SEEK AND SCAN TUNING
The "SEEK" bar, located on the right side
of the radio faceplate, can be used to tune
in broadcast frequencies within AM or FM
wavebands. Pressing the bar up will cause
stations to be scanned in ascending
frequencies; pressing it down will result in
a descending scan.
The "SCAN" Bar, located directly to the
right of the "SEEK" bar, allows sampling
of radio stations within a waveband for
approximately five seconds each. If no
action is taken during the five-second
period, the radio will tune to the next
station. Pressing either the "SEEK" bar or

SENSITIVITY CONTROL
This feature enables you to choose two
tuning sensitivity levels, low and high, by
pressing the sensitivity control button
located on the far right side of the radio
faceplate. The level you select will be
indicated by a single- or triple-ringed
symbol appearing on the right side of the
radio display. In the low level, the radio
will seek and scan only the strongest
signals. In the high level it will seek and
scan less powerful signals as well. The
sensitivity level is automatically increased
after the entire waveband has been sampled
without finding a station.
DIRECT FREQUENCY TUNING
To tune directly to a specific frequency,
switch to your desired waveband - AM or
FM - as described, then press the function
control button, which is identified by a star
and located just to the right of the radio
display. The display will go blank. Next
press the numbered buttons corresponding
to the digits of your desired station. For
example, to select the frequency 98.5, you
