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

If you are not already in FM mode, briefly press and release the Mode button until you are in 
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

In FM mode:
1.  Press and hold the ‘Menu’ button, ‘<Full scan>’ will be displayed. 
2.  Press the rotary ‘Tune/Select’ control to select. The display will change to ‘Scanning...’.  

and the radio will scan up the frequency band.  

3.  Use the rotary ‘Tune/Select’ 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 hold the ‘Menu’ button.  ‘<Full scan>’ will be displayed. 
2.  Use the rotary ‘Tune/Select’ control to scroll to ‘<Scan setting>’ and press the 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. 

•  All stations - the scan will stop for every station it receives, even if the signal strength 

is poor.

3.  Use the rotary ‘Tune/Select’ control to scroll and choose from the two options available 

and press to ‘Select’.
