Memory Store features
[AS03700(ALL)09/95]
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.)

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.

strong local stations so you don't have to continually manually
tune to existing stations.
*

button once. Your radio will set the first five strong stations of
the band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the memory

frequencies, stopping 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.

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.
