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

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.
