Setting Favorite Station Preset Buttons

Monster RadioPlay 300 features three programmable "favorite station" memory presets. The left, middle and right buttons represent station presets 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Select stations on your car stereo that are 'quietest,' i.e. the most free of strong radio station signals, you will here static on these stations. These may change depending on where you are. To program:

1. Press and hold button 3 (also identified as 'M') for one second. All buttons will flash, indicating 'station selection' mode.
   
2. Press buttons 1 or 2 (also identified as '-' and '+') to scroll FM radio frequencies up or down.
   
3. Once you've selected a station, press and hold any one of the three buttons for one second to set that station into memory and exit station selection mode. Your selection will be confirmed in the display as 1, 2 or 3.
   
4. After your station is set, the unit will automatically go back to its default 'Preset' memory mode, where pressing the 1-3 buttons recall your default preset stations. To change presets, repeat steps 1 through 3.

Note: While in 'station selection' mode, if you don't set a station within 10 seconds, the unit will automatically revert to 'Preset' memory mode while temporarily keeping your present station.

Dimming the Display

For easier viewing day or night, press the 1 and 2 buttons at the same time to alternately dim or brighten the display.

Performance & Safety Tips

• For best performance, select Monster RadioPlay 300 channel that is not occupied by a strong local FM radio station.
• Select the channel that offers clearest sound with the least interference. This may take some experimentation.
• Connect Monster RadioPlay 300 and select channels BEFORE operating your vehicle; never while driving.
• The Monster RadioPlay 300 transmitter strength is regulated and limited by the FCC. RadioPlay 300 transmits at the power allowable by law.
• Monster RadioPlay 300 is designed to transmit within your car's perimeter while not interfering with the surrounding public airways.
• Note: Monster RadioPlay 300 acts just like a tiny FM radio station, however no FM transmitter will ever sound like your favorite 50,000-Watt radio station.
• Certain cars may experience more difficulty receiving clear signals than others. Location of the antenna can affect signal strength. Some vehicles have a metallic film in the windows which can also make it harder to receive clear signals.
• In dense metropolitan areas, there are cases where all Monster RadioPlay 300 pre-set stations are occupied by local radio stations. Sometimes a station setting next to a local station may be strong enough to 'bleed' over to the adjacent frequencies.
• Radio frequencies from local stations can 'bounce' from hills and buildings and cause momentary interference.
• A steel bridge or parking garage may act like an antenna, strengthening local and distant radio station signals. You may need to wait until you are 'over the bridge' or 'out of the structure' for clearest reception.
