Radio

Example 3:  To select a FM station 

transmitting on 

93.1  MHz, enter 9,3,1 

Example 4:  To select a FM station 

transmitting on 
103.5  MHz, enter 1,0,3,5

Note:

All AM stations  have allocated 
frequencies ending with a “0” . All  FM 
stations  have allocated frequencies 
ending with an odd  (uneven)  digit 
after the decimal  point.

Broadcasters sometimes may not 

give their exact frequency but the 

next closest even  number.

Manual tuning

After selecting the desired wave 

band, depress the function control 
button  (10).

Depress and  hold down the “UP” or 
“ DOWN” side of the station seeker 
bar (14) to tune the radio on 
0.1  MHz  (100 kHz)  increments on the 
FM  band or in  1  kHz increments on 
the AM  band through the entire 

frequency range.

Release the button when the 

desired station  is tuned in.

If, after depressing the function 

control  button  (10), the station 
seeker bar (14)  is not activated 
within eight seconds, the manual 
tuning  mode is ended automatically.

Push  button tuning 

Six FM stations and four AM stations 

can  be stored  in  memory and called 

by activating the appropriate 
buttons marked 1F -  6F for FM  or 
7A -  0A for AM stations.

To store stations in  memory 

Any FM station frequency displayed 
on the panel  (8)  can  be stored on 
any button  marked 1F -   6F by 
depressing the button desired and 

holding it until the display has 
changed from the “old” setting and 
a “ blank” to the new frequency to be 
stored.

Showing the “old” setting first allows 

for reconsideration of the decision

to store.  If it is desirable to leave the 

“old” frequency in  memory rather 
than exchanging with the “ new” one, 

just release the button. The “old” 

frequency will  remain in  memory.

Any AM station can  be stored simi­

larly on any button  marked  7A -  0A.

Stereo reception

The stereo indicator (7)  lights up if a 

stereo station  is received.

The radio is equipped with an auto­

matic stereo/mono switch  providing 
a smooth change-over rather than a 
hard, sudden switching, thereby 
reducing  noise and  interference.

The stereo indicator will  remain  lit 
even  if the receiver has changed to 
the mono mode and will turn off at 
an antenna signal considered insuf­
ficient to  provide acceptable recep­
tion quality.
