I had the same thing. I can't remember what the function was called but it
took me a few hours to find out what it was trough experimentation.

Press the right hand volume control down briefly disables it.

I really hate the controls for this radio. They add stupid functions like
this to the front panel but leave important things like memory skip deep
in the menus.
