RX+45e
FM mode
Briefly press the ‘Standby’ button on the top of your radio to go to FM mode.
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.
Telescopic aerial
Please make sure that the aerial on the back of the radio is fully extended and adjusted
before you attempt to tune to an FM station (a vertical position is recommended). 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.
Tuning to an FM station
1. Press and release the ‘Scan’ button on the top of your radio to scan up the frequency
band. Press and hold ‘Scan’ to scan down the frequency band. Your radio will search for the
next available station and then stop on that station.
2. Use the right hand rotary tune control to fine tune each frequency in 0.05MHz steps.
You can also turn the rotary tune control quickly to go straight to a specific frequency.
The RDS information for each station will be displayed, if available.
Note : 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 on the top of your radio that you would like to store
the station to (1-5) for 3 seconds. ‘Preset X stored’, where ‘X’ is the number of the preset
location will be displayed.
3. To store a preset under preset locations 6-10, press and release ‘Shift’, ‘<Preset 6 - 10>’ is
displayed, then press and hold the preset button that you would like to store the station
to for 3 seconds.
Note : If there is already an existing FM station stored under a preset, it will be over written
when you store the new station.
Tune to an FM preset station
In FM mode:
1. For presets 1-5, simply press the Preset location button and your radio will tune to the
station stored under that button.
2. For presets 6-10, press and release the ‘Shift’ button, then press the preset location
button. Your radio will then tune to the station stored under that button.
