fo r reconsideration of the decision to
store. If it is desirable to leave the
“ o ld ” frequency in m em ory rather
than exchanging it w ith the “ new ”
one, quickly release the button. The
“ o ld ” frequency will remain in m em ­
ory.

similarly on any button marked

Stereo reception
The stereo indicator symbol
lights up if a stereo program is
received.
The radio is equipped with an
autom atic stereo/m ono sw itch that
electronically sw itches to m ono fo r
clear reception if a weak signal is
received. A special c irc u it provides
fo r a sm ooth change-over rather than
a hard sudden sw itching, thereby
reducing noise and interference.
The stereo indicator will remain lit
even if the receiver has changed to
the mono mode and will turn off at an
antenna signal considered insufficient
to provide acceptable reception qual­
ity.
