Moving and holding the button upward or downward for longer
than 0.5 seconds will cause the radio to continue tuning rapidly in
the selected direction until the button is released at which point it
will seek to the next available station.
bp AUTO-STORE TUNING (AS)
PRE-SET SCAN TUNING (PS)
During radio operation, press this button momentarily to scan the
6 stations pre-set into the memories of that band. The unit will
stop at each pre-set station for 5 seconds before continuing to the
next pre-set station (the pre-set number on the display panel will
flash during Pre-Set Scan operation). Press the button again
momentarily to stop Pre-Set Scan operation and remain on the
selected frequency.
Pressing the button for longer than 2 seconds will activate the
Auto-Store Tuning feature which will automatically scan the band
and enter up to 6 strong stations into the 6 pre-set memories (the
indication “AST” will appear on the display panel to show that
Auto-Store Tuning is in progress). After entering the stations into
the memories, the unit will automatically stop at each station for 5
seconds so each can be heard. 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.
bq STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES
To set any of the 6 pre-set memories in each band, use the
following procedure:
1. Turn the radio on and select the desired band.
2. Select the first station to be pre-set using the Manual Up/Down
or Automatic Seek Tuning Controls bo.
3. Press the pre-set button to be set and continue to hold it in.
After approximately 2 seconds, the pre-set number of the button
will appear on the display panel, indicating that the station is
now set into that pre-set memory position. The station can now
be recalled at any time by pressing that button.
4. Repeat the above procedure for the remaining 5 pre-sets on that
band and for the other 4 bands on the unit.
br LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel displays the frequency,
time, and activated functions.
NOTE:It is a characteristic of LCD panels that, if subjected to cold
temperatures for an extended period of time, they may take
longer to illuminate than under normal conditions. In
addition, the visibility of the numbers on the LCD may
slightly decrease. The LCD read-out will return to normal
when the temperature increases to a normal range.
bs SPECTRUM ANALYZER DISPLAY
The Spectrum Analyzer Display feature incorporated in this unit
breaks down the audio frequency spectrum into 7 bands and pro-
vides a visual indication of the amount of audio signal within each
of these bands. The instantaneous signal level in each band is
shown by the number of illuminated bars (1 to 9).
