Radio Operation

Last Station Memory

Each FM bank and AM band has its own last station memory which holds last-tuned frequency for that band or bank irrespective of whether that frequency is stored into a preset.

Selecting Bands

Press SRC as needed to access FM1, FM2, FM3/FMT, AM/AMT banks.

Seek Tuning

Press /\ or V to seek next receivable frequency. Tuning stops at frequency that fulfills sensitivity requirements predetermined by sensitivity set through SENS/LD button.

Tuning Sensitivity (SENS)

Press SENS/LD for more that 2 seconds to switch between local (lo) and distant search sensitivity.

Radio Reception Hints

•When listening to weak or distant AM stations, adjusting the Treble to minimum (-7) will reduce noise and improve sound.

•In general, set SENS to DX if in rural areas or where stations tend to be weak and distant, and to LO when in metropolitan areas or where stations tend to be strong and local.

Stereo Symbol

Stereo symbol turns on if a stereo station with an incoming signal of at least 20 dB∝V is received. The unit gradually switches between mono to stereo automatically.

Manual Tuning

Press /\ or V for more than 1/2 second and frequency will go one channel/step in direction pressed. Press and hold causes continuous manual tuning. Unit returns to seek tuning mode after 4 seconds or after storing a station on a preset.

In any FM Bank, press SCA/TS for 2 seconds to activate FM Travel Store. (In AM Bank, press it for 2 seconds to activate AM Travel Store.) TS appears. Beginning at the bottom of the band, TS stores five relatively strong stations and returns to preset 1. Pressing any tuning-related button cancels search operation.
