FREQUENCY TUNING Mode

If this is not the desired station, repeat the automatic tuning procedure to find the next station. Weak stations will be skipped during auto tuning. If no receivable signal is detected, the tuner will revert to the last previously tuned station.

A signal strength in- dicator shows the strength of an incoming signal. A TUNED indicator lights when a sufficiently strong signal is received. An “ST” indicator lights when a stereo FM sig- nal is received. In addition, indicators show the currently selected tuning mode.
