Seek tuning (SEEK)
If the Tuning dial ’s outer tuner is turned for longer than half of a se-
cond, the radio will begin to automatically search for receivable fre-
quencies and will stop at the first one found. This function may not be
available, however, when radio signals are weak. In such a situation,
perform manual tuning to select the desired station. Scan tuning (SCAN)
Turn the tuning dial inner tuner to change the radio to the SCAN
mode. In this mode, the radio scans through the radio band until astation is found. The radio will stop at the station for five seconds
while displaying the frequency, after which scanning will continue until
the entire band has been scanned.
Turn the tuning dial ’s inner tuner again to cancel the SCAN mode and
to stop on any displayed frequency.
Scan tuning may not function properly if the station reception is weak-
ened by distance from the station or proximity to tall buildings andhills. Preset tuning
Press any one of the preset buttons to select the corresponding, pre-
viously-registered radio station. The LED at the top of that button will
turn on. n Manual preset
Use the tuning dial to select the radio station which you wish to
register. Choose the preset button to which you wish to assign that station
and press it continuously for a period of more than 2 seconds. When
the radio station has been successfully registered, the display will
flash the corresponding radio frequency on and off once. NOTE Each preset button can be used to store both an FM station
and an AM station. If the power supply is interrupted by disconnection of the bat-
tery, memory presets will be cleared and will be required to be re-input.
