FM Radio

Operating your radio in FM mode

Carefully extend the telescopic aerial and press the Standby button to switch on your radio.

Press the Radio button as needed to select FM radio mode.

Press the Tuning Up button (on the radio) or the Tunning Up button (on the remote control) 
and then the Auto button on the remote control. The displayed frequency will increase. Your 
radio will scan up the FM band from the currently displayed frequency and will stop scanning 
when it finds a station of sufficient strength.

The display will show the frequency of the signal which has been found. If RDS information 
is available, after a few seconds the display will show the radio station name. If you only hear 
hiss or interference, simply press the Auto button to scan further. Your radio may have found a 
spurious interference signal.

To find more FM stations press the Auto button (on the remote control) to repeat the scan operation. 
To scan down in frequency, press the Tunning Down button (on the radio) or the Tunning Down 
button (on the remote control) and then the Auto button. Your radio will scan down the FM band 
from the currently displayed frequency and will stop scanning when it finds a signal of sufficient 
strength.

Alternatively press and hold the Tunning Up on the radio to scan up in frequency or the Tunning 
Down button to scan down the FM band. 

When the end of the waveband is reached your radio will recommence tuning from the opposite 
end of the waveband. Use the Volume buttons to adjust the sound level as needed.
