To change bands, press the AM or
FM1/FM2 button. On the FM band,
ST will be displayed if the station is
broadcasting in stereo. Stereo
reproduction on AM is not available.
You can use any of three methods to
find radio stations on the selected
band: TUNE, SEEK, or the Preset
buttons.
TUNE — Use the TUNE/SEEK
switch to tune the radio to a desired
frequency. Push the switch up to
tune to a higher frequency, and push
the switch down to tune to a lower
frequency. The frequency numbers
will start to change rapidly. Release
the switch when the display reaches
the desired frequency. To change
the frequency in small increments,
push and release the TUNE/SEEK
switch quickly.
SEEK — The SEEK function
searches the band for a station with
a strong signal. To activate it, push
the TUNE/SEEK switch until you
hear a beep, then release it.
Depending on which way you pushed
the switch, the system scans upward
or downward from the current
frequency. It stops when it finds a
station with a strong signal.
Preset — You can store the fre-
quencies of your favorite radio
stations in the six preset buttons.
Each button will store one frequency
on the AM band, and two on the FM
band.
