SET-UP FOR NORTH AMERICAN USE North America’s AM stations are exactly 10 kilohertz apart. At the factory, the radio is set up for the 9 kilohertz spacing of stations in Europe. To change this to the 190KHZ spacing: 1. With the radio OFF, press and release the AM button once. 2. Immediately press and release the STEP button. “10 KHz” now appears in the right side of the display and will disappear in a few seconds. This change will be permanently in the radio’s memory as long as batteries are not taken out for a period of ten minutes or more. When traveling outside of the Americas, use the same procedure as above to set the spacing back to 9 kilohertz. ADDITIONAL SET-UP INFORMATION 1. On the right side of the radio, set the SSB switch to the OFF position. This feature is described on page 23. NOTE: the FINE TUNING control, on the right side of the radio, is only activated and needed when the YB400PE is in the SSB mode. You do not need to use this control when listening to regular AM, FM, and shortwave broadcasts. On the left side of the radio, set the DX/LOCAL switch to the DX position. DX allows for maximum sensitivity, the preferred position. 4 SUPPLYING POWER AND USING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS SUPPLYING POWER AND USING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES Install six AA alkaline batteries.
