Selecting the waveband
Press the "AM/FM" button
several times in succession
to select the waveband; it
changes in the following
order: FM1/FM2/FM3/MW/
LW/FM1...
Automatic station search
Press the "SEEK " or
"SEEK " button to search
the lower frequencies or the
higher frequencies respec-
tively.
Manual station search
Turn the "TUNE" dial re-
spectively to the left to
search the lower frequen-
cies or to the right to search
the higher frequencies.
Manual station storing
Press one of the six buttons "1" to "6"
until an audible signal is heard.
The sound cuts out then becomes au-
dible again when the station has been
stored.
The number of the button and the as-
sociated radio frequency appear on the
display.
Automatic station storing
Press the "AM/FM" button
for more than two seconds.
Recalling stored stations
Press one of the six buttons "1" to "6".
The station corresponding to the wave-
band selected appears on the display.
The search begins automatically and

t i o n a r e s t o r e d a n d c l a s s i fi e d f r o m t h e
weakest to the strongest on the six cor-
responding buttons.
You can store up to six stations on each
waveband.
Storing a new station replaces the pre-
vious station. Stations can only be stored automati-
cally on wavebands FM3, MW and LW.
Storing new stations replaces the previ-
ous stations.
This storing can be activated automati-
cally irrespective of the waveband se-
lected.
To recall the pre-set memory setting,
press the button and release it within
two seconds.
