About Station Presets

The Solo XT has 20 station presets. The presets can be used to store either FM or DAB stations. Because of the way the Solo XT places stations in the presets you may want to plan how you store them. Here’s how it works. The fi rst station you store goes into Preset 1. The second station goes into Preset 2 and so on, up to 20 stations. If you remove a preset all the stations in presets above the one you removed, drop down a preset position. The table below gives an example.

It may be helpful to put the presets in some logical order. You could put the FM presets in order of ascending frequency. For example put 89.70 into Preset 1, 90.95 into Preset 2, 93.70 into Preset 3, etc. Or you could assign presets on the basis of how often you listen to them. For example, your favorite station could go into Preset 1, the next favorite into preset 2, etc.
