Antenna system
Printed antennaThe antenna is printed on the inner sur-
face of the rear window glass.

FM receptionAlthough FM is normally static free, recep-
tion can be affected by the surrounding ar-
ea, atmospheric conditions, station
strength and transmitter distance. Build-
ings or other obstructions may cause mo-
mentary static, flutter or station interfer-
ence. If reception continues to be unsatis-
factory, switch to a stronger station.
Installation of accessoriesAlways consult your Saab dealer before
installing a citizen band radio or other
transmitting device in your vehicle. Such
devices may cause the electronic control
system to malfunction if they are incorrect-
ly installed or if they are not suited for the
vehicle. Do not use sharp instruments or
window cleaner containing abra-
sives to clean the inner surface of
the window on which the antenna is
printed. Doing so may damage the
antenna printed on the window.

dio is off to turn on the radio.

is on to select FM1, FM2 or AM reception.

The display indicates which one is cur-
rently selected.

Stereo indicator
The stereo indicator “ST” will come on
when an FM stereo broadcast is received.

Manual tuning (TUNE)
Push the “
” side of the tuning button
(3) to increase the tuning frequency and
press the “” side of the button to de-
crease it.
Each time the button is pressed, the fre-
quency changes 10 KHz in the AM wave-
band and 0.2 MHz in the FM waveband.
Constant pressure on the button causes a
continuous change in the frequency.

Automatic tuning (SCAN)
Press the “SCAN” button (1) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, theradio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at the
station for five seconds while displaying
the frequency, after which scanning will
continue until the entire band has been
scanned from the low end to the high end.
Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel
the SCAN mode and to stop on any dis-
played frequency.
When the “SCAN” button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high fre-
quencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function proper-
ly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills.

Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a “Preset” button
(5) allows you to select that station in a
single operation. Up to six AM, FM1 and
FM2 stations each may be preset.

How to preset stations
1. Press the “FM/AM” selection button to
select AM, FM1 or FM2 reception.
2. Press the “SCAN” button (1) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press one of the “Preset” buttons (5)
for at least 2 seconds to store the fre-
quency. The frequency of the station willflash once on the display at this time. If the
button is pressed for less than 2 seconds,
the preceding selection will remain in
memory.
NOTE
If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the pre-
set buttons are cleared. If this occurs,
it is necessary to reset the preset but-
tons.

If a cell phone is placed near the ra-
dio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault.
