Tuning to Stations

2. Frequency Tuning in the AM bands

•Select one of the AM bands.

-You will hear the station last tuned to in the respective AM band.

MW and LW

•Tune to the desired station by brief pressures on one of the buttons TUNE △ or TUNE ▽ (19). Each pressure on one of the buttons changes the tuning frequency by 1 kHz.

•Each longer pressure on one of the buttons TUNE △/▽ increases or decreases the frequency tuned to by 9kHz (on MW, this can be changed to 9/10kHz via the menu).

•If a frequency lying outside of the frequency raster has been tuned to before pressing one of the TUNE △/▽ buttons, the unit automatically tunes to the next raster frequency in the respective direction.

•A very long pressure on one of the TUNE △/▽ buttons starts the frequency scan (station search) in the desired direction. Each frequency then will be heard for approx. 1

seconds. Pressing a random button will abort this function.

SW

•A longer pressure on one of the TUNE △/▽ buttons will step 5 kHz down or up within the selected m-band. In the amateur bands, the tuning mode is 1 kHz.

If the current frequency lies beyond the limits of a meter band, the unit automatically tunes to the limit (cut-off) frequency of the next adjacent m-band. When the end of a band is reached, the unit jumps to the beginning of the same band.

A very long pressure on one of the TUNE △/▽ buttons will start an automatic frequency scan in 5/1 kHz steps up or down within the selected meter band. Each raster frequency then will be heard for approx. 1 seconds. Pressing a random button will abort this function.

•Long pressure on the AM button: Switching to the lower limit (cut-off) frequency of the following m-band.

	The display (4) indicates 0 for tuning memory and you hear, the
	station.
Tuning to Stations with the Numeric Buttons	Examples:
(Direct frequency entry)	desired frequency		entry order
For this, you must know the frequency of the station you	99.00	MHz	99	Æ FM/RDS-AF button
wish to tune to. You can find these frequencies in station tables or	99.00	MHz	990	Æ FM/RDS-AF button
radio guides. You can enter the desired frequency in	99.00	MHz	9900	Æ FM/RDS-AF button
MHz or kHz, or as m-band in the case of SW stations.	99.00	MHz	991	Æ FM/RDS-AF button
• Confirm each entry wit the buttons	99.00	MHz	9910	Æ FM/RDS-AF button

FM/RDS-AF for FM or	99.00 MHz	99100 Æ FM/RDS-AF button
AM (17) for LW, MW and SW.	7000 kHz	7000	ÆAM button
On FM: MHz indication
On AM: kHz indication
