Finding a station

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the exact frequency of the station you want to listen to, see Tuning directly to a station below. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Memorizing station presets below for more on how to do this.
