Tuning

Automatic Tuning

Press the >> button (14) to tune upward in frequency and the << button (13) to tune downward in frequency. The unit will automatically stop at the next strong station. If the Local mode is active, the radio will seek the next strong local station when either button is pressed.

Manual Tuning

Press the >> (14) or << (13) button for more than two seconds to select manual tuning mode. “MANUAL” will appear in the display. Press the Up or Down Tuning buttons to move radio frequency up or down two digits at a time. Press and hold the Up or Down Tuning buttons to quickly advance to a certain frequency. Release when the desired frequency is reached. If tuning is not adjusted within five seconds of entering manual tuning mode, the radio will revert to automatic tuning and “AUTO” will appear in the display.

Preset Stations

Up to six stations on each band can be stored as presets and can then be instantly recalled by pressing the associated preset button on the front panel (19-24) or remote control. To store a station, turn the radio on and select the desired band and station. Press and hold the desired preset button (numbered one through six on the face of the radio or remote control) for more than two seconds. When stored, the preset number will appear in the display. The station is now stored and can be recalled at any time by pressing the corresponding preset button. Repeat for the remaining five presets on the current band and for all presets on the other three bands.

Preset Scan/Automatically Store (PS/AS)

Automatically Store

Select six strong stations and store them for the current band using the Automatic Store feature. To enable this feature, press and hold the PS/AS button (17) for more than two seconds. The radio will automatically scan each band and enter strong stations into the preset memory positions. After entering the stations into memory, the unit will automatically stop at each station for five seconds so each can be heard. When using the Automatically Store

feature, the new stations replace any stations already stored in preset memory.

Preset Scan

Press the PS/AS button (17) to scan the six preset stations in the AM band or all FM bands. The unit will stop at each station for five seconds before continuing to the next preset station, and the preset number will flash on the display during the preset scan. Press PS/AS again to stop scanning and listen to the current station.
