bm AUTOMATIC UP/DOWN TUNING ( / )

To select a radio station in the automatic mode, momentarily press the

Up Tuning (

) button to advance the unit to the next available

station, or the Down Tuning () button to tune downward to the next available station. The radio will automatically seek the next strongest station. If the Local mode (LOCAL) is active, the radio will seek the next strongest local station when either button is pressed.

bn MANUAL SEEK TUNING

This function is used to search rapidly upward or downward for a desired station. By pressing either tune button for more than 2 seconds, the radio will enter the MANUAL seek mode as displayed momentarily on the panel. When either button is pressed and held in this mode, the radio will tune rapidly up or down and will stop at the station of choice when the button is released. A momentary press of either button in this mode will cause the radio to tune upward or downward one step at a time. If tuning is not activated within 5 seconds of entering the MANUAL mode, the radio will automatically revert to the default AUTO mode as indicated momentarily on the panel.

bo LOCAL/DISTANT SELECTOR (LOC)

This feature is used to select the strength of the signals at which the radio will stop during Automatic Up/Down Tuning. Pressing the button will select the Local setting (LOCAL will appear on the display panel for 5 seconds, and LOC remains on the display) and tuning will select only strong (local) stations for reception. Pressing the button again will select the Distant setting (DX will appear on the display panel for 5 seconds) and the tuning will stop at a wider range of signals, including weaker (more distant) stations. LOC disappears from the display.

bp FM MONO SELECTOR (MONO)

During FM radio operation, this button is used to select mono or stereo reception of the broadcast signal. Under normal reception conditions, the unit should be left in the stereo mode as indicated by STon the display panel when tuned to an FM stereo signal. If the stereo signal is too noisy for comfortable listening, press the MONO button to switch to

mono reception ( the ST indication will disappear from the display panel, MONO will appear for 5 seconds, and MONO will remain at the bottom left of the display). To return to stereo reception mode, press the button again; STEREO will momentarily appear on the display panel for 5 seconds and the ST indication returns.

bq PRE-SET SCAN (PS) AUTO-STORE TUNING (AS)

Press this button momentarily to scan the stations pre-set into the memories on the 3 FM bands or the AM 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 and holding the button for longer than 2 seconds will activate the Auto-Store Tuning feature which will automatically scan and enter up to 6 stations into the 6 pre-set memories on each FM band or the AM band, if selected. After entering the stations into memory, the unit will automatically stop at each station for 5 seconds so each can be heard. Press the AS/PS button again to remain on the desired station. If you have already set the pre-set memories to your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store Tuning feature will erase those stations and enter the new ones. This feature is most useful when traveling in a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.

br 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 Automatic Up/Down bm, or Manual Seek bn Tuning Controls.

3.Press and hold the pre-set button to be set for approximately 2 seconds. The pre-set number 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 3 bands on the unit.
