There are three tuning modes—manual, auto, and high-speed:

Auto tuning: Press and hold TUNE +/– until the frequency display starts to move, then release. The tuner will stop on the next station it finds. Repeat to search for other stations.

Manual tuning: Press TUNE +/– repeatedly to change the displayed frequency.

High-speed tuning: Press and hold TUNE +/– until the frequency display starts to move rapidly. Keep the button held down until you reach the frequency you want. If necessary, fine tune the frequency using the manual tuning method.
