in tamworth at my parents house, this little portable battery radio has become my main means of background noise when chilling outside (as you can tell from the many marks and scratches). however, the labels are quite confusing - the larger wheel on the side is for tuning, while the smaller controls the volume and doubles as the on/off switch. the top switch is in fact for changing the band ie AM/FM...as the volume switch, although having the vol symbol underneath, is not labelled as the on/off switch, confusion arises concerning the FM/AM switch. when first using the radio, i could not figure out how to turn it on, as the FM/AM switch looks more like an ON/OFF switch. this is why my redesign proposes labelling ALL switches, and furthermore positioning the FM/AM switch next to the tuning dial to avoid confusion.
