5. TIME SET button - This button is used to access the time setting mode.
When the TIME SET button is pressed momentarily, the display will indicate "SET
TIME" and the current time will be displayed with the hours flashing. The UP and
DOWN buttons (either TUNING UP and DOWN or VOLUME UP and DOWN) can then
be used to increment or decrement the current time hours. Pressing the UP button (or
DOWN button) momentarily will increment (or decrement) the hours by one each time
the key is pressed. Holding the UP button (or DOWN button) depressed will rapidly
increment (or decrement) the hours until the button is released. The time display also
includes the AM or PM indicator which is changed by scrolling the hours past 12:00.
Note: The MC602 remains in the set mode for 25 seconds with no activity (no buttons
being pressed) after which the unit automatically returns to the normal mode of
operation. The TIME SET button must be pressed again to return to the set mode.
Once the current hours have been set correctly, momentarily press the TIME SET
button again. The display will indicate "SET TIME" and the current time will be shown
with the minutes flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons can be used as described
previously to increment or decrement the current time minutes.
Once the current minutes have been set correctly, momentarily press the TIME SET
button again to return to the normal mode or let the MC602 automatically return to the
normal mode if no buttons are pressed for 25 seconds.
To set the AUTO * ON and OFF times, the TIME SET button must be momentarily
pressed three times without changing the current time. After pressing the TIME SET
button for the third time, the display will indicate "SET AUTO ON TIME" and the auto
on time will be displayed with the hours flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons can be
used as previously described to increment or decrement the auto on time hours.
Once the AUTO ON TIME hours have been set correctly, momentarily press the TIME
SET button again. The display will indicate "SET AUTO ON TIME" and the AUTO ON
TIME will be displayed with the minutes flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons can be
used as previously described to increment or decrement the AUTO ON TIME minutes.
Once the AUTO ON TIME minutes have been set correctly, momentarily press the
TIME SET button again. The display will indicate "SET AUTO OFF TIME" and the
AUTO OFF TIME will be displayed with the hours flashing. The UP and DOWN
buttons can be used as previously described to increment or decrement the AUTO
OFF TIME hours.
Once the AUTO OFF TIME hours have been set correctly, momentarily press the
TIME SET again. The display will indicate "SET AUTO OFF TIME" and the AUTO
OFF TIME will be displayed with the minutes flashing. The UP and DOWN buttons
can be used as described previously to increment or decrement the AUTO OFF TIME

minutes.
6. SOURCE button - active only when the MC602 is ON. This button is used
to select the audio source (FM A, FM B, AM A, AM B, AUX input, or TAPE input)
which the MC602 will output to the speakers. The A and B following FM and AM
indicate the preset memory bank selection. The A bank indicates the first four preset
memories A1, A2, A3, and A4, while the B bank indicates the second four preset
memories B1, B2, B3, and B4. The use of the memory banks is explained in
paragraph 10. Each time the SOURCE button is momentarily pressed the audio
source changes. The active source is displayed on the right side of the display (the
memory bank indicator is on the right side of the display after MEM).
7. TUNING DOWN button - active only when the MC602 is ON and the FM or
AM source is selected. This button is used to scan down through the FM or AM radio
stations. The radio stations can be scanned down in two ways using this button:
1. To scan down until the next strong station is found (Automatic
Search), the TUNING DOWN button is simply pressed momentarily. The
audio will be muted and the display will show the radio station frequency
decreasing until a strong station is found. Once the MC602 locks onto a
strong station, it will stop scanning. This station's frequency will be shown on
the display, and the audio will again be heard through the speakers.
2. To scan down to a specific frequency and/or hear the stations as
they are scanned (Manual Scan), the TUNING DOWN button is held in. After
about 1 second the MC602 will go into Manual Scan Down mode and the
display will decrement in frequency while the audio at this frequency will be
heard. The unit will continue to decrement and play each frequency until the
TUNING DOWN button is released. The Manual scan can be used to select
a station that is not strong enough to be picked up by the Automatic Search,
to scan through many frequencies without stopping on each strong station, or
to quickly hear a sample of each station as it is scanned.
NOTE: To decrement the frequency down just once, the TUNING
DOWN button should be held in until the frequency changes--then
immediately released.
