  • Page 9: Operation

    Si4844-B-DEMO 4. Operation The S4844-DEMO Board, a complete analog tune and digital display radio, provides two major modes of operation: Time mode and FM/AM/SW Radio mode. 4.1. Time Mode Put two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. The board will automatically enter Time Mode and display the time.
  • Page 10 Si4844-B-DEMO 4.2. FM/AM/SW Radio Mode In Time mode, after a long press (hold time > 1s) of the POWER/BAND button or when the alarm time is reached, the device will enter FM/AM/SW Mode. The LCD displays the following information: band indicator, band frequency indicator, and sleep indicator in case the radio is automatically turned on by the alarm.
