FREQUENCY SETTING

■ Read me first

The IC-R8500 uses memory channels for storage
of frequencies (as well as mode, tuning steps, etc.).
When turning power OFF or changing memory chan-
nels, the previously displayed frequency cannot be
recalled unless it has been stored into a memory
channel. Therefore, when you want to keep a dis-
played frequency for later recall, you must program it
into a memory channel by pushing [MW] for 1 sec.
FM
"BLANK" appears in the memory name area until
[MW] is pushed for 1 sec.

q Push the numeral keys on the keypad to enter the
MHz digits for the desired frequency.
• If a key is mistakenly pushed, push [CE
again from the beginning.
• When entering the same MHz digits as the displayed
frequency, this step can be skipped.
w Push [ • ].
