To adjust the tone characteristic
To set the radio to a "flat" frequency
response, depress the tone con­
trols (4) and (5) simultaneously.
To produce more bass, depress the
bass control (4). To produce more
treble, depress the treble control (5).
Note:
After the bass control has been
depressed to increase the bass, a
repeated activating of the control
will cause the bass to be reduced
again, while another repeated pres­
sing again increases the bass
response.
Similarly, the tone control for treble
alternates between increase and
decrease of the respective frequen­
cies.
To select a wave band
Depress any of the buttons
marked "F" to tune the radio to the
FM band. Depress any of the
buttons marked "A" to tune the radio
to the AM band.
To tune to a station
Stations can be tuned in by using
automatic search, direct dialing,
manual tuning, or preset push
buttons. The frequency of the
station selected is displayed digitaly
on panel (8).
Automatic search
Switch to the wave band desired by
activating any of the push buttons 1F
through 6F for FM, and 7A through
OA for AM.
Press the station seeker bar (14) on
the right side to search for stations
"UP" the band or, on the left, side to
search for stations "Down" the band.
The radio is programmed to automa­
tically search the entire band in
three sensitivity modes. During its
first sweep, only the most powerful
stations received will be locked in.
During the next sweep, the less
powerful and during the third cycle,
the weak stations will be searched.
If the station seeker bar is activated
within eight seconds after the radio
locked onto a station, the automatic
search will continue in the sensitivi­
ty mode used last. If eight seconds
are exceeded, the unit will again
search for the most powerful
stations in its least sensitive mode.
Direct frequency dialing
After selection of the desired wave
band, it is possible to tune the radio
to a specific station by entering the
station's frequency via the keyboard
consisting of the top row of push
buttons (6).
To switch the radio to this tuning
mode, depress the function control
butten (10).
