Turn the knob clockwise to step up the
station band or counterclockwise to
step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces
the amount of channel separation to pre-
vent the weak signal from creating noise.
If the signal becomes extremely weak, the
radio switches from stereo to mono recep-
tion. In this case, “ST” disappears from the
screen.
(b) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the touchscreen but-
tons (1 — 6) you want and hold it until
a beep is heard. This sets the station to
the touchscreen button and the fre-
quency appears on the touchscreen
button.
Each radio mode (AM, FM1 or FM2) can
store up to 6 stations. To change the pre-
set station to a different one, follow the
same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled
when the power source is interrupted by
the battery disconnection or a blown fuse.

FM
Fading and drifting stations — Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 25 miles
(40 km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of
reception.
Static and fluttering — These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping — If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weakened,
and there is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static — AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static. XM

Cargo loaded on the roof luggage carrier,
especially metal objects, may adversely
affect the reception of XM  Satellite Radio.
Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may in-
validate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.
