Setting FM Muting

[FM Band Only]

You can turn FM Muting ON to silence your radio as you tune frequencies where either no station exits or the station that is using that frequency is weak. Muting eliminates the noise unless the level of the signal is sufficient for comfortable listening.

.Use ▲ or ▼ to FM Muting. Press ENTER to select it.

3.Use ▲ or ▼ to choose either On to enable muting, Off to disable a previously set muting on condition or Exit to take no action. Press ENTER.

With muting on, as you tune through the FM band, the usual noise from weak or unassigned frequencies in your area will be silenced.
