If an AM program is noisy

Adjust the direction of the AM loop antenna for optimum reception.

If you cannot tune in a station and the entered numbers are flashing

Make sure you have entered the right frequency. If not, reenter the frequency you want.

If the entered numbers still flash, the frequency is not used in your area.

If you enter a frequency not covered by the tuning interval

The entered value is automatically rounded up or down to the closest covered value.

Tuning intervals for Direct Tuning are: FM: 50 kHz intervals

AM: 10 kHz intervals
