If you memorize a station that does not have a Station Name
onto a blank station, a Station Name is given automatically.
The symbol and the frequency number appear on the
Station Name Area and on the Station Selection Line.
Example:
FM 98.0 MHz is memorized as "*98.0".
AM 15360 kHz is memorized as “* 15360”.
Notes on Tuning Pages:
• If the station has a new Station Name, you cannot memo¬
rize it on a station number that already has a Preset Station
Name. You can memorize it only on a blank station.
- If the station does not have a new Station Name, you can
either memorize it on a blank station or add it to an already
memorized Preset Station Name. (See page 25 for details.)
• You cannot overwrite a station on the Tuning Page except
for the following cases. If you want to erase a station, see
page 24.
♦ You can overwrite a new station onto a previously memo¬
rized station if:
— The previously saved station does not have a Program
Time, but the new station with the same Station Name and
frequency number has a Program Time.
— The previously saved station has a Program Time, but the
new station with the same Station Name and frequency
does not have a Program Time
* You can eliminate the Program Time from that station by
inputting the same time for both the starting time and ending
time also.
• When you press the ENTER button in step 13. the under¬
lines on the Station Name line of the Turning Page flash to
let you know which station numbers can be memorized on
Notes on Timer Page:
* If you memorize a station on the number where a station
has already been memorized, the previous station is be
erased and replaced by the new one.
• If you memorize a station without Station Name on a previ
ously memorized station, the Station Name does not
change but the programmed data is replaced by the new
data.
• Each station on the Timer Page can have only one Fre¬
quency
