SET MODE 9 D Display backlighting (LIGHT) The receiver has a backlit display with a 5 second timer, for dim light operation. The backlighting can be turned ON con- tinuously, or turned OFF, if desired. (default: AUTO1) • OFF : Never lights. • ON : Lights continuously while receiver power is ON. • AUTO1 : Lights when an operation is performed, goes out after 5 seconds. • AUTO2 : Lights when an operation is performed, goes out after 5 seconds. However, while operating with an external DC power source, the backlight stays ON. D Power save (P SAVE) The power save function reduces the current drain to conserve battery power. This power save function can be turned OFF, if desired. In the default setting "AUTO," the power save function is activated in an approximately 50 msec.: 500 msec. ratio when no signal is received for 5 seconds. The ratio becomes 50 msec.: 1 sec. when no signal is received for another 60 seconds. D Antenna selection (ANT) The earphone antenna is active for all band (except for AM broadcast band) and all receive mode, but it is mostly effective only for the strong signal, such as FM broadcast band, 76.000-107.995 MHz (actual frequency range differs according to the receiver version). When using an ear­phone, the FM antenna setting may cause interference on other bands, and should be turned OFF. The internal bar antenna is active only for the AM broadcast band reception, 0.495-1.620 MHz (actual frequency range differs according to the receiver version). 9 • EXT : U ses the antenna connected to the antenna con- nector. (default) • BAR : U ses the internal bar antenna for the AM broad- cast band reception. (This selection appears only when accessing the Set mode in the AM broadcast band in the AM mode.) • EAR : U ses the connected earphone cable as the antenna for a strong signal reception. (This selection will not appear when accessing the Set mode in the AM broadcast band.) 48

The internal bar antenna is active only for the AM broadcast
band reception, 0.495–1.620 MHz (actual frequency range
differs according to the receiver version).
• EXT
: Uses the antenna connected to the antenna con-
nector.
(default)

: Uses the internal bar antenna for the AM broad-
cast band reception. (This selection appears
only when accessing the Set mode in the AM
