symbol will appear on the screen. You can now enter numbers and letters (letters are located above the number keys) to spell a channel’s call sign. For example, to tune to ESPN, press the key

sequence ACTION — 2 7 6 5 . All special symbols such as the ampersand (&), forward slash (/), exclamation point (!), and others are found in the 0 key. As soon as the receiver can determine what channel you are seeking, it will tune to it automatically. No additional keys need to be pressed.

If the channel call sign contains fewer than four letters, you may need to press the SELECT key after the letter sequence to indicate that you have entered enough letters. If more than one channel call sign shares the same set of keys (for example, CNN and COM both use 155), one channel

will be displayed. If that is not the channel you want, press ACTION	—	ACTION	— , one after
the other, and the next channel sharing the same set of keys will appear.

With experience, you will become more familiar with the channel name abbreviations that are used.
