Scan tuning (SCAN)

If you press the “SCAN” button briefly

If you press the “SCAN” button briefly (type A, B and C audio)/continuously (type D audio), the radio will switch to the scan mode. In this mode, the radio scans through the radio band until a station is found. The radio will stop at the station for 5 seconds (type A, B and C audio)/10 seconds (type D audio) while displaying the frequency, after which scanning will continue until the entire band has been scanned.

Press the “SCAN” button again to cancel the SCAN mode and to stop at any displayed channel.

Automatic tuning may not function properly if the station reception is weakened by distance from the station or proximity to tall buildings and hills.
