to provide optimum performance under most operating
conditions, but can be adjusted to suit changing conditions
if required.

First press and hold the SQL key while rotating the
channel selector knob. ‘BUSY’ will flash indicating the

release the SQL key). Continue rotating the channel
selector knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select the

hold the SQL key for 1.5 seconds (or simply wait
5 seconds for the Edit mode to time-out).
