Sleep timer

The CS-106 radio does not have a sleep timer function (unlike RETEkess V111, где он настраивается короткими нажатиями на клавишу ON/OFF in the off state).

Using the antenna

In the ranges of short waves (SW) and ultra -short waves (FM), use 360 ​​degrees a pin antenna, stretching it over the entire length. If, due to severe reception, distortions or overlap of radio stations appear, add one of the sections of the pin antenna.

Listening to medium waves (MW):
The receiver is built -in the magnetic antenna for taking medium waves (MW), which has the orientation when taking radio signals, so you can rotate the radio body to improve the reception of the radio station.

Display backlight

For use especially at night, the receiver display is equipped with backlight. Pressing any button lights the display for 5 seconds, then in the absence of presses the backlight goes out automatically to maintain energy.

Switching step 9/10 kHz in medium wave mode (MW)

To switch a step of 9 or 10 kHz, in the off state, press the MW key for 3 seconds. On the display, the number will light up - the current installed step in the range of medium waves. Change the step as necessary, using the Tuning ^ and Tuning V buttons. After 2 seconds of waiting for the selected, the step will remain.

The step of radio stations in the range of medium waves of 10 kHz is used in the USA, Canada, Mexico and other countries of the North and South America, and 9 kHz in the remaining parts of the world. By default, step 9 kHz is set and you do not need to switch it - the translator's note.
