After a few seconds, the tuner will start to "look" for active stations, as shown by increasing frequency numbers in the Information Display. Release the button and note that the tuner will briefly stop at each active station and add a preset number to the memory. If the FM tuner finds fewer than 30 FM stations with acceptable signal strength, the Auto Preset tuning will scan two more cycles or until the remaining vacant preset memory spaces have been filled with those found in the first scan. The scan will stop when all 30 preset memory spaces have been filled or when three scans through the band have been completed. µ Secondary Control Cover: This sliding cover normally is in the "up" position so that it hides the secondary controls.
