8-2 Set Mode Congurations
Details of each item of the Set mode menu are as follows.
8-2-1 Attenuator (ATT) function setting
Use this function when the receiving signal is interfered with by strong
signals from nearby channels. When activated, this function weakens the
reception level of the target signal. However, it also makes unnecessary
signals difcult to receive, so that the target signal may become distinctly
audible. The attenuation level is about 20 dB.
1
Select the Set menu No. 1, "Att".
2
Rotate the dial to display "ON".
"ATT" appears at the top of the
LCD.
MEMO
• This function is effective only when an antenna (i.e. the included
antenna or an external antenna) is connected to the SMA antenna
connector. Set this function to OFF when such an antenna is not
connected.
8-2-2 Earphone Antenna setting
Use this function to switch between an earphone antenna and an external
antenna. When you select an earphone antenna, the earphone cord works
as an antenna. Signals can be received even when an external antenna is
not connected.
1
Select Set menu No. 2, "Ant EnA".
2
Rotate the dial to change the
display from "SMA" to "EAR".
You can now use an earphone
as an antenna.
The LCD should look like the gure on the right.
MEMO
• When an earphone antenna is used, the received signals may be
unstable depending on the condition of the earphone cord.
•
Like the earphone antenna on a card-type transistor radio, the earphone
antenna is not tuned for specic frequencies. As a result, it may only be
able to properly receive strong signals such as those of FM broadcasts
or from near sources.
