Setting the FM/AM interval
The International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9
kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of AM stations and 100 kHz or 50 kHz
for FM stations. The illustration shows the
50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the
100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
This product is not equipped with a span selector. However, it will be
adjusted to a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval when shipped from the factory.
Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval (span)
used in your area.
To change the AM/FM tuning interval (main unit only):
1 During demonstration mode, press the E SOUND/DEMO button to
enter the stand-by mode.
2 Whilst holding down the SNOOZE/DIMMER button, press the
ON/STAND-BY button.
3 Within 6 seconds, press the or button to select the interval
(span) in your area.
The display switches each time you press the or button.
4 Within 6 seconds, press the button.
The unit will enter the power stand-by mode automatically.
Note:
The AM/FM tuning interval will not change unless you press the
button within 6 seconds.
Caution:
When the unit is left for a few days after the span has been changed and
the AC power lead disconnected, the AM span will be automatically
returned to 9 kHz (FM span to 50 kHz). If this happens, set the span again.
When the span is changed, all the memorised stations will be cancelled.
This operation can not operate during alarm is activated.
Deactivate the alarm first. (refer page 23)
