Tuning to an FM or AM station

Tune / Track

Press the Tune/Track arrow button once to automatically seek the next clear station.

Tap the Tune/Track arrow button repeatedly to tune one frequency at a time.

Hold down the Tune/Track arrow button to tune rapidly.

About FM Reception

FM signals are like TV signals. One antenna orientation may be best for one station but not for another. The straight wire antenna supplied with your MicroSystem CD is conveniently small. It should be extended to its full length, placed as far away from the power cord as possible, and oriented for best reception. If reception is weak, try changing the position of the wire antenna. Be sure not to run it along the power cord, as this will substantially decrease the signal reception.

If reception is still weak, you can improve it by connecting an external antenna. Your authorized Boston dealer or Boston’s Technical Support Department can suggest solutions. In addition, many Cable TV systems provide an FM feed that can be connected to the MicroSystem CD via its standard Type-F antenna connection. See page 16.

About AM Reception

MicroSystem CD has a built-in AM antenna. If reception is weak, try rotating the system clockwise and counterclockwise to improve signal strength. If this does not solve the problem, you can improve AM reception by connecting an external AM antenna. See page 17.

You can store any station by holding down any one of the numbered Preset buttons for 3 seconds until the MicroSystem CD beeps. The display will show the Preset number. Pressing its Preset button will recall the station and will turn on the MicroSystem CD if it is off. Each Preset button can store one station for AM and another for FM.

Once stored, you can select the same station by quickly tapping this Preset button twice.
