Notes:
• When scanning, the receiver only
searches for frequencies with
strong signals. To search for sta-
tions with weaker signals, use one
of the manual tuning methods.
• When scanning in a lower band,
the receiver searches only within
the selected band and stops at the
upper and lower limits of the band.
• Your receiver shows the short-
wave bands you can receive on
the bottom of the display.

shortwave stations stored in your
receiver’s memory.

cies into the receiver’s empty
