FUNCTION AND LOCATION OF THE CONTROLS

possible to use external vehicular antennas to obtain a better performance.

turning the knob to the right the function is activated, by turning the knob to the

the unit. Turn the knob clockwise a little more to set the audio level, until you get a
comfortable reception.
