When either button is pressed and held in this mode, the radio will tune rapidly up or down and will stop at the station of choice when the button is released. A momentary press of either button in this mode will cause the radio to tune upward or downward two digits at a time. If tuning is not activated within 5 seconds of entering the MANUAL mode, the radio will automatically revert to the default AUTO mode as indicated momentarily on the panel.

bo LOCAL/DISTANT SELECTOR (LOC) This feature is used to select the strength of the signals at which the radio will stop during Automatic Up/Down Tuning. Pressing the button will select the Local setting (LOCAL will appear on the display panel for 5 seconds) and tuning will select only strong (local) stations for reception. Pressing the button again will select the Distant setting (DX will appear on the display panel for 5 seconds) and the tuning will stop at a wider range of signals, including weaker (more distant) stations.

bp FM MONO SELECTOR (MONO)

During FM radio operation, this button is used to select mono or stereo reception of the broadcast signal. Under normal reception conditions, the unit should be left in the stereo mode as indicated by ST and the associated signal strength indicator on the display panel when tuned to an FM stereo signal. If the stereo signal is too noisy for comfortable listening, press the MONO button to switch to mono reception (the ST indication will disappear from the display panel). To

return to stereo reception mode, press the button again; the ST indication is displayed.

bq AUTOMATIC STORE/PRESET SCAN (AS/PS)

Press this button momentarily to scan the stations pre-set into the memories on the 3 FM bands or the AM band. The unit will stop at each pre-set station for 5 seconds before continuing to the next pre-set station (the pre-set number on the display panel will flash during Pre-Set Scan operation). Press the button again momentarily to stop Pre-Set Scan operation and remain on the selected frequency.

Pressing and holding the button for longer than 2 seconds will activate the Auto-Store Tuning feature which will automatically scan and enter up to 6 stations into the 6 pre-set memories on the band in use. After entering the stations into the memories, the unit will automatically stop at each station for 5 seconds so each can be heard. If you have already set the pre-set memories to your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store Tuning feature will erase those stations and enter the new ones. This feature is most useful when travelling in a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.
