each time you press BAND, and the last selected station if that band

reception.
4. Set MONO/FM-ST to MONO for monaural sound or FM-ST for stereo sound.

If MONO/FM-ST is set to FM/ST and earphones or headphones are
connected, STEREO appears when the radio receives an FM

MONO. The sound is monaural, but the reception should
improve.

Memory Tuning
You can store up to 10 AM and 10 FM stations (20 stations in all) in your
radio's memory so you can easily recall them.
Storing a Station
1. Tune to the station you want to store.
2. Press MEMORY. M flashes.
3. Within 10 seconds:
For memory locations 1-5, press the corresponding memory location
button (1-5).
For memory locations 6-10, first press +5, then press 1 for location
6, 2 for location 7, 3 for location 8, 4 for location 9, or 5 for
location 10.
M (for 0-5) or M+5 (for 6-10) appears for about 5 seconds.
Notes: If M disappears before you press a memory location button, start
again from Step 2.
You cannot remove a station from memory, but you can store a new
one in its place.

For memory locations 1-5, press the corresponding memory location button
(1-5).
For memory locations 6-10, first press +5, then press 1 for location 6, 2
for location 7, 3 for location 8, 4 for location 9, or 5 for location 10.
Note: All memory stations are cleared when battery power is lost for more

Key Lock
You can lock the tuning and memory controls on your radio to prevent
accidental band, station, or memory changes.
To turn on key lock, hold down LOCK, then press MODE until LOCK appears.
To turn off lock, hold down LOCK, then press MODE again so LOCK
disappears.
Note: When you turn on lock, you can still turn the radio on and off and
adjust VOLUME, FM-ST/MONO, E-BASS ON/OFF, and EAR/SPK.
Changing the AM/FM Band Step Rate
Your radio's AM/FM band is preset to tune in 10 kHz increments for AM and
100 kHz for FM - the standard frequency steps for radio frequencies in the
United States. If you travel to other countries where the step rate is 9
kHz for AM and 50 kHz for FM (Europe, for example), you can set your radio
to tune in those increments by following these steps.
1. Open the battery compartment and remove the batteries.
2. Use a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) to set the
switch inside the compartment to 10 kHz or 9 kHz (for the AM step
rate).
3. Replace the batteries and the compartment's cover.
Note: When you switch the step rate to 9 kHz, the clock changes from
a 12-hour to a 24-hour format.
