Using the FM radio
Telescopic aerial
Please make sure that the aerial on the top of the Radio 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
Check that your Radio is in FM radio mode. If you are not already in FM mode, briefly
press and release the 'DAB/FM' button until you are in FM mode (check the display).
The DAB/FM button can be found on the front of the radio, underneath and to the
right of the display.
When your radio is in FM mode it can receive Radio Data System or 'RDS' information
if this is being transmitted by the broadcaster. RDS information will often include the
station name, detail about the programme and the current time.
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
In FM mode:
1.
Press and release the 'Scan' button on the front of the radio to scan up the
frequency band. Your Radio will search for the next available station and then stop
on that station.
2. Use the 'Tune/Select' rotary control to fine tune each frequency in 0.05MHz steps,
if necessary.
Note: If reception is still poor check that the aerial is fully extended or try moving
the Radio to another location.
Changing the scan setting
In FM mode:
1.
Press and release the 'Menu' button. '<Scan setting>' is displayed. Press the 'Tune/
Select' rotary control to 'Select'. There are now two different options to choose
from and the current setting will have an '*' next to it.

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.
