6 FM/AM BAND SELECTOR
Each time this button is pressed, the radio band is changed. The indication “AM”,
“FM1” or “FM2” will appear on the display panel according to your selection.
7 MANUAL UP/DOWN TUNING
SEEK TUNING
To manually select a radio station, momentarily press the Up Tuning ( ) side of
the button 7 to advance the unit one digit higher or the Down Tuning ( ) side of
the button to tune downward. Pressing either side of the button for longer than 0.5
second will activate the Seek Tuning function and cause the radio to search for
stations automatically. The radio will seek the next station and stop at that frequency.
Continuing to hold the button will cause the radio to tune rapidly in the selected
direction until the button is released.
8 AUTO-STORE TUNING (AS)
PRE-SET SCAN TUNING (PS)
During radio operation, press this button momentarily to scan the five stations pre-
set into the memories of the AM band or the ten pre-set memories of the FM bands.
The unit will stop at each pre-set station for 5 seconds before continuing to the next
pre-set station (the channel indicator number on the display panel will flash). Press
the button again momentarily to stop the Pre-Set Scan operation and remain on the
selected frequency.
Pressing the button for longer than 1 second will activate the Auto-Store Tuning,
which will automatically scan the band and enter up to five strong stations into the pre-
set memory positions of that band. If you have already set the pre-set memories to
your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store feature will erase those stations and
enter the new strong stations. This feature is most useful when traveling in a new area
where you are not familiar with the local stations.
9 STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES
To set any of the 5 pre-set memory buttons, use the following procedure:
1. Turn the unit on and select the desired band.
2. Select the first station to be pre-set using the Manual Tuning 7 or Seek functions.
3. Press the pre-set button to be set and continue to hold the button in. The volume
will be muted for approximately 2 seconds and then return. The station is now set
into that pre-set-button. To recall that station, press the button momentarily.
4. Repeat the above procedure for the remaining 4 pre-sets on the band and for the
other 2 bands of the unit.
