momentarily on the stations being set into the
memory buttons. The radio is now in the
ªAUTOº mode and the display will show
ªAUTOº each time a preset is activated.

[AS04475(ALL)10/95]
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the

the last strong station detected on the
band.
