All user mode settings on your ESD-9560
can be changed by using Program mode.
When changing the settings, please keep 
in mind:

Program mode is as follows:

1.

Press and hold the PROG/MUTE button
for 2 seconds to enter Program mode.
You will hear 3 beeps and the word

Then brief programming instructions will
scroll through the display two times.

are scrolling, press and release the
SELECT/DIM button to cycle through the
user modes. You will hear 1 beep each
time you press the button. As each
mode is displayed, the current setting for
that mode will be shown.

3.

With the user mode you wish to change
displayed, press and release the
SET/CITY button to change the setting.
You will hear either 1 or 2 beeps,
depending on your selection. To move to
the next selection, press SELECT/DIM

again. When you exit Program mode,
the new setting will automatically be
saved.

4.

When you have finished programming
any or all of the user modes, press and
release the PROG/MUTE button 
to exit Program mode. Or simply wait 
10 seconds without pushing any 
buttons. SETTINGS SAVED will appear 
in the display.
