tune in these stations easily by using Preset Station Tuning,
The saved station can be tuned in by selecting the "Station
Name" on each "Preset Page ' Each Preset Page can hold up
to 5 Stations Names
There are three Kinds of "Preset Pages" in Preset Station
Tuning:

• Timer Page (TP)
How to Tune in by Selecting a Preset
Station Name
The Tuning Pages (1 to 20) can hold up to 20 Pages, with 5
Station Names on each Page, therefore 100 Station Names in
total. One Station Name can hold up to 10 "Frequencies'' (see
page 15). but in total, 162 Frequencies can be memorized on
the Tuning Pages. When you select a Station Name, one of
the 10 "Frequencies" is tuned in. The Station Names are
displayed in capital letters; e g "ABC".
The Quick Pages (Q1 and Q2) can hold 2 Pages, with 5
Station Names or 5 frequency numbers on each Page,
therefore 10 stations in total.
Quick Pages appear to be very similar to Tuning Pages, but
since there are only 2 Pages, you can tune in a station more
quickly. Quick Page can memorize a Station Name that you
saved on the Tuning Page or any frequency that you tune in
Another difference is that the stations on Quick Pages are
memorized by overwriting onto the previously memorized
station. (See page 23 for details.) Quick Page is also suitable
for temporary use, as a memorandum of a frequency number.
The Station Names are displayed in smalt letters; e.g. "abc."
The Timer Page (TP) has one Page, therefore 5 Station
Names in total. Each Station Name on the Timer Page has
only 1 "Frequency." Timer Page can be used to memorize
stations for timer operation (turning on and off of the radio at a
specified time). The Station Names are displayed in capital
letters; e.g. "ABC".
Several stations on the Tuning Page are already preset in this
unit at the factory. Therefore, you can tune in a Preset Station
by following the instructions on the right before memorizing
stations of your own choice. To memorize the stations, go on
to the next section to learn how to tune in a station by direct,
manual or scan tuning and read the section "Memorizing and
Editing Stations" section from page 21._

Blank pages will not be displayed.
