POWER SUPPLY
USING BATTERIES
- Open the battery compartment cover and insert
4 x UM 1 (D size) batteries according to the polarity
diagram imprinted on the battery compartment floor.
- The S-2000 has a battery power indicator in the
LCD. Fresh batteries will show a full power level
of 3 bars. If the indicator shows one bar or the
sound becomes weak and distorted, replace the
batteries.
- The radio will turn off automatically if the batteries
become too weak.
- Check the batteries periodically for leakage. As a
precaution, remove the batteries to prevent possible
leakage if it is to be stored for long periods without Batteries insertion
use.

LISTEN TO THE RADIO
Press the POWER button to turn on the radio, select your band by pressing the FM, MW/LW, SW,
or AIR button.
There are three methods to tune in the radio station:
FM MW LW SW AIR SSB
FAST 0.1MHz 9/10kHz 9kHz 5kHz 0.025MHz 5kHz
SLOW 0.01MHz 1kHz 1kHz 1kHz 0.001MHz 1kHz/BFO
Note: Be sure to fully extend the telescopic antenna when listening to SW, FM and AIR. The
swivel AM (MW/LW) antenna is located at the top of the radio; swivel it for best AM (MW/LW)
reception.
Note:
- No need to enter decimal point for FM and Air Band when input the frequency numbers. For
example, FM 89.0 MHz, Just ENTER 8 9 0 or FM 104.0 MHz, ENTER 1 0 4 0. (or press 8 9
ENTER, and 1 0 4 ENTER).
- For SW band in between 1711~2999kHz, simply input the frequency number then press ENTER
to confirm. For example, SW 2650kHz, just input 2650 ENTER . If SW frequency in between
3000~29999kHz, just input the numbers directly (no need to press the ENTER button to confirm).
- For any mis-typed number, simply press DELETE button to cancel it.
- will appear on the display, when entering any outbound frequency.

A quick press of the LIGHT button which gives about 3 seconds of illumination to the SIGNAL
strength indicator and the display. A long press lights these for as long as the radio is turned on,
so be careful if you're operating on batteries, because it will make them drain faster. If your AC
adapter is connected, it's fine to keep the light on while the radio plays. To turn off it by short
pressing the LIGHT button again.
BW (BANDWIDTH) BUTTON
NARROW bandwidth
Press the FM ST. button when in the FM band to take the radio
in or out of stereo reception mode. When it's in stereo mode,
STEREO appears under the left side of the frequency in the
display, next to FM. As long as you are not using headphones
or earphones, it can be left in mono mode. Stereo shows
Note:
It goes to the lowest frequency of each meter band after your selection.
17
TUNING STEP
When you use the TUNING knob and the / buttons to tune in stations you can select
FAST/SLOW tuning with the STEP button under the tuning knob. Short press the STEP button
with a "B" sound, the tuning step goes SLOW " "; short press the STEP button again with a
"BB" sound, the tuning step goes FAST " ".
RESET BUTTON
The reset button is located in the left under the TUNING knob. Press it only when the radio seems
to stop functioning properly to reboot the unit.
SSB enables listening to shortwave two way communications using the single sideband mode
such as amateur radio, Morse code, Weather-fax transmissions and other signals often referred
to as 'utility' signals.
To use the SSB control, turn on the TECSUN S-2000 and go into Short-wave. Press the SSB
button with a "B" sound and notice that USB appears in the display, to the right of SW.
Press the SSB button again with a "BB" sound and notice that LSB appears to the right of SW.
Press the SSB button with a long "B--" sound, it goes to AM mode and USB or LSB disappears.
USB is the abbreviation for Upper Sideband; LSB is the abbreviation for Lower Sideband. You
can now direct key in the SSB frequency you know to tune in
signals. Also notice that on the lower right front of the radio is
a control knob labeled SSB BFO. BFO stands for Beat
Frequency Oscillator. This control knob is used to fine tune
a sideband signal frequency.
USB or LSB shows
18
LINE OUT SOCKETS
On the back of the radio are the left and right sockets labeled LINE OUT. You can use a
connector with 3.5mm plug to transfer the audio sound to another device.
Rear L
To an amplifier or a recorder.
Note: The line-out output sound level is not controlled by the radio's VOLUME knob.
LINE-IN SOCKET
The LINE-IN socket is on the lower left front of the radio and allows you to route the sound from
another device to the TECSUN S-2000. Use a cord with a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) stereo plug.
455kHZ AM IF OUTLET
There is a 455 kHz AM IF outlet on the back of the radio next to the LINE OUT sockets. It is used
for radio amateurs to connect some devices by DIY (Do It Yourself), ie, synchronous demodulator,
SSB demodulator, software radio (DSP) demodulator, DRM 455/12kHz converter etc.

ANTENNA ATEENUATOR (ANT. ATT.) BUTTON
The ANT.ATT. button, located on the upper right front of the radio, is used to attenuate a signal.
Tune into a station, then press the ANT.ATT. button and notice that the signal strength indicator,
located on the left side of the display, changes at three levels. The maximum level is the highest
gain and the lowest level is minimum gain. Use the lowest level (-20dB) if the signal is extremely
strong and local. Use the intermediate level (-10dB) for average signals and use the highest level
(0dB) for weak signals.
A message alert tone helps you to know which level you select.
Sequentially short press the ANT.ATT. button, a "B" sound
signifies it is lowest level; a "BB" sound signifies it is interm
ediate level; a long "B--" sound signifies it is the maximum level. Antenna Attenuation Indication
RF GAIN CONTROL
On the right front of the radio is the RF Gain control knob. You can leave it fully counterclockwise
in the AUTO position, where it will function automatically, or you can turn it clockwise and use it
manually to control the RF (radio frequency) gain. Using it manually may improve the radio's
rejection of interference from adjacent frequencies that may interfere, especially on Shortwave.
This function does not work in FM.
SQUELCH CONTROL
Using the Squelch control eliminates background noise. This control is used mainly in the FM
and the aircraft band. This control is on the lower right front of the radio. To engage it, turn it on
by turning the knob clockwise. Turn it off by clicking the knob fully counterclockwise.
20
EXTERNAL ANTENNA SOCKETS
The external antenna sockets are used to connect the TECSUN S-2000 to advanced performance
antennas.
FOR MW/LW
On the rotated AM antenna, at the top of radio, is a socket for 50 or 75 Ohm plug-in AM antenna.
A loop antenna or an antenna tuner can be connected to the radio to improve the reception of
MW/LW.
LINE OUT

ATT. TUNE
NOTE: it will cut off the internal AM antenna when an external AM antenna is connected.
FOR FM/SW
On the right side of the radio are the 50 Ohm BNC sockets for FM and Shortwave. 50 or 75 Ohm
coaxial cable can be used to feed the properly designed antenna.
There is also a black and red socket, labeled 500 Ohms, designed to work with a high impedance
Shortwave Antenna, 500 Ohms, such as a long wire antenna. Plug a long piece of wire, 10 to 35
meters or 30 to 100 feet, into the red socket and position it above ground, running in as much a
straight line as possible, not touching any other metal objects. If you do this indoors, position the
wire as close to windows as possible. Plug a 10 to 20 meter or 30 to 60 feet wire into the black
socket and let it run on the floor or ground. Or attach the black socket to a cold water pipe with as
short a piece of wire as possible.
When using external sockets, select EXT. ANT. with the selector switch on the right side of the radio.
When using the internal antennas of the radio, switch it to INT. ANT.
