station name, detail about the programme and the current time�
If you were listening to an FM station when you switched the radio of 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�
