NOTE: if an AC adaptor is in use, the AA batteries are switched off automatically. 7 DYNAMO POWER The Ni-MH battery pack can also be charged by turning the dynamo crank following the instructions below: 1. Switch the power selector to the POWER OFF position. 2. Turn the dynamo-crank vigorously either clockwise or counterclockwise. The red charging LED will be lighted during charging. NOTE: It can be charged while the radio is playing, however it does not charge as efficiently, thus reducing playtime. With hand-crank dynamo charging, radio operation time depends on the number of turns and time per turn. On the average, 60-90 seconds of vigorous cranking results in about 40-60 minutes of radio play at low volume, without light use. If the light is on while playing the radio, the radio playtime will be dramatically reduced. The light will always result in the Ni-MH battery discharging at a faster rate. 98 FR200/FR200G OPERATION MANUAL FR200/FR200G OPERATION MANUAL 8 EMERGENCY OPERATION Even if no power source is available, including the Ni-MH battery pack, the radio and the light can still be operated by continually turning the dynamo crank. Set the POWER SELECTOR switch to the DYNAMO ADAPTOR position. 9 OPERATION GUIDE HOW TO TURN ON AND OFF Turn it on by selecting a power source of your choice as described above and then by setting the POWER SELECTOR switch to the DYNAMO ADAPTOR or BATTERY position. Turn it off by setting the POWER SELECTOR switch to the POWER OFF position. HOW TO ADJUST THE VOLUME Turn the VOLUME control knob until the desired volume level is heard. HOW TO TUNE-IN STATIONS Set the band selector rotary switch to the FM, AM, SW1, or SW2 position. Tune stations in with the TUNING knob, using the superimposed FINE TUNING control as desired. For best FM and shortwave reception, fully extend the telescopic antenna. FM reception can often be improved by rotating the telescopic antenna. For AM reception, the telescopic antenna need not be extended, as the AM antenna is an internal, directional, ferrite bar antenna. For best AM reception, rotate the radio until the best signal strength is achieved. See the next section for how to optimize shortwave reception. OPERATION GUIDE continued HOW TO OPTIMIZE SHORTWAVE RECEPTION Being aware of the following information will help you get the best results listening to shortwave. • Shortwave reception is best around sunrise, sunset, and at night • Night shortwave is usually superior to day shortwave reception • During the day, frequencies above 13 MHz are usually best • At night, frequencies below 13 MHz are usually best • Around sunset and sunrise, the entire shortwave range may be good • Getting very close to a window improves shortwave reception • Holding the radio improves shortwave reception HOW TO USE THE EMERGENCY LIGHT Set the FLASHLIGHT to the ON position. HOW TO USE THE EARPHONE JACK Plug in a set of earphones (Earphones only included with FR200G Model) of your choice that have a 1/8 inch mono or stereo plug. When using earphones the built-in speaker will be switched off automatically. Note that stereo earphones will work and sound will be heard from both sides, although FM is not received in stereo. 10 PRECAUTIONS 1. Do not drop and keep away from fire. 2. Do not use abrasive powders to clean the cabinet. Wipe it with a soft cloth moistened with a mild soap and water solution. 3. Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock. 4. Do not use old and new batteries together or different brands and types together. 1110 FR200/FR200G OPERATION MANUAL FR200/FR200G OPERATION MANUAL PRECAUTIONS continued 5.
