Radio Operation
Selecting band & storing presets:
Pressing BAND (7) will toggle through the radio modes as follows FM1 -> FM2 -> FM3

12 AM presets. To program a preset, tune in the desired station. Push and hold the
desired PRESET button for at least 2 seconds.

To automatically set the presets to the next higher stations, press the preset button (1-

selecting the next band and continuing the operation during auto programming.

Press the TUNE/SEEK-UP button (5) once to automatically tune to the next higher
station. Press the TUNE/SEEK-DOWN button (6) once to automatically tune to the
