3 FREQUENCY SETTING s Read me first The IC-R8500 uses memory channels for storage of frequencies (as well as mode, tuning steps, etc.). When turning power OFF or changing memory channels, the previously displayed frequency cannot be recalled unless it has been stored into a memory channel. Therefore, when you want to keep a displayed frequency for later recall, you must program it into a memory channel by pushing [MW] for 1 sec. FM ∞ OFF DLY kHz USR-A BLANK "BLANK" appears in the memory name area until [MW] is pushed for 1 sec. Push [MW] for 1 sec. after tuning. Convenient: Use [M-SET] to program a displayed frequency (and its mode, etc.) without overwriting the currently selected memory. See p. 19. s Using the keypad Œ Push the numeral keys on the keypad to enter the MHz digits for the desired frequency. • If a key is mistakenly pushed, push [CE s] and start again from the beginning. • When entering the same MHz digits as the displayed frequency, this step can be skipped.  Push [ • t]. Ž Push the numeral keys to enter the frequency digits below 1 MHz. • If a key is mistakenly pushed, push [CE s] and start again from the beginning.  Push [ENT] to set the input frequency. • When pushing [ENT] after entering the MHz digits, zeros are automatically entered for the kHz digits. [EXAMPLE]: SETTING THE FREQUENCY USING THE KEYPAD • To set to 145.00 MHz 1 4 5 ENT • To set to 1296.040 MHz 1 2 9 6 • 0 4 ENT • To set to 850 kHz (0.85 MHz) 0• • To change from 1296.040 to 1296.850 MHz • 11 85 85 ENT ENT
