TUNING IN STATIONS

Four Ways to Tune in Stations

Below, four ways to tune stations are described. They are Regular Tuning, Auto-scan Tuning, Direct Frequency Entry and Fine Tuning.

1.REGULAR TUNING (also called manual tuning)

Quick, short presses of the Up/Hour-Down/Min. buttons (5,6) enables tuning up or down frequency.

2.AUTO-SCAN TUNING

Pressing the Up/Hour or Down/Min. buttons (5,6) for just over 1 second enables automatic scan-tuning. The radio will then auto- matically stop on the next station encountered. Use the Up/Hour button to auto-scan upward in frequency and the Down/Min. button to auto-scan downward in frequency.

3.DIRECT FREQUENCY ENTRY

When the desired frequency is known, it can be entered via the numeric keypad (14) and the ‘Enter’ button (13). First, make sure that the correct band is selected - AM, FM or SW.

1.Press/release the ‘Enter’ (13) button.

2.Enter the frequency using the numeric keypad.

Sometimes Shortwave frequencies are designated in megahertz (MHz). If you encounter such a shortwave frequency and it has less than three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15.10 MHz or

6.92MHz), then use the following method to enter it. However, if there are three digits after the decimal point (e.g. 15110 MHz or
