MEMO Modus
Using the MEMO button You can switch at any time from the present channel
(normal channel modus) to the 5 programmable stored stations (MEMO modus) and
switch back again.
Recall stored stations
•
After briefly pressing the
MEMO
button, the number of the memory position will
appear with the appropriate channel.
•
Now you can programme these 5 stored numbers using either the rotary knob or
the
∧∧
∨∨
buttons on the microphone.
•
If you briefly press the
MEMO
button again the set switches back to normal
modus: the stored number disappears from the display and you again will be able
to see the number of the channel last used.
The manufacturer has pre-programmed your AE 5290 for some commonly-used
channels:
•
Channel 1
recommended call channel on FM
•
Channel 9
international emergency and call channel
In Germany particularly this AM channel is also used by all truck drivers. This
means: a large number of stations are listening in. If the worst comes to the worst
(e.g. in case of accident etc.) there is a good chance that someone will be listening.
To call other stations, who you know are listening in on channel 9, you can also use
this channel. Call up the desired station on channel 9. As soon as contact has been
made, agree on a free channel for your conversation and then channel 9 will be free
again for other calls.
An emergency channel can of course only work if as many stations as possible are
listening in. Therefore listen in to this channel as often as possible; the MEMO
button will help you.
