INITIAL SET-UP IMPOR T ANT! SET-UP FOR NOR TH 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. T o change this to the 190KHZ spacing: 1.
SUPPL YING POWER AND USING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS NOTE: when using the adaptor , it is OK to leave batteries in the radio. HOW TO USE THE INCLUDED “REEL” ANTENNA AND THE EXTERNAL ANTENNA SOCKET (left side of the radio) The SW EXT . ANT . Socket is for shortwave antennas.
6 GENERAL RADIO OPERA TION HOW TO TURN THE RADIO ON AND OFF Press the ON/OFF button. HOW TO LISTEN T O YOUR LOCAL AM ST A TIONS 1. On the YB 400PE, the AM broadcast band is called medium wave. When you are listening to AM, the letters “MW” appear in the display .
HOW TO USE THE STEREO/MONO SWITCH (left side of radio). For true stereo reproduction in FM, select STEREO when you use earphones or headphones. When STEREO is selected, and the broadcast is in stereo, two circles appear above and to the right of the frequency in the display .
When the radio is off: Pressing the LOCK button locks all keys. This will keep the radio from accidentally turning on when packed in a briefcase, etc. When you want to listen to your radio, press LOCK and then the ON/OFF switch.
9 HOW TO LISTEN T O SHOR TW A VE ST A TIONS If you already know the specific frequency of a shortwave station, enter it, using the direct frequency entry technique described earlier . For a complete list of shortwave frequencies, use the major shortwave publications mentioned on page 22.
MANUAL TUNING: Use the regular TUNING buttons to go up or down frequency . Be aware that when using manual tuning, it is possible to tune right out of the shortwave band you have entered. Y ou are in the band as long as the band’ s number , e.g. 25m, is in the display .
1. Press 5975 2. Immediately press the FREQU./METER button 3. Press 3 2 4. Immediately press the STORE button. If the display flashes, it means that a frequency is already stored into this memory . T o overwrite it, immediately press STORE again. If you do not want to overwrite it, start over and use a different memory .
12 HOW TO ERASE THE CONTENTS OF A MEMOR Y Enter the memory’ s number e.g. 2 5 , then press FREE twice..
USING THE CLOCK, ALARM AND SLEEP TIMER FEA TURES This can be done with the radio on or off. The YB400PE’ s clock is a 24 hour clock only , e.g. 6’oclock in the morning will read as 6:00; 6 o’clock in the evening will read as 18:00. There are two clocks, TIME I and TIME II.
HOW TO SET THE SLEEP TIMER Press the SLEEP button over and over . Each press changes the amount of time the radio will play before shutting off automatically , 60 through 0 minutes. HOW TO USE THE DIAL LIGHT (button on top of radio) The LIGHT button causes the display to be illuminated.
Listed below are the characteristics of the major shortwave bands. Follow these guidelines for best listening results. Because shortwave signals depend on such factors as the sun, the iono- sphere and the earth itself, signals cannot be heard on all bands throughout the day .
EVENING/NIGHT LISTENING This is the best time to listen, because the broadcasters are deliberately transmitting to North America. These bands may be extremely good around sunset and sunrise too.

IF A COUNTR Y IS NOT TRANSMITTING ITS SIGNAL SPECIFICALL Y FOR RECEPTION IN NOR TH AMERICA, IS THERE ANY CHANCE OF RECEIVING IT? Y es, with detailed research into broadcast time and frequency and patience, it is possible but never guaranteed. A profession- ally engineered outdoor antenna can make a major difference.
HOW CAN I DETERMINE IF AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA WILL HELP? While inside your normal listening environment, tune in a rela- tively weak shortwave signal. Staying tuned to this signal, step outside and away from your building. If the signal strength increases significantly , an outdoor antenna will help considerably .
