Pre./Dir
The Pre./Dir button determines whether the numbered buttons 0 through 9 will operate as a keypad for entering station numbers directly, or as presets (A, B, C) used to select stations. The unit informs the operator by displaying the selected mode (DIRECT, PRESET A, PRESET B, PRESET C) on the top line of the display.
Numbered Buttons 0-9
The numbered buttons (0 through 9) provide the operator with a means of selecting stations by entering the station number when the unit is set to DIRECT, or selecting preas- signed stations when the unit is set to operate in PRESET (A, B, C).
Direct
When the unit is set to operate in this mode, station selection can be accomplished by entering its number directly. (e.g., to select station #23, press 23.) The unit will display the fol- lowing screen and change to the desired station 2 seconds later.

The unit has the capability of storing three sets of 10 preassigned stations for a total of 30 preassigned stations. To assign a station to a number button, tune in the desired station and hold down the desired number button until the unit signals acceptance by issuing one short beep and displaying a screen to confirm for about 1 second.
