How to Change the Preset Station Frequencies on a Car Radio

"The channel preset feature on a radio gives you the ability to instantly tune into your favorite radio stations at the press of a button rather than having to scan through the radio dial in order to find the station you want. The preset feature is especially handy on car radios. Fumbling around with your car radio's tuning knob while driving a car can dangerously divert your attention. If your favorite radio stations are all programmed into your car radio's presets, all you have to do to jump among them is press a button ----- FMUSER"

#1.Turn your car radio on.
●Tune your car radio to the first radio station you would like to use as a preset. If the radio station you want to establish as a preset has a decimal in its frequency, set your radio to the FM band. If the radio station does not have a decimal in its frequency, set your radio to the AM band. 

●Use the tuning button or knob on your radio to flip through the radio station frequencies until you arrive at your desired radio station.

#4.Tips & Warnings

●Each preset button on your car radio can be assigned to two radio stations, one AM and one FM. You can assign AM 1030 to preset 1, for instance, and also assign FM 90.9 to the same preset button. 

●These two radio station presets will not cancel each other because they are on different bandwidths. When your car radio is set to the AM bandwidth, your preset buttons will give you the AM frequencies assigned to each preset button. 

●When your car radio is set to the FM bandwidth, your preset buttons will give you to the FM frequencies.

●Some brands of car radios might deviate somewhat from these steps. If this is the case, you will need to track down a copy of your car radio owner's
