bl AM/FM BAND SELECTOR (BAND)

Each time the BAND button is pressed momentarily, the radio band is changed. The indication AM1, AM2, FM1 or FM2 will appear on the display panel according to your selection.

bm TUNE/SEEK ( / ) BUTTONS

To manually select a radio station, momentarily press the Up Tuning

( ) button to advance the unit higher in 100kHz steps, or the

Down Tuning ( ) button to tune lower in 100kHz steps within the selected band. Pressing and holding either button for longer than 0.5 second will enter the seek mode, thereby causing the radio to rapidly tune in the upward or downward direction, and stop when the respective button is released.

bn LOCAL (LOC) BUTTON

This feature is used to select the strength of the signals at which the radio will stop during Auto-Store Tuning. Pressing this button will select the Local setting (LOC will appear on the display panel) and only strong (local) stations will be received. Pressing the button again will select the normal Distant setting (LOC will disappear from the display panel), and the radio will stop at a wider range of signals, including weaker (more distant) stations.

bo FM MONO/STEREO OPERATION

During FM radio operation, under normal reception conditions, the unit should be left in the stereo mode as indicated by the indication on the display panel when tuned to an FM stereo signal.

If the stereo signal is strong, the indication will be accompanied by the peak signal strength icon (). However, if the stereo signal

is too weak or noisy, the and/or signal strength icon will appear

intermittantly or disappear completely. If the stereo signal is too noisy for comfortable listening, press the LOC button and tune the

radio to a local FM station having a stronger signal; the icon

will reappear on the display.

bp STATION SCAN (SCAN) BUTTON

Press this button momentarily to commence a scan of the stations whose signal strengths are the strongest (each station number will appear flashing on the display panel for 5 seconds during station search). Press the button again momentarily to stop the Scan operation and remain on the current local frequency. If the LOCal mode is active when scan is initiated, strong nearby stations will have precedence over weaker, more distant stations. To return to one of the frequencies preset into the current band, press the desired pre-set button.

bq STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES
