MEMORY TUNING
Memory tuning lets you instantly tune to a stored frequency.
You can store up to 30 AM and 30 FM frequencies in the
receiver’s memory. The receiver automatically stores the first
30 stations found in the selected band into the memory. You
can also manually store a station into memory.

frequencies, beginning with the low end (87.5 MHz for
FM or 530 kHz for AM).
3. When the receiver finds a station, it stores in the first
memory channel, the
CH
number increments, and the
receiver looks for the next station. When the receiver finds
the thirtieth station or when it reaches the high end of the
frequency range,
MEMORY
disappears and the receiver
tunes to the lowest frequency station in the band.
Repeat these steps to automatically store stations in the other
band.
Manually Storing a Station
When the receiver automatically stores stations, some of them
might not be your favorites. Or, the 30-channel memory might
have filled up before the receiver reached your favorite station
at the high end of the frequency range. Follow these steps to
manually replace a station in memory.

control) to select the desired band. The receiver tunes to
and displays the frequency last selected in that band.

days, it loses all the stored frequencies.
