REDBACK ® A 2702A AM/FM RDS Tuner
AUTO SEARCH MEMORY (ASM):
For those looking for a quick and easy solution to capture all the readily available stations in a region, use the ASM function.
Press the ASM button on the front panel or the remote control for three seconds. The tuner will search the frequencies
across the selected band, and automatically store the strongest received signals into the preset memories.
The ASM function scans from the lowest to highest frequencies in the band, and stores the transmitting frequencies that it
finds into the device's memories in sequential ascending order. I.E. the lowest frequency will be stored in Memory 1, the
next lowest will be stored in Memory 2 and so on. The scan and store function will replace previously stored frequencies and
overwrite the channel memories so far as is needed to capture and save the stations the tuner can detect. (E.G. If ASM cap-
tures 20 FM channels, it will overwrite and replace the memories for stored CH01 – 20, and leave CH21 – 30 untouched.)
After the ASM function has completed its task, it is still possible to replace a stored frequency in a memory with a new fre-
quency. See below for instructions on using the MEMORY function to save frequencies.
STORING A FREQUENCY IN MEMORY:
The FM band has 30 preset memories assigned to it. The AM band has 10 preset memories. These memory locations are
shown on the far right side of the tuner LCD as 'CH01', 'CH02'... 'CH30'.
To save a favourite station frequency, and thereby make it easy to recall at a later time, use the MEMORY function on the
front panel or the remote control to store the station frequency to any of the preset memories. Here are the steps...
Tune to a preferred station frequency on either AM or FM band.
Press the MEMORY button to allow the frequency to be recorded. The 'CH01' will flash in the memory mode until channel
memory number is entered. You have five seconds within which to enter two numbers for your chosen preset memory loca-
tion, into which your tuned station frequency will be saved.
Press the number key on the front panel or on the remote control to select the channel number to which the station fre-
quency will be allocated – 01-30 for FM and 01-10 for AM. You can also use the ME UP button to select a channel number
to be used to store a frequency.
Press MEMORY button again to store the frequency to that channel memory preset. Once stored, it can be recalled whenever
you desire to listen again to that station, just by pressing that number button.
STORING OR ACCESSING MEMORIES ABOVE NUMBER 10:
To access FM preset memories above 10, use the ME UP button on the front panel or use the +10/- button on the remote
control. When you are on a preset station, pressing the +10/- button will add 10 to that preset memory number and trans-
port the tuner to the frequency of a new memory that is 10 channels up. Press the button again and jump up another 10
memory locations. (E.G. If preset memory is showing 'CH04', press +10/- button once to get to 'CH14', and again to jump to
'CH24', and again to get to 'CH30' – the last FM preset memory.)
Furthermore, pressing the +10/- button on the remote control for two seconds will allow the user to input a channel number
between 'CH01' and 'CH30'. Press and hold +10/- button for two seconds and the 'CH_ _' will appear on the right side of
the LCD. Enter the numbers for the two blank spaces and the tuner will immediately transfer to that memory preset number.
(E.G. +10/- > 'CH_ _' > 2 + 3 = Preset Memory 23). If a user activates the +10/- button and does not enter two numbers
within five seconds, it will deactivate the function and maintain the existing channel status.
When storing an FM frequency in a channel memory location between CH11 and CH30, follow the +10/- procedures to se-
lect the channel number you want for that station.
