How to tune radio stations There are four ways for you to tune in a particular station. You can manually locate the station using the "SCAN/TUNE" button, "SEEK" the station, "SCAN" to the station or select the station by using the memory buttons, which you can set to any desired frequency. These four methods are described below. u Using the "SCAN/TUNE" button to manually tune You can change the frequency up or down one increment at a time (FM changes in increments of 200kHz; AM changes in increments of 10kHz) by first pressing the "SCAN/TUNE" button twice (display shows "TUNE"), then - within approximately five seconds -pressing and releasing either the top a or bottom b half of the "SEEK" button. To change frequencies quickly, press and hold down either the top or bottom half of the "SEEK" button. While you are manually tuning, the display will show a blinking "M". Manual tuning adjusts your radio to any allowable broadcast frequency, whether or not a station is present on that frequency. (See All About Radio Frequencies in this section.) This feature on your radio allows you to automatically select listenable stations up or down the frequency band. Press the top a half of the "SEEK" button to select the next listenable station up the frequency band. Press the bottom b half of the button to select the next listenable station down the frequency band. By pressing and holding the button, listenable stations can be passed over to reach the desired station. 133 u Using the "SEEK" function
