If you have already called up the ROM table, you can select further stations with the MEMORY button (6): Brief pressure = you get to the next higher station code. For all radio stations, several alternative frequencies have been programmed. You get to these alternative frequencies with the M O N O / R O M - A F button (21). A direct frequency entry via the numeric keypad (also when changing the waveband) or a frequency change does not yet cause the exit from the ROM table. If you have meanwhile changed the frequency, pressing the MEMORY button (6) brings you back to the starting point of the ROM table. You can quit the ROM table by selecting a station memory location (e. g. , 1 MEMORY) or by slowly pressing the 0/R O M numeric button which causes in addition the transfer into the tuning memory.

Especially when operating the radio inside a building, the location of the radio can be of great importance for the RDS reception quality. If necessary, try to install the radio at a location giving better results. [. . . ]
