POWER SUPPLY  
Batteries  
AC Main Adapter (not included)  
You can connect the set to the mains using  
a mains adapter.  
·
Open the battery compartment and insert 3 alkaline  
batteries of the type R6, UM 3 or AA.  
Only use a mains adapter, which supplies  
4.5V DC with the negative pole at the  
center pin of the plug.  
·
Remove the batteries when they are exhausted or if they  
are not going to be used for a long period of time.  
Before connecting the mains adapter  
Note: If the DC 4.5 V socket is in use, the battery supply  
will switch off automatically.  
Note on Environmental Protection  
Do not throw exhausted batteries in the household refuse.  
Hand over the old batteries to you deader or public  
collecting when buying new ones.  
·
·
·
Check that the mains voltage indicated on the type  
plate of the adapter matches your local mains voltage.  
If the mains adapter equipped with a voltage selector,  
set this to the local voltage.  
Connect the mains adapter to the DC 4.5V socket of  
the set and to the wall socket.  
Warning for weak batteries:  
When the batteries run low, the sound volume declines  
Power failure  
·
If the power supply is interrupted, the programmed time  
settings and preset radio stations will be kept in the  
gradually. The indication  
appears on the display.  
Continued operations with low batteries cause the radio to  
turn off automatically, other malfunctioning and losing  
programmed time settings and preset radio stations. In this  
case, remove the batteries and press a paper clip through  
the RESET hole.

To prevent that the radio is switched on accidentally, use  
the LOCK-switch when packing the radio or putting it away.  
 
GENERAL  
Time zones  
Short Wave (SW)  
The earth rotates around its axis in 24 hours and around  
the sun In one year.  
Your world receiver can receive a number of wavebands.  
Most of these are known and tuning for the required station  
will soon become a matter of routine, as the stations are  
always to be found at the same place on the dial and are  
thus tied to a fixed wavelength and frequency. With short  
wave this is unfortunately not always the case. Short wave  
transmitters have to change their wavelengths fairly often.  
In the short-wave range between 10 and 100-metre  
wavelength (frequencies of 30-3 MHz resp.) nine bands  
between 10 and 50 metres are allocated to short-wave  
broadcasting, with another four bands between 60 and 120  
metres for broadcasting in the earth’s tropical areas. The  
latter are roughly located between the latitudes of 30° north  
and 30° south, i.e. around the equator. Most short-wave  
broadcasting bands, indicated in the shortwave table, are  
allocated for the whole world and can be used for  
international broadcasting. They are so far the only  
wavelengths which allow direct radio reception over long  
distances. So in addition to the broadcasting services,  
there are a large number of other users of short wave, for  
example radio amateurs, shipping and aviation, radio  
navigation etc.  
These movements are responsible for the time differences  
and the seasons on earth. Due to the direction of rotation  
of the earth it is always earlier in the day to the west of  
where you are and later in the day to the east of where you  
are.  
The earth is divided into 24 time zones with a difference of  
one hour between adjacent zones. The system is based on  
one standard time zone, namely UTC (Coordinated  
Universal Time), previously GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).  
Generally speaking, short-wave stations announce their  
broadcasts in UTC.  
To check which time zone you are now at, use the world  
map on the back of the set.  
SW Tuning mode (meter band/continuous).  
Your G-2000A has  
a
built-in SW frequency (SW  
FREQ.) tuning mode selection switch inside the battery  
compartment.  
·
Select A, if you only want to get reception for the  
stations with the frequency within the meter-bands.  
Select B, in case you wish to obtain the frequencies  
in between the gaps of the meter bands.  
·
 
RADIO RECEPTION  
AM STEP selector (MW)  
Radio reception  
The minimum 'frequency distance' (span division) between  
adjacent radio stations (measured in kHz) is standardized  
all over the world.  
However, North and South America use another standard  
than the rest of the world.  
This means that the radio should use a tuning step  
according to the standard concerned in order to obtain  
accurate radio tuning.  
The AM STEP switch (in the battery compartment) allows  
accurate tuning for both standards.  
Position 10kHz for the Americas  
- MW tuning step 10kHz;  
·
·
Ensure that the LOCK-switch is off.  
Press POWER to switch the radio on.  
- The frequency and the wave band will appear on the  
display.  
Adjust the volume with the VOLUME control.  
·
·
You can connect headphones to the earphone socket  
- The loudspeaker will then be switched off.  
·
·
Set the wave range with the FM MW SW1 SW2 switch  
If you select SW with the FM MW SW1 SW2 switch,  
press METER to select the required meter band of short  
wave (see the SW Tuning Table  
on page 2).  
Position 9 kHz for the rest of the  
world  
- MW tuning step 9 kHz;  
- The chosen short-wave band and  
the frequency will appear on the  
display.  
·
Tune to a radio station either manually, automatically,  
directly or with the PRESET buttons, see Next page.  
Aerials  
·
For FM reception extends the telescopic aerial fully. To  
improve the reception you can incline and rotate the  
aerial. If the FM signal received is too strong (in the  
direct vicinity of the transmitter) you can retract the  
aerial.  
FM MONO/STEREO  
- When '  
' appears on the display, you are receiving an  
FM stereo transmitter. If you are listening with headphones,  
·
·
For the medium wave (MW), the set has a built-in aerial,  
so the telescopic aerial is not needed. You can direct the  
aerial by turning the set itself.  
For short wave reception (SW) extend the telescopic  
aerial and position it vertically.  
you will hear the FM station in stereo.  
·
A disturbing noise, due to a weak FM stereo signal, can  
be suppressed by setting MONO/STEREO to MONO.  
- The '  
station in mono.  
Press POWER once again to switch the radio off.  
- The display will now indicate the current time.

RADIO RECEPTION  
Tuning to a station  
Preset radio stations  
There are three possibilities for tuning in to a station:  
- Automatically - the stations are sought automatically.  
- Manually - This is easy if the frequency of the station is  
already known (e.g. from your radio and television guide).  
- Directly - The easiest way to obtain a station if its  
frequency is already known.  
You can program 20 stations into the memory, 5 on each  
waveband.

Alarm function  
Your G-2000A allows you to set two different times: HOME  
and DUAL. Normally, the HOME time has priority. You can  
also set the DUAL time to be displayed constantly.  
You can use your world receiver as an alarm clock. To use  
this function you first have to set the alarm time. You will be  
woken with a bleep, or by the radio.
