Tuning the radio

Stereo / Mono / Speaker selection

For speaker listening, plug in the supplied FM wire antenna into earphone 

jack for better FM reception; be sure to slide the stereo / mono / speaker 

switch to SP position.

For earbud or headphone listening, plug in your earbuds or headphones 

into the earphones jack, this will mute the speaker.

If the FM reception is generally good, slide the ST / MO / SP switch to 

ST (stereo) position to get stereo sound. If the radio signal is weak, slide 

the switch to MO (mono) to force the radio to play the station in mono in 

order to reduce the level of audio noise. 

There is a built-in ferrite bar antenna for AM. Rotate the radio if necessary 

for better reception. 

ATS tuning – Auto Tuning System

●

 The radio features an Auto Tuning System (ATS) that will automatically 

store radio stations into the memory presets on the FM and AM band 

upon the signal strength of the incoming stations. ATS FM / ATS AM 

can be operated only when the radio is on. 

Turn on the radio, select either the FM or AM band by pressing the BAND 

button. Press and hold the PAGE / MENU button to enter the MENU 

setting, the display will flash MENU, press the Tuning up / down button, 

cycle through and find ATS FM (for FM listening) or ATS AM (for AM 

listening) then press the SELECT button to confirm the ATS setting. The 

radio will start the Auto Tuning System (ATS), and store the found stations 

based upon the signal strength into the memory presets. The radio allows 

a maximum of 20 presets in 4 memory pages both on the FM and AM 

bands. The Weather band does not feature Auto Tuning System.
