When the FM reception is poor, set AM/FM MONO/FM ST to FM MONO
(monaural). Although the sound will not be heard in stereo, noise will be
reduced.
If you hold or place the radio near a pack of cigarettes, the wrapping foil
may interfere with the AM signal and noise may occur.
If this happens, keep the radio away from the pack of cigarettes.
