HOW TO USE THIS DICTIONARY, IX-2

You will find this Radio and Electronic Dictionary
a valuable reference text. Keep it handy. As you
advance in your Course and come across a term that
you know was explained in an earlier book but whose
meaning has begun to fade, just look it up. In reading
magazine or other radio articles or in discussions when
you find new, strange expressions, look them up, too.

Do not be concerned, as you glance through this ref
erence book for the first time, if you find many new
and strange words and expressions. Later on, they will
have greater meaning. Do not try to memorize the
definitions given, nor try to read this book as a regular
text. This would lead only to confusion.

Remember, a technical dictionary is not an encyclo-
pedia, so don't look for complete explanations which
belong in the Course itself. Nor will you expect to find
definitions of non-technical words for which you should
turn to an ordinary dictionary.

Properly used, your Radio Dictionary will save you
time and prove its value many times over.
