! Stereo indicator
The stereo indicator “ST” will illuminate
when an FM stereo broadcast is received.
If you press the “
” or “
” side of the
“SEEK” button briefly, the radio will automatically search for a receivable station
and stop at the first one it finds.
This function may not be available when
radio signals are weak. When this happens, perform manual tuning to select the
preferred station.
If you press the “SCAN” button briefly, the
radio will switch to the scan mode. In this
mode, the radio scans through the radio
band until a receivable station is found.
The radio will briefly stop at the station
while displaying the frequency, after which
scanning will continue until the entire band
has been scanned.
Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel
the SCAN mode and to stop at any
displayed channel.
Automatic tuning may not function properly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills.
