How to use the M MODE button
If you press M MODE, the unit goes into
functions mode, then the number buttons and
5/ buttons work as different function buttons.
Ex.: When number button 2 works as
MO (monaural) button.
To use these buttons for their original
functions again after pressing M MODE, wait
for 5 seconds without pressing any of these
buttons until the functions mode is cleared or
press M MODE again.
