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.

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 and this display
will show ªAUTOº each time a preset is
activated.
*
[AS04475(ALL)08/95]
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.
*
[AS04500(ALL)08/95]
After all stations have been filled, the radio
will begin playing the station stored on
memory button 1.
*

and return to the manually-set memory
button stations (or those stations set using

ªAUTO PRESETº button. Display will show
ªAUTOº then ªOFFº. The next time Auto
Memory Store is activated on that band, the
