Press the upper part ( ) to tune to a higher frequency, or the lower part ( ) to tune to a lower frequency. The frequency numbers will start to change rapidly. Release the bar when the display reaches the desired frequency. To change the frequency in small increments, press and release the TUNE/SEEK bar quickly. SEEK - The SEEK function searches the band for a station with a strong signal. To activate it, press the TUNE/SEEK bar until you hear a beep, then release it. Depending on which part of the bar you pressed, the system scans upward or downward from the current frequency. It stops when it finds a station with a strong signal. Preset - You can store the frequencies of your favorite radio stations in the six preset buttons. Each button will store one frequency on the AM band, and two on the FM band. To store a frequency: 1. Select the desired band, AM or FM. FM1 and FM2 let you store two frequencies with each Preset button. 2. Use the TUNE or SEEK bar to tune the radio to the desired station. 3. Pick the Preset button you want for that station. Press the button and hold it until you hear a beep. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to store a total of six stations on AM and twelve on FM. Once a station's frequency is stored, simply press and release the proper preset button to tune to it. The preset frequencies will be lost if your vehicle's battery goes dead or is disconnected.
