To Select a Station
You can use any of five methods to find radio stations on the selected band: tune, skip (seek), scan, the preset buttons, and auto select.
On the FM band, you can also use the features provided by the radio data system (RDS). For more information on the RDS.

SKIP (SEEK) - The skip (seek)
function searches up and down from

station with a strong signal. To
activate it, press either side (
or

it. You can also activate the skip
function (SEEK is displayed on the

When the system finds a strong signal, it will stop and play that station for about 10 seconds. If you do nothing, the system will then scan for the next strong station and play it for 10 seconds. When it plays a station that you want to listen to, press the scan side of the bar again, or push the interface selector to the right again.
Preset - Each preset button or preset icon can store one frequency on AM and two frequencies on FM.
To store a preset memory location:
1. Select the desired band, AM or FM. FM1 and FM2 let you store two sets of FM frequencies with the preset buttons (on-screen icons).
2. Use the tune, skip (seek), scan, or RDS function to tune the radio to a desired station.
3. Press the preset button, and hold it until you hear a beep. You can also store frequencies with the interface dial. Select the preset icon you want to store the frequency on, then press ENTER on the interface selector, and hold it for more than 2 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to store a total of six stations on AM and twelve stations on FM.
AUTO SELECT - If you are traveling and can no longer receive your preset stations, you can use the auto select feature to find stations in the local area.
Push the interface selector down to scroll down the screen, highlight A.SEL, then press ENTER on the interface selector. You will see A.SEL on the screen, and the system goes into scan mode for several seconds.
To turn off auto select, press ENTER on the interface selector.

You will see ‘‘0’’ displayed if auto select cannot find a strong station for every preset button.
If you do not like the stations auto select has stored, you can store other frequencies on the preset buttons (icons) as previously described.
To turn off auto select, press the A. SEL side of the bar. This restores the presets you originally set.
