Attenuator function
The attenuator prevents a desired signal from distorting when
very strong signals are near the desired frequency or when
very strong electric fields, such as from a broadcasting sta-
tion, are near your location.
Push
[
ATT]
for 1 sec. to toggle the attenuator function
ON and OFF.
• “ATT” appears when the attenuator function is in use.

ting condition, then rotate [R-DIAL] to select the desired
