When you change the interval, all the AM preset stations are erased. To reset the interval, repeat the same procedure. Tips • The preset stations are retained for about a day even if you disconnect the power cord or if a power failure occurs. • You can label the preset stations (see page 16). • To improve the broadcast reception, adjust the supplied antennas, or connect a commercially available external antenna.
