Tuning

The radio has the following tuning methods: Manual, Seek, Scan,
Preset channel, and Auto memory tuning. The easiest way to tune
stations is to set them on preset channels.
● Manual tuning

Select the station by pressing the tuning button (

)

lightly.

● Seek tuning

Automatic search for radio stations starts when the tuning button
(

) is pressed until a beep sound is heard. The

search stops when a station is found.

● Scan tuning

Press and hold the scan button (

) to automatically sample

strong stations.

Scanning stops at each station for about 5 seconds. To hold a
station, press and hold the scan button (

) again during this

interval.

● Preset channel tuning

The 6 preset channels can be used to store 6 AM and 12 FM sta-
tions.

To set a channel first select AM, FM1, or FM2. Tune to the
desired station.

Press a channel preset button for about 2 seconds until a beep
is heard. The preset channel number or station frequency will
be displayed. The station is now held in the memory.

Repeat this operation for the other stations and bands you
want to store. To tune one in the memory, select AM, FM1, or
FM2 and then press its channel preset button. The station fre-
quency or the channel number will be displayed.

onds until a beep is heard; the system will automatically scan
and temporarily store up to 6 stations with the strongest frequen-
cies in each selected band in that area.

After scanning is completed, the station with the strongest fre-
quency will be tuned and its frequency displayed. Press and
release the auto memory button (

) to recall stations from

the auto-stored stations. One stored station will be selected each
time and its frequency and channel number will be displayed.

■

from STEREO to MONO for reduced noise.

●

If you continue to press and hold the button, the frequency will continue
changing without stopping.
