PUSHBUTTONS: The six numbered pushbuttons let
you return to your favorite stations and associated tone
and DSP settings. The RDS PTY mode must be off to
use this mode. You can set up to 24 stations (six AM,
six FM1, six FM2 and six weather). Just:
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Press BAND to select AM, FM1, FM2 or weather.
3. Tune in the desired station.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered buttons
for more than two seconds. Whenever you press
that numbered button for less than two seconds,
the station you set will return.
5. Repeat the steps for each pushbutton.
When battery power is removed and later applied, you
will not have to reset your radio presets because the
radio remembers them.
PRESET SCAN: Press and hold SCAN for more
than two seconds until you hear a beep to listen to each
of your preset stations for five seconds. The radio will
go to the first preset station stored on your pushbuttons,
stop for five seconds, then go on to the next preset
station. Press SCAN again to stop scanning. If a preset
station has weak reception, the radio will not stop at the
preset station.
