Compact Disc Radio
The Compact Disc Radio combines the Electronic
Stereo Radio with the Ford Compact Disc Player.
Using the Controls on Your New Radio/CD
Player
Most of the features of this unit work for both
radio and CD operation, depending on which
mode the unit is in. Also, some of the buttons
control several different functions, so be sure to
read all of the operating instructions carefully.
How to turn the radio on and off
Press the “POWER” button to turn the radio on.
Press it again to turn it off.
How to adjust the volume
Press the (
R
/
S
) side of the “VOL” button to
increase/decrease the volume. Bars illuminate in
the display to show the relative volume level.
NOTE:
If the volume level is set above a
certain listening level when the
ignition switch is turned off, when the
ignition switch is turned back on, the
volume will come back to a “nominal”
listening level. However, if the radio
power is turned off, the volume will
remain in the position it was set at
when radio power was switched off.
Selecting the AM or FM frequency band
Push the “AM/FM” button to select the desired
frequency band. When in the radio mode,
pushing the button more than once will alternate
between AM, FM1 and FM2. These functions are
used with the station memory buttons described
under
How to tune radio stations
.

How to tune radio stations
There are four ways for you to tune in a
particular station. You can manually locate the
station using the “SCAN/TUNE” button,
“SEEK” the station, “SCAN” to the station or
select the station by using the memory buttons,
which you can set to any desired frequency.
These four methods are described below.
❑
Using the “SCAN/TUNE” button to manually
tune
You can change the frequency up or down
one increment at a time (FM changes in
increments of 200kHz; AM changes in
increments of 10kHz) by first pressing the
“SCAN/TUNE” button twice (display shows
“TUNE”), then —
within approximately five
seconds
—pressing and releasing either the
top (
b
) or bottom (
a
) half of the “SEEK”
button. To change frequencies quickly, press
and
hold down
either the top or bottom half
of the “SEEK” button.
Manual tuning adjusts your radio to any
allowable broadcast frequency, whether or
not a station is present on that frequency.
(See
All About Radio Frequencies
in this
section.)
❑
Using the “SEEK” function
This feature on your radio allows you to
automatically select listenable stations up or
down the frequency band. Press the top (
a
)
half of the “SEEK” button to select the next
listenable station up the frequency band.
Press the bottom (
b
) half of the button to
select the next listenable station down the
frequency band. By pressing and holding the
button, listenable stations can be passed over
to reach the desired station.

❑
Using the “SCAN/TUNE” button to scan
radio stations
Pressing the “SCAN/TUNE” button once
enters the scan mode (display will indicate
“SCN”). Pushing the top (
a
) half of the
“SEEK” button will begin the scan mode up
the frequency band, stopping on each
listenable station for approximately five
seconds. Pushing the bottom (
b
) half of the
“SEEK” button will begin the scan mode
down the frequency band, again stopping on
each listenable station for approximately five
seconds.
To stop the scan mode on the presently
sampled station, press the “SCAN/TUNE”
button again.
❑
Setting the Station Memory Preset buttons
Your radio is equipped with 5 station
memory buttons. These buttons can be used
to select up to 5 preset AM stations and 10
FM stations (5 in FM1 and 5 in FM2). Follow
the easy steps below to set these buttons to
the desired frequencies.
1.
Select a band, then select a frequency.
2.
Press one of the memory preset buttons and
hold the button until the sound returns. That
station is now held in memory on that
button.
3.
Follow the two steps above for each station
memory preset button you want to set.
NOTE:
If the vehicle’s battery is disconnected,
the clock and station memory preset
buttons will need to be reset.
