General Radio Operation
Backlight
If poor light conditions make the display or channel numbers (around
the 16-Position Select knob) difficult to read, turn on the radio’s
backlights by pressing the Light button.
These lights will remain on for a preprogrammed time before they turn
off automatically, or you can turn them off immediately by pressing the
Light button again.
Status Symbols
The top two rows in the display contain symbols indicating the radio’s
