than 1.5 seconds. (For example in the

ceases emitting sounds when the select
button is pushed.)
3. The indicator, ªch2º will then come on and
the sound will resume.
Memorization is now complete.
4. Other buttons can be set in the same

If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse blows, the radio memory will be canceled.
In that case, reset the desired stations.
Adjusting tone quality and speaker
sound balance
To adjust BASS, TREB (treble), FADER, and
BAL (balance) the control knobs must be re-
leased from their stowed positions. Pushing
the knobs once moves them to the released
position.
In the released position, the knobs control tone
quality. Turn the control knobs to adjust BASS
and TREB to the most pleasing level.
From the released position, the knobs must be
pulled out in order to control FADER and BAL.
FADER adjusts the sound level between thefront and rear speakers, and BAL adjusts the
sound level between the right and left speak-
ers.
Once sound quality is set to the desired levels,
return the control knobs to the stowed position
by pushing them in completely and releasing.
