Using the Radio
A built-in FM radio (87.5MHz to 108.0MHz) lets you enjoy listening to
broadcasts while you walk. This section explains the operations you
need to perform when you want to listen to the radio while exercising.
•
You can turn on the radio and perform a tuning operation while any
screen is on the display. Note, however, that the “RADIO” indicator
and current frequency are displayed on the stopwatch screen only.
Turning on the Radio
The ear clip wire also functions as the antenna for the radio. Keep the
ear clip connected to the Pulse Monitor whenever you are using the
radio.
Warning!
•
Never turn on the radio while wearing the Pulse Monitor. Sudden and
loud output from the earpieces can damage your hearing. Always
remove the Pulse Monitor before turning on the radio, and adjust
volume to a comfortable level before putting on the Pulse Monitor.

Selecting a Frequency
There are two ways to select a radio frequency for listening: Auto Scan

Tuning lets you register up to five frequencies in memory for quick and
easy tuning of your favorite stations.

Using Auto Scan
With Auto Scan, the radio scans frequencies and automatically stops at
the first receivable frequency that it finds.
•
If you have problems finding a receivable frequency with Auto Scan, it
could mean that reception is poor at your current location. Try moving
to a different location and perform Auto Scan again.
To use Auto Scan
1. While the radio is turned on, hold down the
TUNE
button to select
Auto Scan.
2. Press the
TUNE
button.
•
This causes the radio to scan
frequencies and stop at the first
receivable one it finds.
•
If the radio cannot find a receivable
frequency, it will continue to scan
without stopping. Press the
TUNE
button again to stop scanning.
3. To continue scanning from the current frequency, press the
TUNE
button again.
Using Memory Tuning
Memory Tuning lets you register up to five frequencies in frequency
memory for quick and easy tuning. You can perform the following
procedure while Auto Scan or Memory Tuning is selected as the tuning
mode.
To register a frequency
1. While the radio is turned on, hold down
the
RADIO
button for about two seconds.
•
This displays the screen for the
currently selected frequency memory,
with the memory number and
frequency flashing on the display. This
is the frequency registration screen.
2. Press the
MODE/SELECT
button to cycle through frequency memory
screens in numeric sequence (
1
through
5
).
3. When the screen of the memory whose frequency you want to
change is displayed, use the
+
(increase) and
–
(decrease) buttons to
tune in the frequency you want.
•
Each press of
+
or
–
changes the displayed frequency by 0.1MHz.
•
Holding down either button changes the frequency at high speed.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to register other frequencies, if you want.
5. After registering all the frequencies you want, press the
RADIO
button to exit the frequency registration screen.

The Pulse Monitor will automatically exit the frequency registration
screen if you leave it on the display for two or three minutes without
performing any button operation.
