5FM/AM BAND SELECTOR

Each time this button is pressed, the radio band is changed. The indication “AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” will appear on the display panel according to your selection.

6 & 7 MANUAL UP/DOWN TUNING SEEK TUNING

To manually select a radio station, momentarily press the Up Tuning ( ) button 6 to advance the unit one digit higher or the Down Tuning ( ) button 7 to tune downward. Pressing either button for longer than 0.5 second will activate the Seek Tuning function and cause the radio to search for stations automatically. The radio will seek the next station and stop at that frequency. Continuing to hold either button will cause the radio to tune rapidly in the selected direction until the button is released.

8AUTO-STORE TUNING (AS)

PRE-SET SCAN TUNING (PS)

During radio operation, press this button momentarily to scan the six stations pre-set into the memories of the AM band or the twelve pre-set memories of the FM bands. The unit will stop at each pre-set station for 5 seconds before continuing to the next pre-set station (the channel indicator number on the display panel will flash). Press the button again momentarily to stop the Pre-Set Scan operation and remain on the selected frequency.

Pressing the button for longer than 1 second will activate the Auto-Store Tuning, which will automatically scan the band and enter up to six strong stations into the pre- set memory positions of that band. If you have already set the pre-set memories to your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store feature will erase those stations and enter the new strong stations. This feature is most useful when traveling in a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.

9STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES

1.Turn the unit on and select the desired band.

2.Select the first station to be pre-set using the Manual Tuning 6 & 7 or Seek functions.

3.Press the pre-set button to be set and continue to hold the button in. The volume will be muted for aproximately 2 seconds and then return. The station is now set into that pre-set button. To recall that station, press the button momentarily.

4.Repeat the above procedure for the remaining 5 pre-sets on the band and for the other 2 bands of the unit.
