BAND SELECTION
Two or three wave bands are available by repeatedly pressing
the
BAND
button. It will toggle between FM, MW and LW, or
between FM and AM, depending on the country of use. The
wave band will be displayed for 2.5 seconds after the Band
button is pressed.
TUNING AND SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR
When tuning across the band, the T50 indicates the presence
of a station. If the station is not quite tuned in, arrows indicate
the way the tuning knob should be turned to obtain centre
tuning and lock.
As the station is correctly tuned, the arrows change to a
horizontal line.
SEARCH UP AND DOWN
Instead of tuning the radio manually with the tuning knob, SEARCH operation will automatically search UP and DOWN the band, looking for
stations to be received with an acceptable background noise. It will stop on each one until asked to
continue searching by pressing
the
UP or DOWN button again.
SIGNAL STRENGTH
To indicate the signal level of a given station, the display brightness is adjusted from Bright (high) to Dim (low). Use a good quality roof
antenna for best results.
STORE AND PRE-SETS
To fill the T50’s memory with your favoured stations, select
Manual
Tuning
by pressing the
MODE
button and select the
desired
BAND
. Either tune manually or use the search
UP
button to locate the station you wish to memorise. Press the
STORE
button once, briefly. The
MEMORY
indicator on the
display will flash and the
PRE-SET
number will be displayed. If
you wish to store the station in this address, press the
STORE
button firmly and hold until the
MEMORY
indicator stops
flashing.
If you prefer to allocate the station a different pre-set number,
turn the tuning knob until the PRE-SET indicator displays the
desired number and then press the STORE button as above.
The T50 will now be ready to store another station and will
attempt to place it in the next consecutive pre-set number
address, should you wish to do so. Repeat as necessary to
store your favoured stations in the memory. Return to standard
operation by pressing the MODE button again.
A maximum of 99 stations can be stored in FM, 29 in MW/AM
and 6 in LW (Europe only). Only stored numbers will be
displayed.
CLEAR STATION MEMORY
Individual stations can be over-written by selecting the pre-set number with the TUNING/PRE-SET knob. In order to clear all pre-sets
to start again, press and hold the MODE button until ‘CLEAR’ starts flashing. Then release and press and hold the MODE button once more
until CLEAR becomes solid. Releasing the MODE button will blank the display temporarily and clear the memory of all pre-sets.
Note: Any other button press or control knob turn or waiting more than 10 seconds while CLEAR is flashing will cancel the pending program
action.
DISPLAY
The T50 can have four levels of display brightness. The levels are set by pushing the Display button repeatedly until the desired level is found.
The available levels of brightness are: High (Default), Medium, Low and Off
The display levels are held in the memory of the T50 and will be remembered if the tuner is powered off. If the tuner is working but there is
no display, it could be that the display brightness level has been switched to off.
If any button or the tuning knob is turned, the brightness level will be briefly restored to setting no. 1 and will then revert to the last setting.
