DAB TUNER BUTTONS 
 

When the power is turned ON, the station you were 
previously receiving will be selected automatically.  
The name of the station appears in the display. 

All settings, and stored stations, will be retained in 
memory while the unit is turned off. On selection, the 
last band (DAB/FM) and station is remembered.
