Features
Your Realistic DX-375 AM/SW/FM-Stereo PLL Synthesized Receiver lets you choose from a wide variety of broadcasts on FM, AM, and SW (shortwave) bands. The 12 international SW bands let you tune in to the news and other programs from such sources as the British Broadcasting Corporation, Radio Cairo, and Radio Moscow, bring the voices of the world to you. The lightweight, compact receiver lets you take it almost anywhere you go. Its special features include: Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) - ensures accurate tuning. Synthesized Receiver Large, Fast-Response Display - shows the band, frequency, wave length (for SW), memory, battery, and other indicators. Memory Tuning - stores up to 30 frequencies in each band) so you can easily tune to your favorite stations. Direct-Access Tuning - directly tunes to the desired frequency when you enter the frequency on the keypad. Search Tuning - searches up or down the band for the next available station. Memory Scan - scans the stored frequencies in each band's memory. LED Tuning Indicator - lights when the receiver tunes to a signal. Shortwave Quick Select - allows you quick access to any of the 12 shortwave broadcast bands. Key Lock - prevents you from accidentally turning the receiver on or off, changing the band or frequency, or changing other front-panel controls. Sleep Timer - lets you set the receiver to turn off after 60 minutes so you can fall asleep as you listen to the receiver. DX/Local Control - helps to reduce distortion of broadcasts.

Installation
POWER SOURCES
You can power your receiver from: Internal battery power (two alkaline C batteries). Standard household AC power (with an optional AC adapter). Vehicle battery power (with an optional DC adapter). Internal Battery Power You can power the receiver with two C batteries. For best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-551. CAUTION: If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 1 hour, all information stored in memory will be lost. To keep the frequencies stored in memory, keep the batteries installed. Replace the batteries when BATTERY appears on the display. Before you replace the batteries, be sure to turn off the receiver's power. Follow these steps to install the batteries. 1. 2. Push the cover in the direction of the arrow and remove it from the battery compartment. Remove the old batteries and discard them immediately. If you do not plan to use the receiver for a month or more, remove and store the batteries. Never leave dead, old, or weak batteries in the receiver. they can leak chemicals and corrode or damage electronic circuits. Always dispose of them promptly and properly. Never incinerate batteries. 3. Place two C batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ or -) marked beside the compartment. For easy removal, place the batteries on top of the lift-out ribbon. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Never mix fresh and old batteries. 4. Replace the compartment cover.

STANDARD AC POWER
To power your receiver from an AC outlet, you need an AC adapter (such as Cat. No. 273-1654). CAUTIONS: You must use an AC adapter that supplies 3 volts DC power and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to negative, and it must have a plug that properly fits your receiver's DC 3V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage your receiver or the adapter. If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 1 hour, all information stored in memory will be lost. We recommend you keep the batteries installed when you use the AC adapter to protect the memory from a power loss. Follow these steps to power the receiver AC power. 1. 2. 3. 4. Set the adapter's voltage switch to 3V. Connect the adapter's black barrel plug to the adapter's cord with the TIP set to -NEG.

Search Tuning To let the receiver find a station, press and hold <DOWN or UP> for more than 2 seconds. The tuner quickly scans all frequencies. When you release the button, the receiver automatically tunes to the next strong station. Direct Access Tuning To tune directly to a station's frequency, press ENTER. ENTRY flashes for about 10 seconds. While it is flashing, press the number buttons to select the desired station's frequency. Then press ENTER again. NOTES: Your receiver automatically rounds the entered frequency to the nearest valid frequency. For example, if you try to enter a frequency of 1453 in AM, your receiver accepts it as 1450. If you make a mistake in entering a frequency, ERROR flashes on the display. Enter the frequency again. Preset Tuning To tune directly to a station that is entered into memory, simply press the desired preset number (0-9). NOTE: You must first store the desired stations into memory. "Storing Station Frequencies.") (See
Scan Tuning To scan the preset memory locations, press SCAN. The receiver stops at each station for about 5 seconds. To end scanning, press SCAN again, or press a preset station memory button. NOTE: If no frequency is stored in a memory channel or no signal is received at a memory channel, the receiver stops at the memory channel for 1 second and then moves to the next memory channel.
CAUTION:
If you disconnect power from the receiver for about 1 hour, all information stored in memory will be lost. We recommend you keep the batteries installed when you use an AC or DC adapter to protect the memory from a power loss.

Listening Hints
Listening to shortwave radio can be very exciting. Newscasts from a country where important events are taking place give you a sense of immediacy that local newscasts seldom deliver. Although shortwave listening requires no special knowledge, you might enjoy it more if you read some of the numerous books available on this subject. There are also several periodicals that give listening hints and seasonal program schedules. INTERNATIONAL RADIO FREQUENCIES International commercial broadcasts are found in the following bands. Programming (often in English) usually contains news, commentaries, music, and special features reflecting the culture of the broadcasting country. You might find it easiest to hear these broadcasts between 6:00 PM and midnight (your time). NOTE: European stations often list a frequency by giving its wavelength. For example, the 19-meter band refers to the range of frequencies whose waves are about 19 meters long. BAND 120 meter * 90 meter * 75 meter * 60 meter * 49 meter 41 meter ** 31 meter 25 meter 21 meter 19 meter 16 meter 13 meter FREQUENCY RANGE 2300 - 2495 kHz 3200 - 3400 kHz 3900 - 4000 kHz 4750 - 5060 kHz 5950 - 6200 kHz 7100 - 7300 kHz 9500 - 9900 kHz 11650 - 12050 kHz 13600 - 13800 kHz 15100 - 15600 kHz 17550 - 17900 kHz 21450 - 21850 kHz
* These bands are reserved for stations in tropical areas. ** The 41 meter band is shared by ham operators in the United States and international stations. Interference is heavy in this band. FREQUENCY CONVERSION The tuning location of a station can be expressed in frequency (kHz or kHz) or in wavelength (meters). The following information can help you make the necessary conversions.
To convert from kHz to kHz, divide by 1,000. For example: 15500 kHz / 1000 = 15.5 kHz To convert from kHz to meters, divide 300 by the same number of kHz. For example: 300 / 12 kHz = 25 meters TIME STANDARD FREQUENCIES The following frequencies announce the exact tine of day at specified intervals. These signals have many uses in science and technology such as giving the accurate time, verifying frequency calibration, and gaining information on radio propagation conditions.

Your Realistic DX-375 Receiver is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your receiver so you can enjoy it for years. Keep the receiver dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits. Use and store the receiver only in normal temperature environments, and avoid sudden temperature changes. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage the circuit boards and cause the receiver to work improperly. Keep the receiver away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Wipe the receiver with a damp cloth occasionally to keep the product looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the receiver. Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type. Always remove old or weak batteries. They can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits. Modifying or tampering with the receiver's internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate the warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate the receiver. If the receiver is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
