7. Radio operation
7.1 Selecting the frequency band
When your iElements has been switched on, it will start in the last selected playback mode.
By repeatedly pressing the symbol you can switch between the playback modes
(FM radio, AM radio, iPod, Aux).
In FM radio mode you can receive FM radio stations and in the AM radio mode you can
receive AM radio stations. For further information on Aux or iPod, please refer to sections 9.2
or 9.6.
NOTE!
The FM frequency band is between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz on VHF band
II. The AM frequency band is between 522 kHz and 1620 kHz (Europe) and
between 520 kHz and 1710 kHz (USA).
7.2 Scanning stations
If you have selected a frequency range (FM radio or AM radio), you can search for stations
with the << and >> buttons.
Pressing and holding one of these buttons briefly activates an automatic scan in the
corresponding direction. If a strong station signal is located, the automatic scan stops and
the radio station is played.
You can fine-tune the station frequency by briefly pressing the << and >> buttons.
If you do not change the station frequency setting for approx. 10 seconds, the time appears
on the display instead of the station frequency.
NOTE!
Make sure that the antenna is properly connected and that the antenna
selection switch is set correctly. It is not possible to receive a station in the AM
range unless the supplied AM antenna is connected.
7.3 Presetting stations
Your iElements can save up to 10 stations per frequency band in the preset memory.
If you have found a station that you would like to save, press the menu button to access the
menu. Now press the << or >> button until
MEM SET appears on the display.
Next select one of the memory presets from p 0 to p 9 with the + and – buttons. The
subsequent message
FREE
or
USED
informs you whether the memory preset is still free or if
you have already assigned it. You can also re-assign previously assigned memory presets.
Confirm your selection with the menu button.
P 0...9 SAVED
appears on the display.
If you would like to cancel your selection, simply do not press any button for approx. 5
seconds. Your iElements then returns from the menu to regular playback mode.
