LOCAL/DISTANT SELECTOR (LOC)
This feature is used to select the strength of the
signals at which the radio will stop during
Automatic Seek Tuning. Pressing the button will
select the Local setting (LOC will appear on the
display panel) and only strong (local) stations
will be received. Pressing the button again will
select the Distant setting (LOC will disappear
from the display panel) and the radio will stop at

FM MONO/STEREO SELECTOR (MON)
During FM radio operation, this button is used
to select mono or stereo reception of the
broadcast signal. Under normal reception
conditions, the unit should be left in the stereo
mode as indicated by the ST
indication on
the display panel when tuned to an FM stereo
signal. If the stereo signal is too noisy for
comfortable listening, press the MON button to
switch to monaural reception (the ST
indication will disappear from the display panel).
To return to stereo reception mode, press the
button again so that the ST
indication
appears in the display panel.

PRE-SET SCAN (PS)
AUTO-STORE TUNING (AS)
Press this button momentarily to scan the stations
pre-set into the six memories of each of the
AM bands or each of the FM bands. On each
selected band, the unit will stop at each pre-set
station for 5 seconds before continuing to the
next pre-set station (the pre-set number on the
display panel will flash during Pre-Set Scan
operation). Press the button again momentarily
to stop Pre-Set Scan operation and remain on
the selected frequency. If no buttons are
pressed during the scan, the unit will return to
the original station before the scan.
When the button is pressed and held for longer
than 2 seconds, the unit will beep and activate
the Auto-Store Tuning feature. The radio will
automatically scan and enter up to 6 stations
into the pre-set memories on the band in use.
If you have already set the pre-set memories to
your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store
Tuning feature will erase those stations and
enter the new ones. This feature is most useful
when travelling in a new area where you are
not familiar with the local stations.

memory position. The station can now be
recalled at any time by pressing that button.
4. Repeat the above procedure for the remaining
5 pre-sets on that band and for the other 4
bands on the unit.

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel displays
the frequency, time, and activated functions.
NOTE: It is a characteristic of LCD panels that,
if subjected to cold temperatures for an
extended period of time, they may take
longer to illuminate than under normal
conditions. In addition, the visibility of
the numbers on the LCD may slightly
decrease. The LCD read-out will return
to normal when the temperature
increases to a normal range.
