Note:
If you
fi
nd that FM reception is poor, try
repositioning the wire aerial. Place the wire antenna so
that it is as straight as possible extending either above
or below the radio for optimum reception.
If you
fi
nd that an FM broadcast has a lot of background
hiss, this may often be reduced by setting the radio
into Mono reception mode for the current FM station.
Please refer to the section 'Stereo / Mono setting - FM'
on page 17 for further details.
