Tuning of Previous Station
●Press rocker switch / 2 down. The radio will automatically seek the previ- ous station.
If the rocker switch / 2 is held down/up, the seek operation continues to be carried out quickly in the corre- sponding direction.
Manual Tuning
It is also possible to tune in stations “by hand” with this radio:
●Press rocker switch <</>> 3 to the left or to the right. The frequency band is scanned in small steps.
Adjusting the Station Seek Sensitivity
You may also modify the sensitivity of the automatic station seek operation.
For this:
●press lo rocker switch <.
If “lo” is indicated, only stations with good reception conditions are captured (lower sensitivity).
If “lo” is not indicated, stations with a weaker reception are also captured (higher sensitivity).
Adjusting the local mode sensiti- vity
In regions with extremely high station densi- ty, e.g. in Italy, the set allows you to switch over the station seek sensitivity for the ocal mode from “High” (adjusted ex works) to “Low”. “Low” means that station seek tuning only captures the most powerful stations.
For modifying the local mode:
●press button lo < longer than 8 secs. The display : shows “L” for “Low”.
By pressing button lo < again longer than
8 secs., the set switches back to “High” (dis- play : “H”).
When switching off the unit or when removing the set with the QuickOut handle the set remains in the last activated mode.
Switching between Stereo and Mono
If you wish to switch between stereo and mono:
●keep the lo button < pressed for long-
er than 2 seconds. The stereo symbol
will appear in the display : if the stereo mode is activated.
The stereo function is activated auto- matically when you turn your set on. The set will automatically switch to mono if reception is poor.
