Mono / Stereo mode - FM
Your radio will play stereo FM broadcasts in stereo provided that the received signal is of adequate
strength. However, as a stereo signal becomes weaker the audio signal will become poorer. It may be
preferable to force the radio to play the station in mono in order to reduce the level of background hiss.

removed from the display. To return to stereo mode press and release the Mono / Stereo button
until the stereo indicator shows on the display.

on, and keep the button held until the auto shut off indicator disappears from the display.

Band button.
The majority of FM radio stations use frequencies which are multiples of 100kHz. To change
the FM tuning step size between 50kHz and 100kHz please follow the steps below. In Europe
and many parts of the world MW (AM) tuning steps are 9kHz. In north and south America the
