Receiving broadcasts by scanning stations

If you don't know the frequency of the radio station
you want, you can have the receiver scan all the
receivable stations to locate the one you want.

lights up.
The last received station is tuned in.

the display.

Press TUNING + or –.
Press the + button for a higher station number;
press the – button for a lower one. When you tune

scanning. To continue scanning, press the button
16 again.

Presetting Radio Stations

You'll most likely want to preset the receiver with the
radio stations you listen to often so that you don't have
to tune in the station every time. The receiver can store
a total of 30 FM or AM stations. You can store the
stations on preset numbers combining 3 characters (A,
B and C) and numbers (0-9). For example, you can
store a station as preset number A1, B6, or C9.
