Finding a Station
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and
manual (step) tuning functions. If you already know the exact frequency of the station you want to listen to, see
Tuning Directly to a Station on the following page. Once you are tuned to a station you can memorize the
frequency for recall later—see Memorizing Stations on page 25 for more on how to do this.
