Note:

 If reception is still poor try moving the radio to another location.

Changing the Scan setting

In FM mode:

1. 

Press and hold the Menu/Info button to enter the menu options.

2. 

Press and release the Next button until FM <Scan setting> is displayed. Press and 
release the Select button. The current Scan setting will have an ‘*’ in the display. 

There are two different options to choose from: 

• 

Strong stations - 

The scan will only stop when a strong signal strength is received 

which should also result in a better audio quality. It is possible that the station you are 
scanning for may be missed using this option.

 

• 

All stations - 

The scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the signal strength 

is poor.

3. 

Press and release the Next button to choose from the two options available and press 
and release the Select button to confirm.

Audio mode

The radio will automatically switch between Stereo and Mono, depending on the quality 
of the signal being received but you can override this function and manually switch 
between Stereo and Mono. 

1. 

Press and hold the Menu/Info button to enter the menu options.

 

2. 

Press and release the Next button to scroll to <Audio setting>. Press and release the 
Select button.  

There are now two different options of <Forced mono> and <Stereo allowed> and the 
current setting will have an ‘*’ display. 

3. 

Press and release the Next button to choose from the two options available. Press and 
release the Select button to confirm.
