Remove the battery compartment’s cover by pushing the
cover in the direction of arrow. Install two ‘AA’ batteries
according to the polarity. For easy removal, place the bat-
teries on top of lift out ribbon. If the sound becomes low
or distorted, replace with new batteries. If the radio will
not be used for a long time, remove all the batteries to
prevent possible battery leakage.

10 INTRODUCTION TO SHORTWAVE
Shortwave enables you to hear stations from around the
world. Now that you have a shortwave radio, no doubt
you’ll want to hear worldwide stations right away. If
you’re new to shortwave, please take some time to learn
the basics outlined below. To successfully listen to short-
wave stations you must know how to find them. They are
found in the shortwave ‘bands’. On the Mini 300, the
shortwave bands are numbered 1-7. The chart below and
the one on the back of the radio show the relationship of
bands 1-7 to their official names and the frequency ranges
covered by them.

12 GUIDELINES
MINI 300PE OPERATION MANUAL
15
14
HERE ARE SOME GENERAL GUIDELINES
• In general, the bands with frequencies below 13 MHz
are better at night and the bands with frequencies
above 13 MHz are best during the day. This guideline,
while approximate, is a useful general rule of thumb.
• During the day, listen in SW5-7. These may start getting
good just before sunrise and may stay good all day, until
just after sunset.
• At night, listen in SW1-4. These may start getting good
just before sunset and may stay good all night, until just
after sunrise.
• Around sunrise and sunset, both the day and night
bands might be good, sometimes exceptionally good.
• Winter shortwave is generally somewhat better than
summer shortwave.
• Holding the radio while listening to shortwave will
improve signal strengths.
GUIDELINES continued
• Getting close to a window may substantially improve
your reception because the construction materials of
some buildings do not let signals in very well. Signals
penetrate wood frame buildings easiest, while con-
crete and brick buildings usually block signals. If you
are in a building with one or more stories above you,
signals can also be impaired in strength. In such a sit-
uation, get as close to a window as possible while
listening.
• These guidelines can be used worldwide and are not
dependent on location.
13 STATION
HOW TO IDENTIFY WHAT YOU’RE
LISTENING TO AND HOW TO FIND
STATIONS THAT YOU WANT TO HEAR
For this, you’ll need to use a shortwave directory. We rec-
ommend the use of a comprehensive shortwave directory,
especially if you want to hear specific countries or to iden-
tify the station you’re listening to. Such a directory will
alphabetically list the countries broadcasting on short-
wave, showing their language, target area, broadcast time
and frequency that is used. The easiest to use shortwave
directory is PASSPORT TO WORLD BAND RADIO, available
in major bookstores and directly from the publisher.
