ons each.

Now the station has been stored.
The display will indicate which station sel-
ection key is currently activated.
Note:
If you attempt to store a station which has
already been stored, the corresponding sta-
tion key and the memory bank will flash in
the display if you are on a different memory
bank.
Automatically storing the
stations with the strongest
reception with Travelstore

The five strongest FM stations will be auto-
matically stored on the “T” memory bank

completed, the radio will play the strongest
station.
If desired, stations can also be stored ma-
nually in the Travelstore bank (see “Storing
stations”).

of a key.

BND. For FM, also choose the corre-
sponding memory bank by pressing

the desired memory bank appears in
the display.

Press the corresponding station selec-
tion key briefly to recall the station.
