There are 8 buttons and I label the top row from left to right 1-4 and the bottom

row
5-8. Button 1 is the power switch. There is also one other button behind a pin hole at
the upper right of the radio. It is the Reset Button which you might try if all else fails.

Operation
So let’s turn it on. That’s the easy part given the universal power switch icon next to
(1). Tuning is accomplished through the up (4) and down (8) buttons. A brief press of
the button advances one channel step. Bands (AM/FM/SW) are switched with
Button 5. The volume control is on top of the radio.When you tune a station, a pair of
numbers is briefly displayed in the upper right of the LCD. These numbers are an
indication of the signal quality. The first number is the signal to noise ratio in dB and
the second is the signal strength in dBμ. Given the fixed tuning steps, I’m not sure
what use these numbers are except perhaps to compare to another radio that also
displays them (e.g. Tecsun PL-380). They are displayed too briefly to assist in
positioning the radio for best reception.

There are 90 preset memories, 30 per band. Briefly pressing (2) and (3) scrolls
through the memories for the selected band. Pressing (6) initiates storing the
currently-tuned channel into memory; use (2) and (3) to select an open or reusable
memory slot; press (6) again to store. Memory presets are retained (at least for a
while) with the batteries removed. This is a blessing because it really takes a lot of
button pressing to tune this radio. Pressing (7) switches the radio to shortwave and
selects in turn the frequencies 2.30, 3.20, 4.75, 5.95, 7.10, 9.50, 11.65, 13.60, 15.10,
17.50 and 21.45 MHz. Tuning is continuous, but these jumps help you move rapidly
through the shortwave bands.

Setting the clock. With the radio off, press (5) to enter setting mode and
repeatedly press it to advance the date part being set in the order hour, min, year,
month, day. The values are changed with the up/down buttons (4) and (8). To set the
alarm, turn the radio off and turn the alarm on by pressing (6). Then press the time
set (5) to enable alarm time set. Use the up/down buttons (4) and (8) to set the alarm
time. When the alarm is off, (5) enables time setting and when the alarm is on, it
enables alarm setting.
The magic button. A long press of (6) does mysterious things. With the radio off,
press and hold the alarm button (6). As you continue holding, you will see the
following sequence of numbers repeated in the display: “34”, “:34” “95” and
“:95”. When “95” appears, release the button and quickly press the purple button
(with the up arrow) twice. “10 kHz” will appear briefly in the display and thereafter
the AM tuning step will be 10 kHz compatible with North American stations. Repeat
the procedure to switch it back to 9. Timing is critical, so you might have to try it a
few times to get it to work.
The “magic button” also sets the volume control range to a couple of values, one of
which limits the volume and the other that lets you set it wide open. You just have to
play with it to get the right combination of AM step and volume.
