Before connecting the radiola to the network, check whether the incl

To switch the radio to the desired mains voltage, it is necessary to remove the switch block located on the cove
position where the arrow of the block points to the number of the desired voltage.

Insert the block firmly into the sockets. Make sure that the fuse is ins
The fuse must be factory-made with the stamp "PC-1 A".
Do not replace the factory fuses with homemade wire fuses - this can ruin the radiola.
Check the presence and correct inclusion of radio tubes and scale lighting bulbs, using fig. 1 in the text.
Do not turn on the radiola without a back wall!

The ANTENNA is connected to a spring clip located on the rear wall

Remember that on the shortwave bands, tuning into a station is most difficult, since the stations are “tight” and ta

VIII. GROUNDING
A radiola receiver can work well without grounding at all, but in
interference.
A good ground should have as little wire length as possible from the ground to the receiver.
It can be done in one of the following ways.
a) connect the receiver with a wire to a water supply or central heating pipe. The junction of the wire with the pip
b) bury a sheet of metal in the ground or hammer a metal rod with a soldered wire. It is better if the metal is
sufficient.
Remember that poor grounding, a long wire that has high resistance, or poor contact will only increase the amoun

XI. RADIO CARE
Remember that the radiola is a complex technical device that requires careful and careful handling.

4. Radiola is designed to be powered by a standard 50-period alternating current network of three voltages: 110,
no more than + 10-15% of the nominal.
5. If you are using an outdoor antenna, remember to stop receiving and ground the antenna during thunderstorms
6. Do not leave the radiola turned on unattended for an indefinitely long time - this can cause damage to the radio
7. Do not put the radiogram in damp rooms, as well as in the sun or near hot stoves - both are equally harmful to
