Selecting the function

The reception conditions vary constantly when driving. The reception can be interfered with by the presence of mountains, buildings or bridges, particularly when the transmitter is far away.

NOTE When the "RADIO" function is activated, the last station listened to before switching off is received.

Selecting the function

As soon as the radio is switched on, the radio is heard. To select the Radio function whilst listening to a cassette or a compact disc, press the "MODE" switch (8) repeatedly until the word "RADIO" appears on the display.

Selecting the band

Press the "FM" switch (12) or the "AM" switch (11) briefly to select the desired reception band (the LED under the switch selected should come on).

Each time the "AM" switch (11) is pressed, the "MW" or "LW" stations are selected.

If you wish to select stations which are transmitted on the RDS (Radio Data System), see the description overleaf (RDS FUNCTION).

Manual search tuning

This makes it possible to search manually for stations on the pre-selected band.

• Select the band: "FM", "MW" or "LW".
• keep the "FM" switch (12) pressed (if the FM band is selected) or the "AM" switch (11) (if the MW or LW band is selected) until the word "MAN" appears on the display.
• press the "MODE +" switch (9) or the "MODE -" switch (7) to select the desired station;
• by pressing the switch briefly it is possible to change frequency gradually in steps;
• by pressing it for longer it is possible to change frequency quickly.

The manual search function is not activated for bands RDS1 and RDS2.

You return to the automatic tuning mode automatically (the word "MAN" disappears from the display) after 60 seconds or if one of the station programming switches numbered from "1" to "6" is pressed briefly. In the latter case the station previously programmed with this switch is tuned into.

Automatic search tuning

This makes it possible to automatically search for stations in the pre-selected band.

• Select the band: "RDS1", "RDS2", "FM", "MW" or "LW";
• press the "MODE +" switch (9) or the "MODE -" switch (7);

The sensitivity of the search increases starting from the 2nd stage through the entire frequency range (the word "DX" appears on the display).
