B – AM/FM Tuning Dial
The tuning dial indicates what frequency is being received by the radio.
C- Sleep Timer Button
Press and hold the sleep timer button and use the hour and minute buttons to set the sleep timer. This will allow the user to set a predetermined length of time for the radio to play until it switches off. This can be set up to 2 hours.
