How to tune radio stations There are four ways for you to tune in a particular station. You can use the "TUNE", "SEEK", "SCAN" or the memory buttons. s Using the "TUNE" function You can change the frequency up or down one increment at a time by pressing and releasing either the left (b) or right (a) side of the "TUNE" button. To change frequencies quickly, press and hold down either the right or left side of the button. 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.) s Using the "SEEK" function This feature on your radio allows you to automatically select listenable stations up or down the frequency band. Press the right (a) side of the "SEEK" button to select the next listenable station up the frequency band. Press the left (b) side 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. s Using the "SCAN" function Pressing the "SCAN" button will begin the scan mode up the frequency band, stopping on each listenable station for approximately five seconds. To stop the scan mode on the presently sampled station, press the "SCAN" button again. 130
