RADIO POWER ON FUNCTIONS
Include VF/VM scan, tuning frequencies, storing frequencies into memory, listening to stored frequencies, and deleting
stored frequencies.
VF/VM SCAN
Press this button to View Frequency (VF) on the display. If the frequency displays twice, you are in VF mode.
Press this button to View Memory (VM) of preset stations or frequencies stored in memory. If the station memory, in
the upper right of the display panel, flashes 3 times, you are in VM mode.
Once you have chosen VF or VM, press the button for 1 second and release.
The radio will scan frequencies if in VF mode or the presets in memory if in VM mode.
Press the button once to stop scanning.
This works in FM, AM, or SW frequencies and memories.
Before the radio has any stations or frequencies stored into memory, you cannot switch between VF/VM mode, the
radio will automatically be in VF mode.
TUNING FREQUENCIES OR STATIONS
There are 3 ways to tune in desired frequencies or stations.
1) MANUAL TUNING.
Turn the course and/or fine-tuning dials to make your selection.
2) AUTO BROWSE. Manual refers to this as SEMI-AUTO.
While in VF mode, press and hold the VF/VM button for 1 second.
The double arrowhead symbol flashes indicating it is scanning for frequencies or stations, staying on each for 5 seconds
before proceeding.
Press any button on the keypad to stop scanning.
3) DIRECT KEYPAD ENTRY.
While in VF mode, press the numbered buttons to directly enter in a frequency or station.
Ignore the decimal point when inputting numbers.
If the frequency is not within the covering range, the error symbol “ERR” will be displayed.
STORING MEMORIES
I recommend going outside away from buildings and overhead powerlines, if possible, for the best access to available
stations and frequencies in your area.
MANUAL STORAGE
Enter VF mode, select FM, AM, or SW button for band selection.
Dial to or input the numbers of a station desired.
Press the MEMORY button, PRESET will flash in upper right corner of display panel.
Rotate course tuning dial to select a memory address of where to store station.
Press MEMORY again or wait 3 seconds for station to be stored in place.
AUTO BROWSE (SEMI-AUTO) STORAGE
Enter VF mode, press and hold VF/VM button to scan available stations.
The double arrowhead will flash while advancing and stopping on each available station for 5 seconds.
Press the VF/VM button to store station into memory.
It will then continue scanning until you store another choice or stop scanning.
