is reached.
V Seek tuning
If you press the “ ” or “ ” side of the
SEEK/SCAN button and release it within
1.5 second, the radio will automatically
search for a receivable station and stop at
the first one it finds. This function may not

manual tuning to select the desired sta-
tion. V Automatic tuning (SCAN)
If you press the “ ” or “ ” side of the
SEEK/SCAN button for 1.5 second or
longer, the radio will switch to scan mode.
In this mode, the radio scans through the
radio band until a station is found. The ra-
dio will stop at the station for five seconds
while displaying the frequency, after which
scanning will continue until the entire band
has been scanned from the low end to the
high end.
Press the “ ” or “ ” side of the button
again to cancel the scan mode and to stop
on any displayed frequency.
If you hold down the “ ” side of the but-
ton, the radio will scan up the frequency
band (from low frequencies to high fre-
quencies). If you hold down the “ ” side

ly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the st ation or proximity to
tall buildings and hills.
