INITIALSET-UP

IMPORTANT!

SET-UP FOR NORTH 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. To change this to the 190KHZ spacing:

1. With the radio OFF, press and release the AM button

once.

2. Immediately press and release the STEP button. “10

KHz” now appears in the right side of the display and will

disappear in a few seconds.

This change will be permanently in the radio’s memory as long as

batteries are not taken out for a period of ten minutes or more.

When traveling outside of the Americas, use the same procedure

as above to set the spacing back to 9 kilohertz.

ADDITIONAL SET-UP INFORMATION

1. On the right side of the radio, set the SSB switch to the

OFF position. This feature is described on page 23.

NOTE: the FINE TUNING control, on the right side of

the radio, is only activated and needed when the

YB400PE is in the SSB mode. You do not need to use

this control when listening to regular AM, FM, and

shortwave broadcasts.

On the left side of the radio, set the DX/LOCAL switch to the

DX position. DX allows for maximum sensitivity, the preferred

position.

SUPPLYING POWERANDUSING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS

NOTE:when using the adaptor, it is OK to leave batteries

intheradio.

HOW TO USE THE INCLUDED “REEL” ANTENNA AND

THE EXTERNAL ANTENNA SOCKET (left side of the radio)

The SWEXT.ANT.Socket is for shortwave antennas. Use it

with the included “reel” antenna. Always fully unroll the “reel”

antenna and place it as high off the floor as possible, next to the

windows.

PROFESSIONALLY ENGINEERED ANTENNAS

Professionally engineered, outdoor shortwave antennas, available

through specialized retailers, can also be used. Use the SW.EXT.

ANT. Socket mentioned above. The socket is a 1/8 inch mono

socket, used in conjunction with a 1/8 inch mono plug, such as the

plugs often used for mono earphones. If you would like advice

about shortwave antennas, please call Grundig technical support

at 1-800-872-2228 for U.S. and 1-800-637-1648 for Canada.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

Install six AA alkaline batteries. Follow the diagram imprinted on

the back of the radio near the battery compartment. With the

radio face down and the battery compartment toward you:

·The flat ends (-) of the bottom batteries

go toward the left.

·The flat ends (-) of the top batteries go

toward the right.

AC ADAPTOR USE

The Grundig adaptor supplied with this product is only for use in

the Americas, where household AC voltage is 110-120 volts AC.

Do not use this adaptor in countries with household AC voltage

of 220-240 volts AC.

USING YOUR GRUNDIG AC ADAPTOR

1. Plug the adaptor into a household outlet.

2. Insert plug into the radio’s DC 9 V socket.

GENERALRADIOOPERATION

HOW TO TURN THE RADIO ON AND OFF

Press the ON/OFFbutton.

HOW TO LISTEN TO YOUR LOCAL AM STATIONS

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.

2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the radio on.

3. Press the AM button several times, until MW appears

near the center of the display.

4. If “STEP” appears in the display, press the STEP button

to choose 10 KHz tuning rate.

5. Automatically tune using the AUTOTUNINGbutton.

The radio will automatically stop on stations. A quick

press-and-release tunes up-frequency; a long press-and-

release tunes down-frequency.

6. Manually tune using the tuningbutton.

HOW TO USE THYE WIDE/NARROW SWITCH (left side

of radio)

Experiment with this switch and let your ears be your guide.

WIDEgives the best audio fidelity; NARROWbest minimizes

interference from other nearby stations. This switch is used for

AM, shortwave, and longwave listening.

HOW TO LISTEN TO YOUR LOCAL FM STATIONS

1. Press the FMButton.

2. Automatically tune using the AUTOTUNINGbutton.

The radio will automatically stop on stations. A quick

press-and-release tunes up-frequency; a long press-

and-release tunes down-frequency.

3. Manually tune using the TUNINGBUTTONS.

HOW TO USE THE STEREO/MONO SWITCH (left side of

radio).

For true stereo reproduction in FM, select STEREOwhen 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. Use the MONOposition

whenver reception is poor or marginal.

HOW TO USE THE TONE SWITCH

Experiment and let your ears judge which position, HIGH or

LOW, you like best.

DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

If you know the exact frequency of the station you want to hear,

directly enter it using the keypad and immediatelypress the

FREQU./METERBUTTON. Pressing the FREQU./METER

button finalizes the entry. Be suretoincludethedecimal point in

FMfrequencies. Any kind of frequency may be entered regard-

less of what kind of frequyency you are presently tuned to, e.g.

you can enter an FM frequency even if you are presently in

shortwave.

AM STATION EXAMPLE: to tune the frequency 810 kilohertz

in the AM band, press 8 1 0 , then press the FREQU./METER

button.

FM STATION EXAMPLE: to tune the frequency 105.7 mega-

hertz in the FM band, press 1 0 5 . 7, then press the FREQU./

METER button. Be sure to include the decimal point in FM

frequencies.

SHORTWAVE STATION EXAMPLE: to tune the frequency

5975 kilohertz in the shortwave 49 meter band, press 5975 then

the FREQU./METERbutton.

When the radio is off: Pressing the LOCKbutton 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

LOCKand then the ON/OFFswitch.

HOW TO USE THE AM BUTTON’S LAST STATION

MEMORY FEATURE

Pressing the AMbutton over and over steps through the last

station tuned in MW, SW and LW.

HOW TO USE THE VOLUME CONTROL KNOB

Use this to control the loudness of the radio.

HOW AND WHEN TO USE THE RESET FEATURE

If the radio operates erratically, gently poke an opened paper clip

into the RESEThole on the front of the radio. Normal operation

may be restored. Note that this procedure erases all memories

and resets the clock

HOW TO USE THE STEP BUTTON

In AM (MW), SW, and LW (see below), the STEPbutton

provides selection of the best tuning steps, in kilohertz. This

button is not functional in FM. The tuning step rate is indicated in

the lower right of the display, e.g. “STEP 5”. Use these guidelines:

AM(MW):10 KHz in the Americas; 9 KHz outside of the

Americas

LW(longwave):9 KHz for broadcast stations. Note: You will

probably not hear any stations in the Americas, as LW is not used

for broadcast stations. It is used in Europe and other parts of the

world for broadcasts to those areas.

SSB: 1KHz

HOW TO USE THE LOCK BUTTON

When lock is on, the word LOCK appears in the upper right area

of the display. Using this feature has no effect on alarm functions.

When the radio is on: Pressing the LOCKbutton locks all keys

except the ON/OFFbutton and the SNOOZEbutton.

HOW TO LISTEN TO SHORTWAVE STATIONS

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.

Evenif youdo notknow any specific frequencies ofshort-

wavestations, you can find themby goinginto ashortwave

bandandtuningaround,asdescribedbelow.

WHAT IS A SHORTWAVE BAND

If you have ever listened to AM or FM radio, then you already

know what a band is. The AM band is 530-1600 KHz; the FM

band is 88-108 MHz. A band is simply a frequency range where

stations are located. When you look for stations in these “bands”,

you simply tune around until you find a station you like. Short-

wave is similar, and the shortwave bands have names like 25

meters, 31 meters, 49 meters, etc. These are abbreviated 25m,

31m and 49m. Just like in AM and FM radio, one simply gets

into the shortwave band and tunes around, looking for stations.

For example, the 19 meter shortwave band encompasses the

frequency range of 15100 to 15600 kilohertz. Thebandchart

onthe backof the YB400PE shows thefrequency range

foreachband.

HOW TO ENTER A SHORTWAVE BAND

EXAMPLE: To enter the 25 meter band

1. Press 2 5

2. Press the FREQU./METERbutton.

HOW TO TUNE AROUND IN A SHORTWAVE BAND

AUTO TUNING: The radio will find stations for you within the

shortwave band you have entered. In shortwave, this feature

only works within the shortwave bands shown on the back of

the radio (see the chart titled “SHORTWAVE BAND AUTO

TUNING RANGES”).
