Entering Abbreviations

(e.g., station name)

On each station memory location (1 ... 40), a station name (up to 8 positions) which then is indicated in the display can be programmed along with the frequency.

This is possible either when storing the frequency or at a later date. Examples for station names are WARSAW, HELSINKI, BUDAPEST, etc...

The entry is initialized with the A - Z button.

If the hint RDS or ROM TAB appears after having

pressed this button A - Z, entry of the abbreviation is inhibited.

If entry of the name is possible, the radio will continue to play on the chosen station. The cursor will flash at the left in the display.

The TUNE /buttons allow you to enter letters (A- Z), figures (0-9), and several special characters.

Each pressure on the A - Z button moves the cursor one position to the right for entering the next character. A longer pressure on the button moves the cursor to the left thus allowing you to correct a wrong entry.

If you wish to enter spaces or less than 8 positions, use the blank character (between 9 and A).

After having entered the last position, press the A - Z button once again. The cursor disappears and the entry is allocated the station memory location.

When pressing the A - Z button once again, the cursor

reappears at the first position, and you can, for example, correct the entry.

Exiting this function with the CLEAR button:

• The entry is not stored in memory.

When surpassing the timeout of > 15 seconds:

The actual entry is automatically stored in memory.

-If the called up memory location is not programmed with a station, the indication FREE appears for approxi-

mately 2 seconds in the display.

-When calling up stored stations with the numeric buttons, the unit automatically switches to the correct waveband (Intermix function).
