{WORLD-WIDE FREQUENCY COVERAGE 7

No band selector is provided.

The entire frequency range is tuned in
consecutively. The detection mode is set
automatically according to the frequency range to
which the tuned frequency belongs.

Selectable detection modes

(Except ICF-PRO70 West Germany and Saudi Arabia

model)

The entire frequency coverage is divided into 2 to
4 ranges depending on the model type, and the
detection modes, FM, NARROW FM, AM WIDE,
AM NARROW and 388 can be selected for each

range.

By attaching the supplied FRQ«80 frequency
converter, 115.15-223 MHz can also be received.

[LERSATILE TUNING MODES

Direct tuning (Page at
by inputting a frequency to be tuned in

-wnen you know the frequency at the station

Memory tuning (Page 7)
by simply pressing one button to tune in the stored
station

' For daily listening to your favorite station

Manual tuning (Page e)
by scanning lrequencies step by step at a determined
interval

- when you no not know the frequency or the station
t To tune in precisely a station located by scan timing
or limited scan tuning precisely

The ireouertctas oi the stations programmed are displayed in sequence
while your desired station is kept tuned in.

Memory protection (Page 7»

The memory or on. page (it) stations stored) is locked so that it
cannot be changed Inadvertently.

Kay protection (Pads 8)

The buttons on the front panel are locked so that they cannot be
operated by accident.
