receiver accepts it as 1450. (See
“Setting the AM/FM Tuning Incre-

entered into memory, simply press
the desired preset number (
0 – 9 ).
Note: You must first store the
desired stations into memory. (See
“Storing Station Frequencies” on
Page 12.)

stops at each station for about 5
seconds. To end scanning, press
SCAN again, or press a preset sta-
tion memory button.
Note: If no frequency is stored in a
memory channel or no signal is
received at a memory channel, the
receiver stops at the memory chan-
nel for 1 second and then moves to
the next memory channel.
