SETTING UP THE RADIO FOR AM BAND TUNING

AM stations in North, Central and South America are spaced in 10 kilohertz tuning intervals. Other parts of the world use 9 kilohertz tuning intervals. The selector switch is located on the top-left of the radio 16 .

To set the radio up for 10 kilohertz tuning, turn the radio off. Then slide the selector switch to the left. Then turn the radio on.

To set the radio up for 9 kilohertz tuning, turn the radio off. Then slide the selector switch to the right. Then turn the radio on.

HOW TO USE THE RADIO

Turn the radio on. Each press of the BAND button 5 causes AM, FM or SW to appear in the left side of the display. Frequencies are displayed as numbers in the display. AM frequencies are in Kilohertz; FM and SW frequencies are in Megahertz. Extend the antenna 1 when listening to FM or shortwave. It need not be extended when listening to AM stations.

Note: a detailed example on how to tune shortwave is given later in this man-

ual. See USING YOUR FOR SHORTWAVE LISTENING.

HOW TO TUNE MANUALLY

Turn the radio on. Make sure that the AUTOSCAN feature is not engaged (see below). Select FM, AM or SW. Use quick, short presses of the +/- buttons to move up or down frequency. The + button is used to tune up frequency, the - button is used to tune down frequency. If your previous radios had a tuning knob, these buttons perform the same function, but in a much more efficient, precise manner.

HOW TO USE THE AUTOSCAN FEATURE

Turn the radio on. Select FM, AM or SW. Press-and-release the AUTOSCAN but- ton 6 once. 'AUTOSCAN' appears in the upper left of the LCD. Then press-and- release either the + or - tuning button 3 , 4 . The + button is used to autoscan up frequency, the - button is used to autoscan down frequency. The tuner will automatically stop on stations. To deactivate the autoscan feature, press-and- release the AUTOSCAN button 6 . 'AUTOSCAN' will disappear from the LCD.

HOW TO STORE STATIONS INTO MEMORY

There are 30 memories, 10 each for FM, AM and SW. Turn the radio on, then tune to the station that you wish to store into memory. Press-and-release the STORE button 8 . A memory digit will flash in the upper right corner of the LCD

2. Then decide which of the 10 memories to store it into. To store it, press the CH-UP button 7 until it reaches your flashing chosen memory channel, on the top right of the LCD 2 . Then press-and-release the STORE button 8 again.

HOW TO OVERWRITE THE CONTENTS OF A MEMORY

Store a new frequency into it, using the procedure outlined above. Memories are never empty, or blank, therefore it is best to store a known station into each memory position.

HOW TO ACCESS WHAT YOU HAVE STORED INTO MEMORY

Turn the radio on. To access a station that you have stored into memory, press- and-release the CH-UP button 7 until you reach the station that you wish to hear. The station's frequency and the memory number will appear in the display. To auto-scan the memories, press the CH-UP button 7 for two seconds, then release it. The scanner will stop on each memory for about 5 seconds, then move on. To stop the scan, press-and-release the CH-UP button 7 .
