TIME OF DAY - The time of day is maintained by a real time clock internal to the Body Control Module (PZM). This time of day is broadcast as a Class 2 message over the serial data bus. The radio receives this data and displays it on the front panel. Changing the time of day is accomplished through the "hour" and "minute" buttons on the front of the radio. These button presses are translated by the radio which then sends a Class 2 message to the PZM requesting a change in the time. The radio itself does not maintain the time.

Holding button for longer than 2 seconds will activate fast seek mode.

PSCAN - Any station already set up on the preset buttons can be sampled using PSCAN (Preset Scan). Press the SCAN button and hold for 2-3 seconds or until the display shows PSCAN. It will SCAN each of the presets and stop for a few seconds. The tuner will continue scanning until you press scan again. PSCAN will be displayed whenever the tuner is in PSCAN mode.
