11. SLEEP FUNCTION

The sleep function enables the radio to play for a specified
time before automatically shutting off (from 1 hour 59 minutes
to just one minute).
1. With the radio turned off, press and do not release the SLEEP
(10) button. This turns the radio on and 59 minutes appears in
the display. This also activates the sleep timer activation
symbol [ ] in the upper right corner of the LCD. This symbol
looks like a little bed with a person lying in it.
2. If 59 minutes is OK for your needs, release the SLEEP button
at this point. If not, proceed to the next step.
3. While continuing to keep the SLEEP button pressed, use
the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to adjust the sleep time
for your needs. When finished, release the SLEEP button.
While it is playing in sleep mode, it can be turned off by pressing
the SLEEP button. The sleep timer activation symbol will disappear
from the display.

INTRODUCTION TO SHORTWAVE

Shortwave enables you to hear stations from around the world.
Now that you have a shortwave radio, no doubt you'll want to hear
worldwide stations right away. If you're new to shortwave, please
take some time to learn the basics outlined below. To successfully
listen to shortwave stations you must know how to find them. They
are found in the shortwave 'bands'. If you're an experienced short-
wave listener, you'll already know what bands are and how to use
them, but if you're new, you'll need to learn about bands first. After
that, you will have excellent success. Please read on.
