PLUG AND PLAY

When the unit is connected for the first time to the power supply or after a power failure (without
standby batteries fitted), the Automatic Memory and Time set system (AMT) will perform the following:
Automatic Memory
• The tuner starts searching automatically the FM
band and stores the received stations into the 10
preset memories (regardless of the position of the
waveband switch).
– The RDS stations have a higher priority than other
stations and will be stored first.
• To interrupt the automatic memory set up process,
press the MEMO button once. The Automatic Time
set process as described below will be skipped
also.
• The first time the set is switched to LW or MW, it
stores the received stations in this band into the
preset memories (10 for each band).
Automatic time set
– After having performed the automatic memory set
up process, the display will show a DEMO
introducing briefly the RDS features available in the
Ocean Boy 510. The radio sound is muted.
• The tuner searches automatically for an RDS station
in the FM presets. The quartz clock starts to run
with the received time.
– The Auto-Time indicator flashes, indicating that
the set is waiting for the time signal.
• If the clock is not set after 3-4 minutes, the tuner will
automatically change to another station until the
clock is set.
– The indicator stops flashing when the time is set.
• To interrupt the automatic time set or to stop the
demo mode, press any button once.
Notes:
• Before connecting the unit to the power
supply, it is recommended to fully extend
the telescopic antenna, to place the unit
at a position where radio reception is
best and set the DIST./LOCAL switch to
the DIST. position.
• If no RDS station or the clock time
information can be received, or the
automatic time set process is interrupted
before the clock is set, the time display
will flash indicating that the clock is not
yet set properly. Set the clock and the
preset memories manually.
• The Ocean Boy 510 is ready for
operation after the automatic memory
and time set has been completed.
However, if desired, you can change
the settings later as described hereafter.
