USING FM RDS RADIO (analogue terrestrial broadcasting)
Select
FM RADIO
mode from the main menu. This is the traditional, most common way of broadcasting
radio programmes. The telescopic antenna at the rear must be pulled out for reception. With the antenna
in the right position and near the window, reception is usually better.
The first time you use it - or if you have not previously stored FM stations - it will ask you if you want
to search for radio stations. Press the
OK
button. The display shows the frequencies checked and the
number of programmes found.
•
You can also start a new search at any time from the SETTINGS menu.
If you have searched for radio stations, you will see a list of them
in the order of reception frequency. The ordinal number of the programme
is shown in the top right corner. Choose one using the method you learned.
Use the
left arrow
to return to the list of stations and select another programme. Use the
right arrow
for
more textual information about the programme if it is provided by the service
provider (FM RDS).
The display can also show the clock.
The
right arrow
can be used in the list view to
edit the list or delete selected programmes.
Follow the on-screen instructions!
Manual tuning—fine tuning
Press and hold
OK
and the
TUNING
screen will appear
on the bottom right part of the display.
Use the buttons
to set the desired
frequency.
To exit, press and hold
OK
again
and the “TUNING” message will disappear.
This frequency can be saved
to your favourites.

In order to work, there must be good quality FM reception in your area. Check the FM broadcasting
stations available in your area.
•
If reception is good, the ST (stereo) signal is displayed in the top left corner next to the RDS signal.
•
The search stops when it detects changing signal strength—this does not always mean that a radio
programme was found.
•
The reception ability of the radio depends to a large extent on where it is used and the current
reception conditions.
•
Nearby electrical equipment and large metal objects may interfere with reception.
•
Be careful not to break the antenna!
•
This mode of operation does not require an Internet connection.
•
Remember, if FM reception is weak in your area, you may find the programmes you are looking for
in Internet radio mode!
WIRELESS BT CONNECTION
The equipment can be paired with other devices communicating according to BT protocol, within an
effective range of maximum 10 metres. Following this you can listen to the music played on a mobile
phone, tablet, notebook and other similar devices on the radio. Select
BT
mode in the main menu. Place
the device to be paired near it and find the nearby BT devices, also including this radio as described
in the instructions for use. Connect the two devices to each other. After the successful connection, the
