Introduction
The RD500 is a new kind of radio receiver which offers some exciting new features
that may well become commonplace in the future. With the trend towards increasing
chip complexity, and increasing ease of dissemination of information, many
conventional radio memory systems will undoubtedly be replaced by small database
systems that allow the user to find station names and associated information with ease,
and without the inconvenience of complete computer systems.
This manual attempts to show the user how easy it can be to use the RD500 and make
the most of this exiting new radio. We recommend that you read section 3 “Getting
started” which will give a very brief introduction to the RD500’s main features, for
users who are already familiar with receivers. The handbook then describes the
receiver’s functions in detail taking each button in turn. For reasons of safety you
should also read the following chapter.
