XL-35W " Setting the AM/FM interval The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of AM stations and 100 kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2). This product is not equipped with a span selector. However, it will be adjusted to a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval when shipped from the factory. Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval (span) used in your area. To check the tuning span currently selected: 1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on. 2 Press the FUNCTION button until "AM" appears on the display. ! If "AM 531 kHz" is displayed, it means that AM stations have been adjusted for a 9 kHz span and FM stations for 50 kHz span. If "AM 530 kHz" is displayed, AM stations have been adjusted for a 10 kHz span and FM stations for 100 kHz span. To change from a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval to a 10 kHz AM (100 kHz FM) interval: 1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode. 2 Hold down the MEMORY/SET button and the FUNCTION button for at least 4 seconds. Release the buttons when "AM SP 10 kHz" and "FM SP 100 kHz" are displayed alternately. ! The clock display will reappear. Preparation for Use To return to a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval: 1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode. 2 Hold down the MEMORY/SET button and the FUNCTION button for at least 4 seconds. Release the buttons when "AM SP 9 kHz" and "FM SP 50 kHz" are displayed alternately. ! The clock display will reappear. Caution: ! When the unit is left for a few hours after the span has been switched and the AC power lead disconnected, the AM span will be automatically returned to 9 kHz (FM span to 50 kHz). If this happens, set the span again. ! When the span is switched, all the memorised stations will be cancelled. 10 02/11/22 XL_35W_SCA_1.fm
