displayed.
To start the automatic search, press the button   or  .
The search stops at the next station.
The automatic search in FM wavebands works with two sensitivity levels. If no 
station is found during the first search along the reception waveband while 
searching for stations with a high field intensity (local stations), the radio 
makes a second search for stations with a lower field intensity.Manual tuning of the frequency
Select FM1 or FM2 waveband.
Hold the   or   button down until the sound is heard and “MAN” and 
the frequency is displayed briefly.
Tune to the desired frequency by pressing the   or   buttons. If these 
buttons are pressed briefly, the shift is in steps (of 50 KHz) and if the 
buttons are held down, the frequencies change rapidly.
Alternative Frequency selection (AF)
RDS FM radio stations can transmit their signal at different frequencies. Your 
radio automatically chooses the strongest signal for the selected station. If 
you are driving through an area with bad coverage, each automatic re-tune 
will result in short breaks in the audio. In order to avoid this, turn the AF func-
tion off.
Turning AF function on/off.
Keep the   key pressed until the confirmation signal sounds. The AF func-
tion will be alternatively enabled or disabled.
The AF function status is also stored in the memory when a radio station is 
stored and will be enabled again when a preset station is selected.
