How to Assign Preset Stations and Custom Names
How to Assign Custom Names
The Front Panel Alphanumeric Display of the MR85 to-
gether with the built in memory, allows for Custom Nam-
ing of each Station Preset. Instead of the Front Panel just
indicating the frequency of the received radio station, it
could indicate such things as type of music played on that
station. The assignable characters include the alphabet,
numbers, and symbols. To enter Custom Presets Names
follow the below steps:
Note: In the below example, we will Custom Name an already
assigned FM Station Preset Number 1 which has a
frequency of 99.10MHz and rename it JAZZ 7. The
Custom Naming of a Station is applicable for both
Tuner 1 and the optional secondary Tuner 2 Module.
1. Momentarily press and release the Front Panel ENTER
push-button. The LED above the ENTER push-button
will light.
2. Select Station Preset Number 1, by rotating the PRE-
SET Knob clockwise or counterclockwise.
3. Push the DISPLAY Push-button and the Front Panel
Display of the Station Frequency (default) will be re-
placed by “1”, a blank space, and then a flashing “A”.
Refer to figure 7.
Note: The number 1 is the assigned Preset Number followed
by the first of eight possible characters of the new
Assigned Preset Name.
4. Rotate the TUNING Knob clockwise to scroll through
the alphabet until the character “J” appears. Refer to
figure 8.
5. Rotate the PRESET Knob clockwise until the “A” ap-
pears to the right of the “J”. Refer to figure 9.

“A” appears to the right of the “JAZZ ”.
13. Rotate the TUNING Knob clockwise to scroll through
the alphabet and numbers until the “7” digit appears.
Refer to figure 12.
14. Press and release the front panel ENTER push-button
a second time to store the newly assigned Preset Name
into memory; the LED above the ENTER push-button
will turn Off and the assigned Preset Name will appear
on the Front Panel Display.
Note: If a Preset has been Custom Named, it is possible to
restore the default Station Frequency Display if desired.
Press the ENTER Push-button once, then press and hold
the DISPLAY Push-button for 3 seconds.
