How to tune radio stations
*
[AS10050(ALL)04/95]
There are four ways for you to tune in a particular station. You
can manually locate the station using the ªSCAN/TUNEº
button, ªSEEKº the station, ªSCANº 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.

You can change the frequency up or down one increment at
a time (FM changes in increments of 200 kHz; AM changes
in increments of 10 kHz) by first pressing the
ªSCAN/TUNEº button twice (display shows ªTUNEº), then
Ðwithin approximately five secondsÐ pressing and
releasing either the right (
a) or left (
b) side of the ªSEEKº
button. To change frequencies quickly, press andhold down
either the right or left side of the ªSEEKº button.

Using the Automatic Memory Load feature
[AS10250(ALL)10/94]
NOTE: If no stations are in memory presets, you can activate
the feature by pressing and holding the ªAUTO
PRESETº button for 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.)
*
[AS10260(ALL)05/95]
With Auto Memory Store, you can continually set strong
stations into your memory buttons without losing your
existing memory presets, which is especially handy 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.
[AS10270(ALL)07/92]
Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the ªAUTO
PRESETº button once. Your radio will set the first five
strong stations of the band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2)
into the memory buttons. The display will show ªAUTOº,
then run through the frequencies, stopping momentarily on
the stations being set into the memory buttons. The radio is
now in the ªAUTOº mode for the selected band and this
display will show ªAUTOº each time a preset is activated.
*
[AS10280(ALL)05/95]
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong stations in the
frequency band, the remaining unfilled buttons will
store the last strong station detected on the band.
*
[AS10290(ALL)05/95]
After all stations have been filled, the radio will begin
playing the station stored on memory button 1.
