Help

Follow these steps to use the Radio:
1. There is only one button for AM/FM. The text on the button that shows is the one that you want to change to.
2. To Preset a station- Use Seek +/- or Tune +/- to get to the desired frequency, Press Set and then the Preset number you want to set to.
3. Seek increments in 0.5 and Tune increments in 50(the standards in a car radio). You have to use these to get to your desired station.
Follow these steps to use the Alarm:
1. Alarm off turns off the alarm and Snooze increments the alarm time by 10 mins.
2. To set the alarm- Press the set button, Use hours+/- and minutes+/- to set alarm and Press the set button again.

After you finish the test, the Finish button is enabled. Clicking this prints out the errors in one of the output boxes.
Copy the values in those two boxes into a text file and email them to me. Do contact me through email if you have any questions.
