I How
to classify
and memorize stat¡ons
The memory can be divided
(classified)
for different users or
programs
of
stations.
W¡th
this
model, eight classes
(CLASS
A to H) are available
and stations
can be memorized in any class. Atotal of
40stations
can be
memorized in classes from A
to
H. Although the same
station can
be memorized in
different
classes, the memory
number
for
the3tation
will differ depending
on the
order in which
the station
is
memorized
in
the classes.
@
Tune
in
the desired station
(see previous
section on the
tuning
operations).
@
Press
the MEMORY button.
o
The MEMORY
ind¡cator will flash for 8 seconds.
@
Press
the desired Classified Memory button
(one
of buttons
A to
H).
a
The
stat¡on
is
memorized
in
the selected
class with the
memory number which
is the smallest of the unoccupièd
numbers in the class.
By repeating
the
operations above, up to
40
stations can
be
memorized.
lf
an
attempt is nrade to memorize
41
stations,
"FULL"
will
be displayed
in
the
Frequency Display, indicating
that no more stât¡ons can be memorized.
