of the tuning buttons (5) - (‘SEEK’ and chevrons indicating the

direction of search appear in the display).

The radio automatically searches the frequency range (either up or

down depending upon which of the tuning buttons is pressed)

station is found, the search stops unless you choose to continue by

pressing the tuning button again.

NOTE: If you have a car telephone with a mute signal output connected
