Using the Automatic Memory Load feature
You can activate the Auto Memory Load
feature by pressing and holding the "AUTO
PRESET" button for approximately three
seconds. Auto Memory Load sets all memory
buttons in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by
seeking out the first five strong stations for
the respective band and storing them in
memory buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the
second set of strong stations from the FM
band.)
With Auto Memory Store, you can continually
set strong stations into your memory buttons
without losing your existing memory presets,
which is especially helpful while traveling. Your
radio will automatically set your memory
buttons to the strong local stations so you don't
have to continually manually tune to existing
stations.
Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the
"AUTO PRESET" button once. Your radio will
set the first five strong stations of the band you
are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the memory
buttons. The display will show "AUTO," then
run through the frequencies, stopping
momentarily on the stations being set into the
memory buttons. The radio is now in the
"AUTO" mode and the display will show
"AUTO" each time a preset is activated.
NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong
stations in the frequency band, the
remaining unfilled buttons will store
the last strong station detected on the
band.
After all stations have been filled, the radio will
begin playing the station stored on memory
button 1.
