automatically

— Best Tuning Memory (BTM)

This function selects from the currently
received band the stations with the strongest
signals and memorises them in order of their
frequency.

PREVENTING ACCIDENTS!

When tuning in during driving, use the
automatic tuning and the memory preset
search function instead of the manual tuning.

• The unit will not store stations with weak band

frequencies on the preset number buttons. If there are
only a few stations received, some preset number buttons
will remain empty.

the unit will store stations on all preset number buttons
from the one currently displayed.

desired stations

Up to 6 stations on each band (FM1, FM2,
FM3, MW and LW) can be stored on the preset
