Select The Frequency Band; Station Selection - BMW 745 2002 Owner's Manual

Radio

Select the frequency band

Your radio provides reception of FM and
AM wavebands.
AM provides good long-range reception,
as its broadcast signals are not only propa-
gated at ground level as surface waves, but
also reflected from the ionosphere as
atmospheric waves.
FM furnishes substantially better acoustic
quality than AM broadcasts. However,
transmission range is limited, as FM relies
on line-of-sight broadcast signals.
To select waveband:
Select "FM..." or "AM..."
or
1. >>Radio (menu)<<
2. >>FM<< or >>AM<< (>>amplitude
modulation<<).<
Each time you confirm "AM" the
system alternately switches between
the AM waveband and the "Autostore"
mode.
Each time you confirm "FM" the system
alternately switches between "Memorized
Station" and the "Autostore"
