If “TRY” “AGAIN” appears in the display
When you enter an invalid frequency (i.e., a figure that is not within the
frequency range of the band you chose), you will hear a beep and “TRY”
“AGAIN” appears in the display.
Check the frequency and repeat from step 3.
Notes
• Complete each operation from step 3 to 5 within 10 seconds. If the
display returns to the previously tuned frequency, repeat from step 3.
• The unit will not beep if the beep is set to BEEP OFF (see “Turning off
the beep”, page 43).

To improve reception
FM reception
Gently pull out the telescopic antenna
and adjust the length, angle and
direction (see “Extending the antenna”,
page 5).
MW/LW reception
Retract the telescopic antenna and rotate
the unit to reorient the built-in ferrite
bar antenna.
SW reception
Gently pull out the telescopic antenna
vertically to its full length.
For SW reception, you can enjoy even
better reception by using the supplied
external antenna (see “Using the
supplied external antenna”, page 32).
Tips
• Plug in the supplied stereo headphones to enjoy FM stereo reception.
Set ST • MONO to ST or MONO to select stereo or monaural
reception. Select MONO when reception is noisy or unclear.
• When listening to news programs, etc., set TONE to NEWS. Speaking
voices will be heard clearer. When listening to music programs, set
TONE to MUSIC.
• Reception of frequencies around 3.0MHz and 3.64 MHz may be
difficult due to internal spurious signals generated by the built-in
oscillators.
