Step 3: Accessing the Correct Screen
- Press the "m" buttom on the right side of the radio and hold it down untill the serial number is displayed in the radio's main display panel (about 10 seconds).
- Use the "+" or "-" keys on the left side of the radio to change options until the center display read "GAL 3" (GAL 3 is the default factory setting, if it was changed before it will read "GAL X" X being a number between 1 and 6).

Step 4: Selecting the Setting
- Use the pre-set buttons (big buttons below radio's the main display numbered 1-6).
- Each number corresponds to a setting - 1 is the least speed sensitivity - 6 is the most speed sensitivity - 3 is the factory setting.
- If you want to gain more volume with speed then go to a higher setting. If you want to gain less volume with speed then go to a lower setting. A setting of 1 will disable the speed sensitive volume completely.
- Once you have selected your new setting, turn the radio OFF and back ON to save the changes.
