this fuse with one of a higher value will not
protect the tuner and will void the warranty
(See

The power switch supplies
AC
current to the tuner when switched ON. The frequency display will
be
illuminated when the power switch is activated. If this does not occur, either the

These 2 buttons let you select the direction
of
tuning by depressing either the left button for a lower

the right button for a higher frequency. The Tuning buttons work
in
conjunction with the FM

The Tuning buttons will operate differently depending upon the mode selected with the
FM Scan button.
(See
FM Scan section below.)
When the FM Scan button is illuminated (the auto mode) and either
of
the Tuning buttons is
depressed, the tuner will scan

in
the chosen direction. If either
of the Tuning buttons is depressed and held, the display will
be
incremented quickly until the button is
released.
