The demo board provides two methods to select the radio band: one is to use the slide switch (S2), the other is to

use the POWER/BAND push button. S14 determines which method is in use.

The demo board also provides two methods to set the band property: one is to use tuner default values, the other

is to use the keypad to reconfigure band property value via the MCU. S13 determines which method is in use. If

you use the tuner default values, the band property is fixed and cannot be re-configured. Refer to Section "4.2.1.

MCU Setting Band Property” for the operation details for setting the band property using the keypad.

To operate the demo board, follow these procedures:

1. According to the desired radio band selection method, set S14 to use the slide switch or push button.

2. According to the desired radio band property, set S13 to use tuner default values or reconfigure the band

property.

3. Hold the POWER/BAND push button (hold time > 1s) or when the alarm time is reached, the device will

enter FM/AM/SW mode.

4. Use slide switch S2 or press the POWER/BAND push button to select the desired band.

5. Refer to section "4.2.1. MCU Setting Band Property” or section "4.2.2. MCU Setting Radio Working Mode”

to reconfigure the band property or radio working mode if necessary.
