Safety Note
To avoid distraction from the vehicle's
operation and the road, it is recom­
mended that the driver NOT perform
any manual tuning operations while the
vehicle is in motion. Use the automatic
station search operation or preset sta­
tions instead.
Push button tuning
Six FM stations and four AM stations
can be stored in memory and recalled
by pressing the appropriate buttons
m
marked D B through
for FM or
EZ3
through
for AM stations.
To store stations in memory
Any FM station frequency indicated on
the digital display can be stored on any
3 3
button marked Q 3 through
depressing the button desired and
holding it until the display has changed
from the "old" setting to a "blank" and
then to the new frequency to be stored.
Showing the "old" setting first allows for
reconsideration of the decision to store.
If it is desirable to leave the "old" fre­
quency in memory rather than
exchanging it with the "new" one,
quickly release the button. The "old"
frequency will remain in memory.
Any AM station can be stored similarly
on any button marked
Stereo reception
The stereo indicator symbol
lights up if a stereo program is
received.
The radio is equipped with an auto­
matic stereo/mono switch that electro­
nically switches to mono for clear
reception if a weak signal is received.
A special circuit provides for a smooth
change-over rather than a hard sudden
m
switching, thereby reducing noise and
interference.
The stereo indicator will remain lit even
if the receiver has changed to the
mono mode and will turn off at an
antenna signal considered insufficient
by
to provide acceptable reception quality.
Important! Although FM is normally
static free, reception can be limited by
geographic and atmospheric condi­
tions, station strength and distance
from transmitter. Buildings or other
obstructions can cause momentary
static, flutter or station swapping. If
good reception cannot be obtained,
tune to a stronger station.
Tape Cassette playback
EH
EZ3
through
It is recommended to use only good
quality cassettes with a playback time

through the cassette door. Push the

to reverse for playing the second track.
