How to use the MODE button

If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions mode ("MODE" flashes on the upper part of the
display). While in function mode, the number buttons and 5/∞ buttons work as different function
buttons.
Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.
To use these buttons for original functions again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds
without pressing any of these buttons until the functions mode is cleared ("MODE" disappears from
the display).
• Pressing MODE again also clears the functions mode.
