SEEK: Press the up arrow to tune to the next radio station and the down arrow to tune to the previous radio station.

If a cassette tape or compact disc is playing, it will stop and the m&o will play. The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range, however, can cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Try reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it. FM Stereo FM stereo will give you the best sound, but F M signals will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or hills can interfere with F M signals, causing the sound to come and go. 3-21
