How to tune in
The modes for receiving FM broadcasts consists of “Auto” mode that automatically searches available
broadcast stations and “Manual” mode that lets you tune in using buttons to change the frequency. The
default setting is “Auto”. You can also use “Direct Tune” to tune in by entering the frequency directly.
In “Auto” mode, you cannot tune in to radio stations if the reception is not good. If this is the case, then
use the “Manual” mode or “Direct Tune” to tune in.
