3. While holding down the ERASE button (15), press the F1-7 button

that you wish to erase. Note that the box surrounding the memory
location disappears.

4. Release the ERASE button.

DELETING ALL MEMORY CONTENTS

Hold down the EDIT and SSB buttons simultaneously, then press
RESET (2). This deletes the contents of all memory pages.

USING THE ATS MEMORY FEATURE

Auto Tuning Storage (ATS) automatically stores the strongest FM local
stations into memory, starting with page 99 and continuing down-
ward until all are stored, e.g. 99, 98, 97, etc.

To select and start ATS:

3. Hold down the F6 button for about 2 seconds, then release. Note

that the last chosen mode flashes in the screen.

4. While the mode flashes, perform quick, short presses of the F6 button

to select ATS, then press the PAGE/TIME (4) button.

5. Press the

Auto Tuning button for about two seconds to start the

ATS scan.

ATS NOTE:

After the ATS scan, if too many memories are filled with

static, try the scan again with the DX/LOCAL switch set in the LOCAL
position.

The light illuminates the display and buttons. There are three light
modes.

Normal Mode:

Pressing any button activates the light. The light

automatically turns off after 15 seconds.

Always-On Mode:

When powered by its AC adapter, the light

remains always-on when the G5 is turned on.

Manual Light-On/Off Mode:

If the light is off, pressing the LIGHT

button (7) activates the light for 15 seconds. Pressing it again within
15 seconds turns the light off.

The external antenna socket is used to connect the G5 to advanced
performance antennas using a 50 or 75-Ohm coaxial cable feed-line.
There are many such antennas on the market today. Typing in
‘shortwave antennas’ on your favorite Internet search site will provide
further information. Contact Eton Corporation if you have questions
about such antennas.

When listening to FM stations this switch selects stereo or monaural.
Select stereo when using earphones. When not using earphones, it’s
OK to leave it on stereo. In either case, if the FM signal is poor, selecting
mono may improve it.
