OPERATION
To Turn On Receiver—
Some control units have a small knob located below the center of the dial. If your receiver is equipped with this type of control push this small knob in as far as it will go. Other control units have a combination on-off switch and volume control knob. To turn on this type of control turn the knob clockwise until the switch clicks and the dial is illuminated.
Volume Control—
Turning the volume control knob toward the right increases the output of the receiver and turning it toward the left reduces the output.
How To Tune The Receiver—
Turn the volume control knob approximately half way to the right. Rotate the station selector knob slowly until a station is heard. Tune this station in until the minimum amount of background noise is heard. Increase or decrease the volume to the desired level by adjusting the volume control knob. Careful tuning will result in better tone quality from all stations.
If the program being received is from a powerful local station local interference may be practically eliminated by turning the sensitivity control to the LOCAL position. You then will get the best possible reproduction of that station's program.
Sensitivity Control—
The sensitivity control is located on the lower, left front corner of the receiver case and when turned to the LOCAL position it decreases the sensitivity of the receiver sufficiently to greatly reduce interference from street cars, electric signs, X-Ray machines, electrical machinery, power lines, etc. It will also eliminate interference from weak stations.
When the control is turned to the DISTANCE position the receiver is allowed to operate at maximum sensitivity.
Tone Control—
The tone control is located on the lower, right front corner of the receiver case. This control is to be adjusted at the operator's will. However, most experienced operators prefer to set it for maximum treble response when the car is operated at high speeds.
To Turn Off The Receiver—
If the control head has a key knob in the center pull the knob out until it clicks into the off position and the receiver ceases to operate. If you wish to lock the receiver, pull the knob all the way out of the control unit and carry it with you.
If you are using the type of control unit which has a combination on-off switch and volume control knob turn the knob to the left until the receiver ceases to operate.
