Tuning sensitivity button
By pressing the tuning sensitivity button once or twice, you can select the
desired sensitivity level of the automatic station seeker. The sensitivity indica­
tor shows the selected sensitivity level:
1 = least sensitive (the automatic seeker only stops at strong stations)
f = average (the automatic seeker stops at strong and moderate strength
stations)
<f = most sensitive (the automatic seeker also stops at weak stations)
When switched off, the radio returns to the “ least sensitive” level.
