●Determine whether you need to enter the manual channel tuning section or theAuto channel Tuning section (ACMS).
●Manual channel tuning is used to add more channels to the existing factory preset channels.
●Auto channel tuning (ACMS) is used to reset and reprogram the reception channels.
NOTE: Entering (ACMS) will automatically delete all existing programmed channels.
Manual Channel Tuning

to 99 can be used.
