Abstract: We find charged, abelian, spherically symmetric solutions (in flat space-time) corresponding to the effective action of $D=4$ heterotic string theory with scale-dependent dilaton $p$ and modulus $vp$ fields. We take into account perturbative (genus-one), moduli-dependent `threshold' corrections to the coupling function $f(p,vp)$ in the gauge field kinetic term $f(p,vp)F_m^2$, as well as non-perturbative scalar potential $V(p,vp)$, e.g. induced by gaugino condensation in the hidden gauge sector. Stable, finite energy, electric solutions (corresponding to on abelian subgroup of a non-abelian gauge group) have the small scale region as the weak coupling region ($phia-infty$) with the modulus $vp$ slowly varying towards smaller values. Stable, finite energy, abelian magnetic solutions exist only for a specific range of threshold correction parameters. At small scales they correspond to the strong coupling region ($painfty$) and the compactification region ($vpa0$). The non-perturbative potential $V$ plays a crucial role at large scales, where it fixes the asymptotic values of $phi$ and $vp$ to be at the minimum of $V$.
