Using the FM Radio
FM Radio Mode
Check that your radio is in FM mode. You will see ‘
FM
’ to the
far right of line 1 of the display together with a radio
frequency eg: 89.60MHz.
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
1. If you are not already in FM mode, press the ‘
DAB/FM
’ button
to go to FM mode.
2. Press the ‘
Scan
’ button. The Radio will scan until it finds the
next station where it will stop and show the frequency, or
RDS information, if it is available.
Note:
With FM radio it may be necessary to ‘fine tune’ each
station by turning the ‘
Tune
’ control. If reception is still
poor adjust the position of the aerial or try moving the radio
to another location.
Storing an FM station preset
Your radio can store up to 10 FM stations in its preset
memories for instant access to your favourite stations
Note:
When you store FM radio station presets, these do not
overwrite your DAB+ station presets.
1. Tune your radio to the station that you wish to preset (see
Tuning to an FM station on this page).
2. Press and hold the ‘
Preset
’ button. Preset location 1 will be
displayed.
3. Turn the rotary ‘
Tune
’ control to the preset location that you
would like to store the radio station to (1-10). Press the ‘
Tune
’
control to save the station to the displayed preset location.
The display will confirm ‘
Preset X stored
’, where ‘X’ is the
number of the preset location (1-10).
Note:
If there is already an existing FM station stored under
a preset location, it will be over written when you store the
new station.
