To Select a Station You can use any of five methods to find radio stations on the selected band: TUNE, SEEK, SCAN, the preset buttons, and AUTO SELECT .

Preset Each preset button can store one frequency on AM, and two frequencies on FM. 1. Select the desired band, AM or FM. FM1 and FM2 let you store two frequencies with each preset button. 2. Use the TUNE, SEEK, or SCAN function to tune the radio to a desired station. 3. Pick a preset 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 stations on FM. The preset frequencies will be lost if your vehicle's battery goes dead, is disconnected, or the radio fuse is removed. Comfort and Convenience Features 95
