Philco Model 40.L24 is a six tube superheterodyne radio for operation on either alternating
current (A.C.) or direct current (D.C.) supply. It covers frequency ranges from'540 kilocycles
to 1600 kilocycles (Kc.) and from 1.6 to 3.3 megacycles(Mc.).
The broadcast scale is calibrated in kilocycles (less the 6nal zero). Standard broadcaet
stations are listed in kilocycles in most station lists.
The police band is calibrated in megacycles. A megacycle is 1,000 kilocycles.
The power rating of this model is marked on a name label in the cabinet. Make sure that
this rating corresponds with the power furnished your home.

INSTATTATION
After unpacking the radio make sure all the tubes are in their correct sockets pressed 6rmly
down. A label inside the cabinet will show the r€lative location of the tubes. NOTE: Tubes
may be removed by rocking them gently in their sockets until the center locking pin is released.
A twenty foot indoor aerial wire is provided with the radio. Uncoil this wire and place it
around the baseboard moulding or under the rug. For best reception_in steel-reipf.qrc,ed_bgil* , - -
