Again, I'm no expert on the memory system so so I'll outline what I know. Page 0 is usually set aside for the AMS function - Auto Memory Scan -, this is the function where the radio scans for the strongest signals and puts those into memory automatically, you can do this on the Fm, MW and LW bands by holding the particular button for the band you wish to scan down for a second until the radio mutes.
The 2 buttons on the bottom right of the keypad are the memory up and down page controls, you have 25 pages of memory in total and you can scroll between pages using these keys. On each page each memory is defined a number as each station is entered, for example if you go to page 1, the first memory preset you set there will be number "01". You can get to this location in several ways, press the memory button and then use the main tuning knob to move through the presets on the currently selected page or by typing in the number location of the preset on the keypad and pressing the enter/delete key after, for example type "01" to get to the first memory location and press "enter/delete", that's the key to the right of the 0 and its a multi function key. To get to presets where the value is a 2 digit number, just type in the number and the radio will tune directly to the preset without the need for the enter key to be used. If you make mistakes in your memory allocations or you want to start afresh. To delete all presets hold down enter/delete for 4 seconds and press again. To delete specific memories or presets, go into memory mode and then hold down the memory/preset button, the radio goes into "Memory scan" mode where the radio stops at each memory preset location for 5 seconds. Whilst the radio is stopped at a preset memory location you can press the "enter/Delete" key, that memory preset will then be deleted and the scan will continue to the next occupied memory preset location, the radio will then stop where upon you can press the "enter/delete" key again etc. To store your currently tuned station into memory, hold down the memory set button to the left of the 0 key for 4 seconds. Hope this helps.
