Volume can be adjusted with the G5 turned on or off. Volume can
also be adjusted using the numeric keypad (9).
To adjust the volume with the numeric keypad:
1. Use the numeric keypad (9) to enter the desired volume level
(0-31).
2. Within 3 seconds, press either the + or – VOL button.
USING THE DX/LOCAL SWITCH (46)
The DX/LOCAL switch is located on the left side of the G5 and is
labeled DX/LO. Use DX as the default setting. This gives the G5
maximum sensitivity to signals. If strong stations seem distorted, then
use the local setting (labeled LO). This switch does not function in FM
mode.
SELECTING FM, AM and SHORTWAVE (SW)
Turn on the G5. To select AM press the AM BAND button (11), for FM
press the ‘FM BAND’ button (12) and for shortwave sequentially press
the ‘METERBAND’ button (10) until the shortwave band of your choice
is selected. The last used frequency is automatically displayed. The
most popular shortwave bands can also be accessed with the F1-F7
buttons (F1=49m, F2=41m, F3=31m, F4=25m, F5=22m, F6=19m and
F7=16m).
See more specific information about the G5 and shortwave under the
heading SHORTWAVE WITH THE E5.
SHORTWAVE NOTE: If you’re completely new to shortwave or need
a ‘refresher’, see the special shortwave section toward the end of this
manual.
The frequency digits (33) appear in the lower center portion of the
display. AM and FM is for listening to local stations, while shortwave
brings in stations from around the world.
