and PTY code flash. When “SEARCH” is
pressed while the selected frequency and

automatically starts to find the next station.
After the frequency and PTY code stop
flashing or if any other operation is done, the
system automatically tunes in to the station.
To stop searching, press SEARCH or CANCEL.
