The following steps show you how to tune in to 
FM and AM radio broadcasts using the 
automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning 
functions. Once you are tuned to a station you 
can memorize the frequency for recall later—
see Saving station presets below for more on 
how to do this.

AM), if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM 
(stereo or mono) and AM.

There are three ways to do this:

Automatic tuning
To search for stations in the currently 
selected band, press and hold 

 / 

for about a second. The receiver will start 
searching for the next station, stopping 
when it has found one. Repeat to search for 
other stations.

Manual tuning
To change the frequency one step at a 
time, press 

 /.

High speed tuning
Press and hold 

 / for high speed 

tuning. Release the button at the 
frequency you want.

If the 

TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when 

tuning to an FM station because the signal is 
weak, press the 

BAND button to select FM 

MONO and set the receiver to the mono 
reception mode. This should improve the 
sound quality and allow you to enjoy the 
broadcast.

If you often listen to a particular radio station, 
it’s convenient to have the receiver store the 
frequency for easy recall whenever you want to 
listen to that station. This saves the effort of 
manually tuning in each time. This unit can 
memorize up to 30 stations.

1 • If the receiver is left disconnected from the AC power outlet for over a month, the station memories will be lost and will have 

to be reprogrammed.
• Stations are stored in stereo. When the station is stored in the FM MONO mode, it shows as 

ST when recalled.
