Auto Scan

To search for an FM station, press and hold the 

OK dial to start the auto scan. The display will 

show “Searching ... >.” or “Searching ... <.”. Once 

a station has been found, the scanning will stop 

automatically.

reached.

Audio Mode

•  During stereo reception, the received L/R stereo sound will be automatically combined 

into one single channel to suit the single speaker design of this radio.
