[. . . ] Repeat the operation until the desired station is received. The unit stores stations in the order of their frequencies on the number buttons. If the automatic tuning stops too frequently, press (SENS) (BTM) repeatedly until "LOCAL-ON" appears in the display. If only a few stations can be received due to weak signals, some number buttons will retain their former settings. When a number is indicated in the display, the unit starts storing stations from the one currently displayed. Only the stations with relatively strong signals will be tuned in. Tip If you know the frequency of the station you want to listen to, press and hold (SEEK) (+) or (SEEK) (­) to locate the approximate frequency, then press (SEEK) (+) or (SEEK) (­) repeatedly to fine adjust to the desired frequency (manual tuning). During radio reception, press (SENS) (BTM) repeatedly until "MONO-ON" appears in the display. FM stations with Radio Data System (RDS) service send inaudible digital information along with the regular radio programme signal. For example, one of the following will be displayed upon receiving a station with RDS capability. You can manually preset the desired stations on any chosen number button. Press the desired number button ((1) to (6)) for 2 seconds until "MEM" appears. Receiving traffic announcements, even when enjoying another programme/source. Depending on the country/region, not all of the RDS functions are available. RDS will not work properly if the signal strength is too weak or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data. Note If you try to store another station on the same number button, the previously stored station will be erased. The AF function allows the radio to always tune into the area's strongest signal for the station you are listening to. The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data ("PI SEEK" appears). If the unit cannot find the same PI, the unit returns to the previously selected frequency. When the AF function is on: this unit's factory setting restricts reception to a specific region, so you won't be switched to another regional station with a stronger frequency. If you leave this regional programme's reception area or would like to take advantage of the whole AF function, press (SEL) and (AF/TA) simultaneously until "REG-OFF" appears. Note This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas. [. . . ] The power connecting lead is not connected properly. The unit is installed at an angle of more than 45°.
