Setting the Station Memory Preset buttons
%*
[AS01300(ALL)06/96]
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.
*
[AS01350(ALL)06/96]
1. Select a band, then select a frequency.
*
[AS01400(ALL)06/96]
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.
*
[AS01450(ALL)06/96]

memory preset button you want to set.
*
[AS01500(ALL)06/96]

Using the Automatic Memory Load feature
*
[AS01600(ALL)08/95]
You can activate theAuto Memory Load
feature by pressing and holding the ªAUTO
PRESETº buttonfor approximately three
seconds. Auto Memory Load sets all memory
buttons in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by
seeking out the first five strong stations for
the respective band and storing them in
memory buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the
second set of strong stations from the FM
band.)
*
[AS01650(ALL)05/96]
With Auto Memory Store, you can continually
set strong stations into your memory buttons
without losing your existing memory presets,
which is especially helpful while traveling. Your
radio will automatically set your memory
buttons to the strong local stations so you don't
have to continually manually tune to existing
stations.
