fm radio mode
When the AirStream 10 is in FM mode it can receive Radio Data System or ‘RDS’
information if being transmitted by the broadcaster. RDS information will often
include the station name, detail about the programme and the current time.
Selecting ‘fm’ mode
Always ensure the aerial is fully extended and adjusted (a vertical position is
recommended), to ensure maximum signal strength and the best possible sound
quality when scanning or listening to FM stations.
Press the ‘Mode’ button and scroll through the modes until you reach “FM Radio”.
The first time FM mode is selected on the AirStream 10, it will display the default
87.5MHz frequency.
If listening to an FM station on the AirStream 10 when last switched off, this station
will be automatically selected when the AirStream 10 is switched on again.
tuning to a fm Station
There are several methods of tuning into FM Radio stations on the AirStream 10.
Press the ‘Tune/Select Dial’ and it will automatically scan through the stations until
it finds a strong enough signal, it will stop and then play that station. Alternatively,
manually scan for stations, by pressing the left or right arrow buttons.
changing the Scan Setting
If the desired station isn’t displayed after the auto scan, try changing the “Scan
Setting”. There are 2 options:
Strong Stations -
The scan will only stop when a strong signal strength is received
which should also result in better audio quality. It is possible however, to miss the
desired station using this option if the signal is weak.
All Stations -
The scan will stop for every station received, even if the signal strength
is weak. Select “no” in the station scan menu option for this scan setting.
To change the setting:
Press the ‘Menu’ button and use the ‘Tune/Select Dial’ to scroll to and select
1.
‘Scan Setting’. At the prompt:
use the ‘Tune/Select Dial’ to highlight and select a scan option. Select ‘yes’ for
2.
strong stations only, or ‘no’ to search for all stations.
The next time the ‘Tune/Select Dial’ is pressed to scan for a station, from the
3.
FM playing screen, your chosen scan option will be used.
