About Station Presets
The Solo XT has 20 station presets. The presets can be used to store either FM or DAB stations. Because of
the way the Solo XT places stations in the presets you may want to plan how you store them. Here’s how it
works. The fi rst station you store goes into Preset 1. The second station goes into Preset 2 and so on, up to 20
stations. If you remove a preset all the stations in presets above the one you removed, drop down a preset
position. The table below gives an example.
Preset # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
originally programmed stations FM 89.70 FM 90.95 FM 100.30 FM 104.95 DAB 211.648 DAB 217.088 DAB 222.064
after removing presets 2 and 6 FM 89.70 FM 100.30 FM 104.95 DAB 211.648 DAB 222.064
It may be helpful to put the presets in some logical order. You could put the FM presets in order of ascending
frequency. For example put 89.70 into Preset 1, 90.95 into Preset 2, 93.70 into Preset 3, etc. Or you could
assign presets on the basis of how often you listen to them. For example, your favorite station could go into
Preset 1, the next favorite into preset 2, etc.
