end of the range.
Memory Tuning

station number you want appears on the display. The station number
lights steadily, indicating the receiver memorized the frequency.
Repeat these steps to store additional frequencies.
To tune to a stored frequency, press CLASS so the desired class number
appears on the display, then press STATION / to select the station.

manual tuning.

that already contains a frequency, you
replace the previous frequency.
• If your receiver is disconnected from
AC power for several days, it loses all
the stored frequencies.
