AM/FM WORLD-BAND PORTABLE RADIO

Your Realistic DX-390 Receiver brings the voices of the world to you.  In
the 13 international shortwave (SW) bands, you can hear news broadcasts and
other programs from sources such as the British Broadcasting Company, Radio
Cairo, and Radio Moscow.

You can get emergency information firsthand by listening to ham radio
broadcasts.  This includes single sideband (SSB) voice transmissions and
continuous wave (CW) Morse code transmissions.

In the longwave (LW) band, you can sometimes hear hurricane reports,
ship-to-shore calls, and other marine and aeronautical services.

You can tune local broadcasts in the FM and medium-wave (MW) bands. 
(In the United States, we commonly call the MW band the AM band.)

Special features include the following:

PLL Synthesized Receiver-ensures accurate tuning.

Large, Fast-Response Display-shows the time, and frequency, signal
strength, and other indicators.

Dual Time-offers a primary clock, which you can set to your local time,
and a secondary clock, which you can set for UTC (universal time
coordinate-formerly called Greenwich mean time) or to the local time of a
city in another time zone.

Scan Tuning-scans up or down the band for the next available station.

Memory Tuning-stores up to 45 frequencies so that you can quickly select
your favorite stations.

Direct-Access Tuning-tunes to the frequency you enter on the keypad.

Rotary Tuning Adjustment-sets the rotary tuning dial for fast tuning or
fine tuning, or locks the dial to prevent you accidentally changing the
frequency.

Control Lock-prevents you from accidentally turning the receiver on or off.
changing the clock settings, or turning on the sleep timer or alarm
(standby) feature.

Alarm (Standby) Feature-sounds the buzzer or turns on the receiver at a
specified time.

Sleep Timer-turns the receiver off after 60 minutes so that you can fall
asleep as you listen.

MW Step Setting-lets you tune to MW (AM) broadcasts while you visit a
foreign country.

RF Gain Control-sets the receiver's sensitivity for SW stations.

Narrow/Wide Control-reduces interference from other stations in the SW, MW,
and LW bands.

BFO Controls-let you tune to stations that transmit in continuous wave (CW)
and single sideband (SSB).

Three Power Options-let you power the receiver from internal batteries,
standard household AC power (requires an AC adapter), or DC vehicle battery
 power (requires a DC adapter).

Battery Power Indicator-shows you when to replace the batteries when you
power the receiver from internal batteries.

Back-Up Battery Power-keeps the clock running, protects the stations stored
in memory, and powers the display light if the receiver's primary power
source is interrupted.

Stereo Headphone Jack-lets you connect optional stereo headphones so that
you can listen privately and hear FM broadcasts in stereo.

For your permanent records, we recommend you record the serial number of
your receiver in the space provided.  The serial number is located inside
the battery compartment.
