RADIO OPERATIONS

ENGLISH

Listening to the radio

You can use either automatic searching or manual searching to tune in to a particular station.

Searching a station automatically: Auto search

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Selected band appears.

Lights up when receiving an FM stereo broadcast with sufficient signal strength.

Note:

This receiver has three FM bands (FM1, FM2, FM3). You can use any one of them to listen to an FM broadcast.

Start searching a station.

To search stations of higher frequencies

To stop searching before a station is received, press the same button you have

pressed for searching.

Searching a station manually: Manual search

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Note:

This receiver has three FM bands (FM1, FM2, FM3). You can use any one of them to listen to an FM broadcast.

Press and hold ¢ or 4 until “M” (manual) starts flashing on the display.

To search stations of lower frequencies

When a station is received, searching stops.

CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

Tune in to a station you want while “M” (manual) is flashing.

To tune in to stations

ENGLISH

To tune in to stations of lower frequencies

• If you release your finger from the button, the manual mode will automatically turns off after 5 seconds.

• If you hold down the button, the frequency keeps changing (in 200 kHz intervals for FM and 10 kHz for AM) until you release the button.

of higher frequencies

When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive

1 Press M (MODE) to enter the

functions mode while listening to an FM stereo broadcast.

2 Press MO (monaural), while

“MODE” is still flashing on the display, so that “MONO” appears on the display. Each time you press the button, monaural mode turns on and off alternately.

MO (monaural) indicator

Storing stations in memory

You can use one of the following two methods to store broadcasting stations in memory.

• Automatic preset of FM stations: SSM (Strongstation Sequential Memory)

• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations

FM station automatic preset: SSM

You can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM band (FM1, FM2, and FM3).

Select the FM band (FM1 – 3) you want to store FM stations into.

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Press and hold both buttons for more than 2 seconds.

“- -SSM- -” appears, then disappears when automatic preset is over.

When the MO indicator is lit on the display, the sound you hear becomes monaural but the reception will be improved.

Local FM stations with the strongest signals are searched and stored automatically in the band number you have selected (FM1, FM2, or FM3). These stations are preset in the number buttons—No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6 (highest frequency). When automatic preset is over, the station stored in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

Manual preset

You can preset up to 6 stations in each band (FM1, FM2, FM3, and AM) manually.

Ex.: Storing FM station of 92.5 MHz into the

preset number 1 of the FM1 band.

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM) you want to store stations into (in this example, FM1).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

Notes:

• A previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations again.

Tuning in to a preset station

ENGLISH

Tune in to a station (in this example, of 92.5 MHz).

To tune in to stations of higher frequencies

To tune in to stations of lower frequencies

Press and hold the number button (in this example, 1) for more than 2 seconds.

Preset number flashes for a while.

You can easily tune in to a preset station. Remember that you must store stations first. If you have not stored them yet, see “Storing stations in memory” on pages 10 and 11.

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Select the number (1 – 6) for the preset station you want.

Note:

You can also use the 5 (up) or ∞ (down) button on the unit to select the next or previous preset stations. Each time you press the 5 (up) or ∞ (down) button, the next or previous preset station is tuned in.
