Two successive pressures on this button will clear

 

occupied memory positions (e.g., 4 FREE FREE).

STORE

Store in memory

 

You can store in memory up to 40 stations.

 

To avoid redundant storing, first check whether the

 

currently received station has already been stored.

 

If the station has not yet been stored, enter the num-

 

ber of the desired memory position and store the sta-

 

tion in memory by pressing the STORE button (e.g.,

 

1 3 STORE).

 

If the selected memory position is not free, the indi-

 

cation will flash for approx. 5 seconds. The memory

 

position will not be overwritten.
