Owner’s Manual Conventions
To indicate a key, button, knob or other physical control, we print the label in BOLD UPPER CASE. To indicate an LCD (display) label, option, or selection, we use UPPER or Lower Case italic labels such as MENU, 5 Seconds, Channel 06.
Occasionally we indicate an option as (default). This means that the option is set in the manner indicated at the factory and is the setting when you first apply power. If you choose not to alter it, the default is the setting used by the radio.
