Step 26: Adjust the position of the battery box. Do not place the wires under the battery box. The wires can be moved to both ends of the battery box.

Step 27: Fix other acrylic plate by 6pcs M3*6mm Screw and 6pcs M3 Nut.

Step 28: Connect to power supply and enjoy the effect.

Step 2: Using Methods

1.Keep press AUTO button to automatically search and store the radio stations that can be listened to.

2.Automatically name searchable stations like P01,P02,P02 and so on.

3.Press P+ and P- to switch saved stations.

4.Press V+ and V- to adjust volume from V00 to V30.

5.Switch Campus Broadcasting Band: Keep press V+ and V- before power ON and then turn ON work power switch. It means enable Campus Broadcasting Band if display C1 on LCD. It means disable Campus Broadcasting Band if display C0 on LCD.Available after restart.

6.Enable backlight mode: Keep press P+ and P- before power ON and then turn ON work power switch. It means keep backlight ON if display B1 on LCD. It means the backlight will turn OFF after 20second if display B0 on LCD(This is the power saving mode).Available after restart.

7.It can output audio from speaker and earphone jack. The speaker of the module does not work when the earphone is connected

Step 3: Some Function and Operation About the Radio
