u Using the Automatic Memory Load feature You can activate the Auto Memory Load feature by pressing and holding the "AUTO PRESET" button for approximately three seconds. Auto Memory Load sets all memory buttons in AM, FM1 and FM2 sequentially by seeking out the first five strong stations for the respective band and storing them in memory buttons 1-5. (FM2 will store the second set of strong stations from the FM band.) With Auto Memory Store, you can continually set strong stations into your memory buttons without losing your existing memory presets, which is especially helpful while traveling. Your radio will automatically set your memory buttons to the strong local stations so you don't have to continually manually tune to existing stations. Activate Auto Memory Store by pushing the "AUTO PRESET" button once. Your radio will set the first five strong stations of the band you are in (AM, FM1 or FM2) into the memory buttons. The display will show "AUTO," then run through the frequencies, stopping momentarily on the stations being set into the memory buttons. The radio is now in the "AUTO" mode and the display will show "AUTO" each time a preset is activated. NOTE: If there are fewer than five strong stations in the frequency band, the remaining unfilled buttons will store the last strong station detected on the band. After all stations have been filled, the radio will begin playing the station stored on memory button 1. 39
