Using The Fm Radio; Fm Radio Mode; Tuning To An Fm Station; Changing The Scan Setting - Alba Mono DAB Instruction Manual

Using the FM Radio

Telescopic aerial
Please make sure that the aerial is fully extended before you
attempt to tune to an FM station. This will ensure that the
maximum signal strength is available when the radio begins to
scan. Extending the aerial also ensures the best possible sound
quality.

FM Radio mode

If you are not already in FM mode, briefly press and release the
'Mode' button to go to FM mode (check the display).
If you were listening to an FM station when you switched the Radio
off then this station will be automatically selected when you switch
the Radio back on.

Tuning to an FM station

Press and hold the 'Next' button to scan up the frequency band.
Press and hold the 'Prev' button to scan down the frequency band.
Press and release the 'Next' or 'Prev' buttons to fine tune each
frequency in 0.05MHz steps.
Note: If reception is still poor adjust the position of the aerial or try
moving the radio to another location.

Changing the Scan setting

In FM mode:
1. Press and hold the 'Menu' button until '<Preset Store>' is
displayed.
2. Press and release the 'Prev' or 'Next' button until '<Scan
setting>' is displayed. Press and release the 'Select/Snooze'
button to select.
The current Scan setting will have an '*' in the top right of the
display.

There are two different options to choose from:
Strong stations
The scan will only stop when a strong signal strength is
received which should also result in a better audio quality. It is
possible that the station you are scanning for may be missed
using this option.
All stations
The scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the
signal strength is poor.
3. Use the 'Prev' or 'Next' buttons to choose from the two
options available and press the 'Select/Snooze' button to
select. Press and release the 'Menu' button to return to the
station display.

Audio mode

The radio will automatically switch between Stereo and Mono,
depending on the quality of the signal being received but you can
override this function and manually switch between 'Forced mono'
and 'Stereo allowed' .
Note: As this is a Mono radio, you may wish to only select the
'Stereo allowed' option if you are listening to your radio using
headphones.
1. Press and hold the 'Menu' button until '<Preset Store>' is
displayed.
2. Press and release the 'Prev' or 'Next' button until '<Audio
setting>' is displayed. Press and release the 'Select/Snooze'
button to select.
There are now two different options of 'Forced mono' and
'Stereo allowed' and the current setting will have an '*' in the
top right of the display.
