Automatic station scan with auto store function
To receive radio stations, it is necessary for the
supplied earphones (B) to be connected to the
earphone jack. The earphone cable serves as a
receiving aerial.
The most convenient way to search for stations and save them is
the automatic station scan with automatic saving of stations (auto
store function).
Switch on the scan radio with the "On/Standby" button (6).
Press the "MODE" button (3) for approx. 2 seconds to start the
automatic station scan. The automatic station scan always
starts at the lowest frequency (87.5MHz).
The scan radio now searches the entire frequency range for
stations with strong signals. On the display (1), the "SCAN"
(14) and "FM" (11) indicators flash and the "PRESET" (22)
indicator appears permanently.
The first 20 stations found are stored directly in the presets 01
to 20 and saved.
The scan can be cancelled at any time by pressing the
"On/Standby" button (6).
Please note that already occupied presets are
overwritten.
Manual station scan
Switch on the scan radio with the "On/Standby" button (6).

Press the "MODE" button (3). The "FM" symbol (11) flashes on
the display.
Press the "-" button (2) or "+" button (4) for approx. 2 seconds
to start the manual station scan downwards or upwards. As
soon as the device finds a station with a strong signal, the scan
stops and the station is played.
If you want to switch to another station, press the "-" button (2)
or "+" button (4) again to restart the manual station scan
downwards or upwards. The device searches for the next
station with a strong signal.
To exit scan mode, press the "MODE" button (3) again.
Manual station tuning
As an alternative to the automatic or manual station scan, you
can also tune in stations manually. This enables you to find
stations with weaker signals also. Proceed as follows:
Switch on the scan radio with the "On/Standby" button (6).
Press the "MODE" button (3). The "FM" symbol (11) flashes on
the display.
Briefly press the "-" button (2) or "+" button (4).
You thus move 0.1MHz downwards or upwards in the
frequency band each time you press the "-" button (2) or "+"
button (4) respectively.
Proceed in this manner until you find the desired station.
Press the "MODE" button (3) to return to volume mode. The
"FM" symbol (11) is displayed permanently on the display.
