HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
The Trail Tune has many unique features and functions. Be sure to read each section carefully so that you will fully
understand how the instruments and its features work.
The manual is divided into sections outlining each of the major functions of the player. A drawing of the player's
screen that represents the starting point or other important screen for each operational process is shown adjacent
to the instructions for the process; important keys are shown in color indicating PRESS & HOLD and PRESS. The
steps for the programming or operation are adjacent to the screen illustration. Key points and important information
are shown in highlighted blocks.
The Trail Tune player itself is an important part of this manual as it prompts you through its operation.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Trail Tune player should be protected from shocks, extreme heat and extended exposure to direct sunlight. You
should only perform service procedures related to the changing of the battery as shown in this manual. NEVER
attempt to disassemble. Store your player in a clean, dry area at room temperature.
Clean your player using a moist cloth. Care should be taken when cleaning the lens not to rub dirt into the surface
as it can become scratched and hard to read.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
PRE-USAGE INSPECTION
Before operating the device, check if the battery is correctly positioned (be aware of battery polarity).
TO REPLACE BATTERY:
1. Open battery hatch lid.
2. Remove old battery, insert one AAA battery into the slot
according to the indicated +/- diagram.
3. Securely replace the battery hatch lid.
IMPORTANT:
Once switched off, battery must be replaced within 10 sec. Otherwise, preset channel memories will be lost.
If battery is removed from the hatch when the player is switched on, stored memories will be lost. In case of
prolonged disuse, empty the battery hatch to prevent leakage of the battery’s corrosive liquid.
To maintain quality of radio reception, replace the battery when necessary. When the Low Battery symbol is shown
on the display the quality of the radio output may be affected, as the battery level is extremely low. When the Low
Battery symbol is shown the battery should be replaced.

TUNING THE RADIO RECEIVER
The Trail Tune player is equipped with 3 search modes: Manual, Automatic, and Preset.

repeatedly until the desired frequency is acquired.
AUTOMATIC SEARCH MODE
In Automatic Search Mode, the radio automatically tunes to the next occupied frequency. The Automatic Search
allows the user to quickly scroll though available stations with strong transmission signals.
1. PRESS & HOLD the SCAN DOWN 3 or SCAN UP4 keys. Release
the key, once the frequency display begins to change.
2. The Trail Tune will automatically tune itself to the next available
frequency and begin playing.
3. To use Automatic Search to find a specific station, continue holding
the SCAN DOWN 3 or SCAN UP4 keys until the display reading
is close to the desired frequency and release the key. The player will
automatically tune itself the next signal received.
4. Repeat until desired frequency is reached. In remote locations (with minimal signal reception) the search may
be aborted by PRESSING either SCAN DOWN 3 or SCAN UP4 keys.
NOTE: The “Automatic Search” is useful for searching stations with strong transmission signals. To more
quickly search for weaker signals, combine both Manual and Automatic search functions. Use Automatic
Search to tune the radio near the desired frequency, switch to Manual Search to pinpoint the exact
frequency.
