bo PRE-SET SCAN (PS) / AUTO-STORE TUNING (AS)
Press this button momentarily to scan the stations pre-set into each AM band and each FM band. The unit will stop at each pre- set station for 10 seconds before continuing to the next pre-set station (the pre-set station 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 (AS) Tuning feature which will automatically scan and enter up to 6 local area stations into the pre-set memories on the band in use. LOC will be displayed during station selection. 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 local ones. This feature is most useful when traveling in a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.
bp STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES
To set any of the 6 pre-set memories in each band, use the following procedure:
1.Turn the radio on and select the desired band.
2.Select the first station to be pre-set using the TUNE/TRACK or Auto-Store (AS) Controls.
3.Press the pre-set button to be set and continue to hold it in for approximately 2 seconds. The pre-set number (CH 1-6)
will appear on the display panel, indicating that the station is now set into that pre-set memory position. The station can now be recalled at any time by pressing that button.
4.Repeat the above procedure for the remaining 5 pre-sets on that band and for the other 4 bands on the unit.
bq LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel displays the frequency, time, and activated functions.
NOTE: It is a characteristic of LCD panels that, if subjected to cold temperatures for an extended period of time, they may take longer to illuminate than under normal conditions. In addition, the visibility of the numbers on the LCD may slightly decrease. The LCD read-out will return to normal when the temperature increases to a normal range.
br FUNCTION DISPLAY
The Function Display consists of a seven-section semi-circular bar graph, with each section containing nine segments which provide a visual representation of the volume level. The volume level is represented by the number of segments in each graph. As the volume is increased, the number of illuminated segments will increase.
bs AUXILIARY (AUX) INPUT SELECTION
The radio is equipped with auxiliary audio input connectors
